| Re: Round 2 Game 5 - 7pm Mon May 17 Clev at Det We are playing with pressure and not doing well. Within that, we are not playing smart. We do not run plays or move the ball. So we can't get any space from Cleveland. Whenever we start to get momemtum, Chauncey throws the ball away on a break, loses it on a drive or jacks up a shot without a pass. Yes, he made some shots and needs to shoot even more. But 6-7 times he killed our momemtum.
Rip is back to his drives to the hoop that gets Ilgouskis blocks. Remember Indiana last year. We know we are in trouble so we go one on one or down low. We are good at neither. Unless we free up the offense and move the ball, we will get the same result. But we are really looking uphill because they are playing well, smart and we are playing uptight and not using our guys at what they do best. |
