C'mon Hands. Blatche was awful tonight. The offense was totally stagnant with the two bigs alongside the thoroughly ineffective AD. I thought EJ made the right move bringing in a third guard and moving Jamison to PF. We didn't really suffer on the defensive glass because of it and New York wasn't scoring on the block.
The problem was that he had the wrong 3 guards in the game. Instead of AD, Mason, Stevenson; he should have had Mason, Stevenson, Young.
We'll have to disagree. Put the bigs in and feed them the dame ball. Im sick of all the outside shots with so few coming from the bigs. Haywood made several good moves and got fouled. I don't even remember seeing them post up AB once. Just because they are in, doesn't mean they are being used well.
NY hit some shots but you can't count on him because his game is all one-on-one and he forces a lot of shots. Sure if you want to call his number on the last play, but to have him in there down the stretch was what we saw the other game. It would be 1 on 5 and no chance of him passing the ball. I doubt that would have worked either.
Another problem was how long we left Songaila in. We lost like a 12 pt lead. That was on EJ also. We could have easily won this game.
But give EJ GA and CB and we will win again because they are awesome players.
The problem will come in the playoffs when we need a post game. We won't have one. We will either hit from the outside or loss trying.
