You gotta hand it to Portland tonight. They made a ton of outside shots, they made Sheed look like a scarecrow on D, and they bothered us down the stretch with their defensive effort. They have some talented players who don't get bored making the same shot over and over. |
Agreed. Nazr was a difference maker FOR portland.
Sheed was exhausted as were most of the other starters.
Also, Rip will continue to be unsuccessful until Flip starts running the curls/pick sets. He is NOT a slasher. Tay is going to continue to get lost if there is no ball movement.
I watch our offense and it's the equivalent of the players coming down the floor and just doing whatever they feel like. It's so disjointed, unstructered, and we take way too many jumpshots. Jumpshots are not going to fall with tired legs.
I won't even bother talking about the defense b/c well we didn't play any. Our pick and roll defense was painful.
No Amir/Afflalo 4 min (and the only guy who could defend PORT guards)
Joe D better be prepared to back his word up.
