I was watching the Suns and the Grizz last night, and I was continually surprised at Memphis' continuous willingness to double team or cheat over on whoever had the ball, allowing wide open jump shooters. I swear they weren't within ten feet of any of the shooters and had three or four guys chasing Steve Nash into the paint on every play. Do these guys realize who they are playing?
I can understand making a decision to double a good post player, but when you are playing against the best three-point shooting team in the league, don't you try to stay at home? How many layups can they shoot? The only reason it bugs me is because Memphis actually had a chance to stay close in that game if they would have presented the slightest challenge to the shooters.
