- Play Copeland
- JR and Melo Drive the ball
- Felton continues to play like Chris Paul/ Tony Parker
- More Novak
- Avoid Foul Trouble

Novak didnt play as much cause of back spasms and Camby only got in cause of kamrt and tysons foul trouble.
I'd also like to see some serious tweaking of our offense.

keys: stop this iso Me..low crap, get back to the ball movement that got us where we are. Stop with the iso at the end of each quarter and just continue to run the offense because, 9tiems out of 10, those iso's at the end of quarters usually end as a wasted possession.

I put this one on coach as much as I do Me'low. He should have gotten in Melo's ear, told him to end this iso crap NOW.

Dude looked so disinterested and didn't even try to jump With Garnett on that jump ball. Why that play has stuck with me is because it seems to show a lack of intensity .

the fact that you can't even have an unrelated thread without some tool here bringing him up make me think that rational minds are few and far between. Bunch of emotionally weak, angst riddled people. I mean, how many times can you argue the same shyt

I think those isos are Woodsons call. To Melos credit though he was kicking it out yesterday.

Why can't Copeland get some time?

This happens in every sport come play offs. You'll have regular starters/rotation guys who come up empty, and then some scrub off the bench will come in and make a huge contribution.

Doc has that right now - he's made adjustments to the line up and is getting performance out of guys that didn't necessarily do that during the regular season.

Is Woodson waiting for the summer to try Copeland?

I agree with most. Kidd looked like YMCA player last night. Pirgioni can't pass on his open shots. I guess Kidd was out there to play D on Pierce. Pirgioni can't check Pierce. JR can't be John Starks on Friday. Melo can't pound the life of the ball while the shot clock winds down. We have to be prepared to defend their fast break. That is where they are going to try to exploit us.

I mean I don't get it. We played mediocre .500 ball bc there was too much hero ball jump shooting BS and then we start taking it to rack and are on fire. TAKE THE BALL TO THE BUCKET BEFORE IT'S 2 MIN TO GO IN THE 4TH.

If Joey "I always incoporate myself into the game" Crawford is doing the game again I will be seriously concerned. You know Stern wants a game 7 and the refs have been pretty terrible both ways all series. It's pathetic.

I feel like I'm watching the 2004 Yankees all over again.

They've been reporting and he's stated his shoulder is not one hundred percent. He wants to play though. But then, who wouldn't? Hmmmmmm.
A banged up scorer who plays little to no D is not exactly what we need right now.

Suddenly, our bench looks mighty thin.

So are his teammates and team recommending he not play although he may be say 85%.


I don't get this not playing in the playoffs thing. So often you hear when a player isn't quite healthy...."IF THIS WAS THE PLAYOFFS HE'D BE PLAYING BUT WE DECIDED TO REST HIM".....

ummmmmm Melo and J.R. couldn't drop a load in the toilet to make it go splash if they sat on it...... so why isn't Cope playing?


Lin paved the way for this I guess...

As someone who is recovering from a shoulder injury I can empathize. Would like to know what exactly Cope did to his shoulder that would keep him on the bench this long. He can't play much D but his scoring could have opened up the floor for his teammates.

+1 Sig Worthy! Not sure why, but that line just...sings...somehow. The "ummmmm" at the beginning was priceless!
How could you dislike someone who hates Melo, but hates Lin too?

*More ball movement- We made the third quarter run when we were not playing Melo ball, but mixing it up with felton's pick and roll
*More trap defense- It seems that Avery Bradley is slowly being benched, leaving the celtics with Terry or williams at the 1. Trap them more often to force them to turnovers or rushed shots to beat the shot clock
*Communication on D- Many times in Game 5 the pick and roll defense was bad leaving the ball handler open for shots
*Shumpert on Pierce down the stretch- He just plays great D on pierce and provides Offense
*Chandler and Martin- They MUST shut down Garnett in the boards and in scoring. Also I want them to set hard screens whenever they pick and roll with Felton

There is only key. Melo needs to hit shots.

I do not hate Lin but I do hate Melo...thing is I'm not going to defend Lin to the degree it's puts me in a hypocritical state of affairs. Cope should be playing if he's 85%...POINT BLANK PERIOD!

Most rational fans who actually watched the series will get on him for his crap performance if it continues and we lose. The last 2 playoff series were not his fault.
