for everyone on this board that thinks nazr sucks (including me) - guy has skills, or else he wouldnt be in the nba. guy can play - just watch him. all the work agguire and company have been putting into sweets needs to do some extra work with naz
we are so worried about our guard oriented attack, but never feed the post and get them going. you've got to establish an inside game to win in the NBA. feed the big men. penetrate and set them up for dunks. we've got penetrators. big men dunk, get an and1 and then get the other players in foul trouble. all of our guys are trying to penetrate and get their own, never making the extra dish...
watch utah, they are pros in the game. the guards get inside and give it to the bigmen to finish and or lob for the flush. we've got nazr who can do that... let sweets get position in the post... i want to see a knick in the post calling the the rock - that's what we need. remember when ewing would post and demand the pill? i never see any players with their back to the basket demanding the orange anymore, deep in the zone.
we've got to get back to that.
Excellent Post. This was exactly what weve been lacking since we lost Ewing. After Ewing was gone we lost what put us so much above all the other teams in the league, we lost what was special, a dominant post scorer. The first 4 plays and last four plays of each quarter should be down low period. You have to begin and end quarters and games down low with a dominant post scorer which gets us either a bucket, to the line, or a open shooter at the three point line. Until we get that kind of player all we're going to be doing is spinning our wheels in the mud, going nowhere fast.
