Clippers minus Paul really stink. Great Defense first half.

Held Clips to 19 points in the first and 20 in the 2nd. Kudos to the defense.

It seems to look good if Stat or Chandler isn't on the floor with Melo. If both big men are on the floor at the same time it seems to be more of an issue. Remember Chandler didn't play against Atlanta.

But we've seen these passes even before the coaching change when everyone said they couldn't play together. Which is why I just. dont. understand why STAT doesn't MOVE, CUT MORE! I just always catch him out there watching instead of moving

It really does take a lot more precision to your sets when you have STAT, Melo and Tyson out there, cuz there's far less room to do what you want to do. STAT and Tyson want to play closer to the basket and run PnR, so they are looking to do the exact same thing except that STAT can hit from the elbow. Woody has to really spend time walking them thru sets that will allow some space. What I see is everyone is moving to get the ball at the same time rather than a sequence where you have motion and each player pops out off screens at different times. Right now there's no rhythm to the sets. So guys are bumping into each other and getting in each others way.

Chandler did not play in ATL. I understand we are up 9 but that is not the point I am making. We may be winning but we have looked really bad on off. There is no flow on off whenever all 3 of them play. The one thing that could help the flow is if Amare could hit that midrange shot like last year. He is bricking most of them this year..

I love what you said about the motion in the off coming from different people at different times. This would help with spacing and flow a lot.

Too many guys are moving aimlessly. They need some order to the motion. Sometimes they have it and then they get sloppy. IT's up to Baron to try and get them reorganized when he sees the set breaking down.

Knicks playing for nothing now as Magic win against the horrid Cats. Kemba went 2-10 and pretty much stabbed his team in the neck in the 4th.

Melo is just scoring at will. STAT is bricking badly enough to almost match Melo Brick for shot.

Defense has disappeared for stretches as well.

TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!
