He’s really not getting a lot of touches. No wonder his O is off

see you just posted this below.

Rockets are ballin’ as usual.

we’ll win.

and he did a great job at cooling him a bit. TT had a couple buckets early before Donte came in. Maybe with Noc covering Dirk so well, PW thought Donte wsn’t needed on D.

But wht about on offense? I would like to know why he wasn’t used too

That Boggins dude

I guess that makes sense. NBA TV sucks!

Reke has to sustain this level of performance for several weeks, sneak a few wins just to get to the crazy hypelove Jennings is getting. That being said, maybe all Reke has to do is explode for 55 on Jennings’ ass and the ROY chase is over.

And about 3 great games so far. It’s easy to judge him for scoring, but scoring at a high rate the way Jennings can really help a team when he’s doing it without taking away from whatever else the team needs.

It wasn’t that close by the last 2 minutes. It’s just that the Kings hit a couple of shots in the last 20 secs to get it that close.

It was a pretty close game, but the margin of loss was probably 6 maybe 8 points. No biggie really, but that’s the reality.

First off, I don’t believe most of the team has a handle on team defense. In the Chicago game, Salmons came down the baseline off a pick & roll. Tyreke got lost by the pick and Donte didn’t step out to stop Salmons. JT was on the blocks weak side, and instead of giving help defense and moving over to block Salmon, he moved out to the FT line to double Noah. And, Salmons got an easy dunk. In other games we’ve had other example of player messing up. In the Houston game we had 2 players go to double the same player making it a triple, while leaving one of their men open for a 3 at the top of the circle.

Now, being young and inexperienced, I expect mistakes like these. But, they’re being made by every player, and PW isn’t reacting the same. Omri makes a bad cross court pass when he gets trapped along the baseline, and he gets yanked. Tyreke & Beno make stupid entry passes, and nothing happens.

I also, don’t like the defensive substitutions. Thomas scores zero points, but he plays the entire 4th of the Chicago game and Spencer sits. When Mason was here he got major minutes, in crunch time. It seems that PW is trying to be some kind of Defensive Guru, when the major problem isn’t individual defense but TEAM defense. And, everytime he puts one of these defensive specialist he takes away from our offense.

On offense, I think we’re perdictable. Martin, Tyreke, & Beno drive into the paint (shot, pass, or turnover the ball). No motion. Everyone else simply moves out to the 3pt line and stands around waiting for the pass & to open the lane, which in the Chicao game didn’t happen. I also don’t like the fact that PW seems to have decided that its better to feed JT in the post then to use Spencer.

In general, I hate his go with the gut substitution pattern. He’s too quick to yank people. Donte has his career day, and the next game he gets limited minutes. Spencer starts, then sees no time in the 2nd quarter. He starts the 3rd and sits the 4th. Some players need consistant minutes to get into their rhythm. Shooters like BJax can be used like that, but not most.

But, Kidd got 11 assists. Take away some of Kidd’s pts and assists, and make the rest of the team beat you. That’s my point, Dallas is a better team with Kidd handing out easy baskets. The double didn’t always have to come off of Kidd.

It was one of my points in the pregame discussion
