    But but but... Lin's supposed to be the unathletic and slowest one. :confused:

    Look at our offense. It doesn't seem like we can run any plays at all. What is McHale teaching these kids ?

    Depends. I'd agree with you if the only issue was effort. But they're still trying different plays to see what works. I'd expect that once the regular season starts, they'll start focusing on the higher percentage plays and we'll see efficiency go up.

    In the first few game, we run and gun. Now McHale put some defense in. It slowed the free flow of offense. It'll get better.

    Maybe the plays are fine but they are not executed well by the playmaker, namely Kevin Martin?

    Why are no pick and rolls being run????? NO is running PnR every time the floor.

    Clutch is quick.

    He already has the crazy lay up by Lin!

    Teebone, some of player chemistry is not there yet. So a few passes will be missed or lousy ball handling. McHale needs 16 preseason games to figure that out.

    It is what it is. It'll get better!

    I'm not sure what your standard is for PnR defense. But there should be a distinction made between going under or going over the screen.

    Lin is mostly trying to fight over the screen, and it's not a pretty sight trying to go over a screen set by a big man. It's going to affect the defender's movement at some level, no matter how good he is at fighting through the screen.

    If one doesn't want to get impeded by the screen, then just go under it. It's certainly less physical and less work to do it that way. Defend the dribble and give up the shot. If one is getting beat on the dribble even after going under the screen, then that's definitely defending the PnR badly.

    But going over the screen is a different situation. Which situation are you evaluating?

    Asik needs to learn how to dunk.

    That's the second time now.

    That could have been an and one.

    LOL at Samuel L Jackson. I'm surprised there's any celebrities at this game!
