    damn verse,

    I cannot believe how fast their offense is when they are making their shots. What a show last night!!

    I was a none believer since we whipped them, and haven't really watched one of their playoff games. You might have won me over on this ability to win from the outside. Robinson, and the offense, is better at distributing the ball than I assumed. Of course, Allen is exploiting a huge mismatch, but this team does have great ball movement.

    heypee,


    great ball movement is right.

    and they have 5 - count'em 5 - legit threats to bust 20-25 on yo ass!

    they are so unorthodox on offense that it's almost impossible to build a strategy against them. maybe that's why you weren't a bucks fan! i know how you like to break down plays [​IMG] ! really, they don't run many sets, it's basically read and react or 1/3 or 2/3 pnr's.

    i know you said you aren't follow me on the whole "defense is overrated thing", but keep watching the bucks play. this is exactly what i would like to see houston do with our team.

    no defense in the world can stop a 350# giant and - arguably - the best player in the league.

    the only thing you can do is

    1) try to make them work for their shots without using a double team (which allows lesser players to have big games due to poor defensive rotations) and

    2) force them to play defense on you and try to tire them out &/or get them in foul trouble.

    also, milwaukee is a perimeter team, yes. but they are a perimeter team who concentrates on the midrange jumper, the 3, and penetration. those 3 ingredients - when coupled with a good solid (not spectacular) center - is somethin' deadly.


    p.s. you may want to check out the bucks thread in the nba dish.
