well I can answer that..

we defended

we hustled

we passed

we played together

guys played for and picked up one another

we played as one unit...

So forget the record or who we played.. why are we having such a hard time doing that now our star players are healthy....

forget blaming dantoni, or injuries, or lin, or fields.. why are we such a mess right now? why is there no identity? No leadership, no unity? when we had it for a 9-10 game stretch?

why?

Cause we played crappy teams on the road.

I don't buy that. We started Chandler, JJ2, Billy, Fields, Lin. Shump, Bibby, Novak off the bench. That ain't a touch lineup either, but we matched our opponents and won. Some bad teams and some decent ones too.

Well Martin I want to ask you, what do you buy??? Follow my train of thought right here for a sec.

The team kinda lost it against the Hornets, then had everything together for the Dallas game
Then the lost it against the Nets, but had it back against the Hawks
Lost it against Heat, allstar break, then had it going again against the Cavs.

We play the celtics on sunday afternoon after getting three more days off and in the first half look like we are go run over them if we take care of the turnovers. Then ever since that half time we have for the most part played like the lock out just ended and everybody is feeling each other out.

What the hell is the reason that a team could fall like this in about two weeks, I'm all ears!!!!

Let's all collectively pull out the the white board like house and start throwing up symptoms and see if we can figure this out. What is IT.

It's a 2 fold issue. With STAT and Melo in that means that for 30+ mins of each game we get mediocre to bad D and congested and hesitant offense. In the last few games the offense has gotten a bit better, but the D and rebounding is still awful when we have those guys in there. Also it has taken away from an almost pure SSOL game for 48 mins. Lin was able to keep the same flow of the offense for an entire game. Now we have to change up when Melo is in there just so we can run plays that Melo is comfortable with. You don't see the free flowing offense as much. Ball movement and player movement stops cuz Melo is going ISO which is fine, but there's a better way to score and Melo could actually be part of it.

One thing that has really gone under the radar is that most of this slide Jared hasn't played and Tyson has been injured. We absolutely NEED those 2 guys to play significant minutes. I can't believe how much we miss Jared!!! All of a sudden you don't see as much drawn charges and lanes cut off since Jared has been out. Also it's cut down on Shumps minutes, cuz Shump isn't a great shooter, but when you have him in there with Lin, Jared & Tyson it makes a GREAT defensive unit that can apply pressure get TO's and score easy buckets. IMO this is the biggest issue. Even more than Melo.

i love this. i'm not even saying i disagree. all i'm saying is -- WTF is going on when we have a team featuring Melo and Amare and our missing piece is Jared Fucking Jeffries?!?!?! LOL!! this is some twilight zone ****. we've started losing because we don't have jared jeffries.

hahaha

it's not twilight to me. JJ2 covers the defensive mistakes of guys like Melo and Amare regularly, and he helps on D enough to make everyone on the team better. Chandler does it for the first unit.

He also hustles his balls off and that rubs off on other guys (the energy, not his balls).

With their play, Melo and Amare deflate the team. It's visible.

I want to know what has had this team playing up and down since the Hornets game, before melo and Stat came back. And since the come back the team had played well, then stunk, played well then stunk, played great in the first half against the celtics/ lost their edge in the third and had a tough lost in ot. And pretty much have flatlined since.

What is it??? What do you buy???

Yeah that's why he's a coach in the NBA. You are mistaken by thinking you know better than him when in fact you don't!

As for Jared, I have always seen his defensive contributions, but they aren't as noticeable if he's the only one doing it. During the streak minus STAT and Melo we could rely on defense and play our better defenders more.

I don't know better than him buy PJAX does. I do know better than you though
