my take from the 400s

there are points where the supporting cast around houston knows he's getting the ball, will be shooting the ball, and likely will be making the shot. everyone hangs on the perimeter. no motion. just waiting for the shot to go up.

both pg's get to the 3pt line pull up and move to the elbow of the arc to make the dump in pass to houston for him to create his own shot.

any time one of the upf's get the ball in the post a triple team would roll to him, passing lanes would get clogged up. our remaining 4 would sit on the perimeter, no cutter to the basket for the easy dump pass and lay up. actually it seems as though lee nailon knows this works but no one else does.

nailon was very agressive shook tim thomas off the dribble. btw tim thomas is never going to live up to the hype. just sayin'. back to nailon, he can create off the dribble and post up and he looks to be as tall as thomas and harrington. nailon is going to need a few more games to be really productive but he's really our only other scoring threat outside of kt. they aren't all on the same page. they tried to run a triangle with nailon houston and eisley to create a post up mismatch but they botched it down the stretch and thats when it all blew up. they drew it up in the huddle and couldn't execute it. i spy with binoculars.

t.knight just had another rough outing. crowd gets into him when he gets touches and hustles. he almost reminds me of when people would chant for bo kimble.

the thing so far in the first four games that bothers me most is the rotation of players. houston gets no rest in the second half and has nothing at all in the tank during the last 4 minutes.

there was a point in the third where he could have sat houston and run eisley shanderson nailon spoon and kt or some similar grouping they could have held it down for say 5 min at least and then bring houston back for the run at the end.

frustrating to say the least.

thats why they gave him an extension, they arent looking to make winners out of this team.
