this is what I was trying to say before. Billups is a downgrade on this team.

It's going to show up as composure once they're settled in.

I think you need to go half court in the playoffs. So, what Billups does well will be welcomed in the post season. But this offense is not going to be nearly as fast or relentless as it wss previously

Yeah but did you see Amare's comment about how they were just running around but Billups will get them into their offense. Felton has not been great of late with his shot or P&R, mostly a lot of running around.

MDA's rotation makes it smaller. Why cant Shelden Williams get some time inplace of Shawne Willlimas playing the 4?

Because he can't shoot the 3.

This team won't push it at a speed that is too fast, but they'll be much more efficient. They'll also draw more fouls and that's gonna lead to higher and more efficient scoring. If Donnie can get some big man help this team should be very tough come the playoffs. I like the defense tonight. Not perfect and we have NO REBOUNDING, but it's a solid effort for this team just coming together. It should get better.

Hey, that was a good half. I was partially expecting to be down at half, considering Melo/Billups have had no time to practice. Melo is just excited, missing tip-ins and layups that he would normally make (despite the fouls).

I'm looking forward to the second half.

I don't think Billups can run this offense fast like it has been running. If Pringles slows the pace down it will work. I'm not so worried about Billups. I'm scared of 20 MPG of Toney Douglas

Good point. Not to gush over everything Billups but I do think he'll be a good influence on TD too.

Because Shelden Williams is not that good

He's a wide body that can rebound, and he has 6 fouls to give. rather him get some mins at the 5 than Shawne Williams. MDA's fixation on this small rotation is a joke.
