all after 4 games, lol

Cool

Ira wrote:Lee looks like he's improved his offensive game once again. He's improved his outside shot and looks better posting players up. He's more confident in both of those areas this season. I wouldn't be surprised to see him averaging 18-20 points a game this season.

Now if he could just grow a set of defensive balls then we might be able to offer him a long term deal. It's important to NOT back away from the guy driving past you. Either take a charge, foul him, or block/alter his shot. And when your team mate gets beat, shift over and pick up the slack.

David can be really solid in many ways (boards, scoring, hustle plays) but he just doesn't try too hard on D. I hope THAT part of his game improves dramatically this season.

completely agreed. Didn't like Chandler at the 2 at all. And although Hughes didn't lock down Paul at all (no one can), he did make it difficult for 3 1/2 quarters.

we are a team that plays at a high pace, so there are going to be more possessions and therefore more points scored.

it's about efficiency.
averages after a few games are also very misleading due to the small sample size.

harrington and gallo had 1 huge game which will weigh their averages higher, even with games where they haven't scored as much.

and, yeah, hughes didn't even play the first two games.

here are your efficiency ratings so far this year...look where hughes is. insane right?

I was an advocate of Chandler at the 2 on defense but at the 3 on offense-- switching defensive assignments with Gallo. I never thought his 3pt percentage would be 12% or that he would forget how and when to drive the ball. Maybe he will turn it around, but he is looking more like a 3/4 tweener off the bench than a starting lineup player.
