In the first half of games 4-0 Baby let the winning continue! But on a serious note, how can you win the first half of every game and get completely **** stomped in the 2nd half of all of them? Is it because you have a 7'6 blob that clogs the paint and comes off the bench to destroy chemistry? What causes this Maserati of a team to derail and burn in the latter stretches of games
The other team just steps up and have played better than us. It doesn't help that our chemistry is out of whack and our defense isn't that good. It also doesn't help that we don't run any good plays when clutch time comes.
Lack of leadership. We need someone to be our closer EVERY game. But no one will step up to the task.
Hornets game: "It's the final minute", the commentator says, for all the world to hear, "they're going to go to the high pick-and-roll with Chris Paul and David West. You can put money on it." Seconds later, the Hornets go to a high pick-and-roll with Chris Paul and David West. West pulls-up to draw the foul on Luis Scola, but sinks the shot anyway; Paul rattles off 5 unanswered points to drive the nail completely in the Rockets' coffin. The Houston Rockets fail to execute. Everyone on earth knows what the Hornets are going to do - and they succeed in doing it. No one on earth, including the Rockets, knows what the Rockets are going to do - and thus they fail.
Good point. I don't think it's the chemistry thing. It could be about making adjustment during the game. Poor Mr. Adelman, another stats that is not favoring you.
We need something like AB-Scola (not as good as CP3 West) but I think is the closes thing we got to a two man game. But we need to know. Right now, no clear cut what we going to do. AB-Scola could be the best thing. both can finish and both can shoot the mid range. Some pick and roll or pick and pop. The problem we try to play adelman game at the end of game and it will not work. In LA once is late in game we know is Kobe Gasol, they forget about the triangle offense and just let them play the 2 man games, old school pick and roll or Isolation one on one.
Thats true. We have noone who comes remotely close to Kobe or Gasol in the 4th.We dont have anyone anywhere near as good as them period.
Tmac is a joke right now and Yao is not all that better. Iwouldnt even put them in the top 50 players in the league.
Its coaching. Team adjust to our scheme in the second half and RA is too stubborn to make a change. how about make the most of Two 24 mins and feed him the damn ball instead of showing AB and Martin the green light to chuck up threes. How about sub out scOla so at least we don't leave Jason ****ing Smith wide open 3 posssession in a row? This one is on RA.
Err isn't the answer kinda' obvious? We don't make the adjustments necessary in the 2nd half. Its not about anything intangible like heart or chemistry, we just don't make adjustments of our own when the opponent makes adjustments. Coaching just sucks right now. No way this team should be 0-4.
