Hate to nitpick in the midst of a great streak, but must be fixed.

It was scary bad last night and against Phoenix (two games we managed to win mainly with rebounding and, incredibly, foul shooting last night) and plenty of other times this season too, though those 2 games jumped out at me. Defending the P&R, I would think, would be just the kind of thing Larry would devote hour after practice hour to until we got it right. But it doesn't even seem like we know what we're trying to get done. Go over the picks or go under. Show hard on D or not. Switch or not. We don't do a very good job at any of those anyway. We figure this out, and keep up the good offense and great rebounding, and we'll be a force.

I think at times it is better than others depending on the personel involved and how tired some players are. Curry for example gets a little lazy sometimes and does not get out to stop the guard quickly enough. I've noticed that more later in the games when he could be more fatiged. Also rookies don't always play it well which is expected.

Hey...if you could just practice stopping the pick and roll it wouldn't be the staple of offense for all of these years.

bernard makes a very good point, there were a couple of times last night where nate was gaurding Dirk in key stretches! luckily for us he didnt really take advantage of it, becuase its something this team definately has to work on.
