Post up Curry...
Amin Elhassan even recently stated if Pop coached the Thunder they'd be better than the WarriorsVoulgaris just ting all over Presti and the Thunder for putting no one around Westbrook and Durant and hoping they both walk
Post up Curry...
Haralabob has a huge hard on for Boban... So I bet his adjustment is going extra big
I thought the same with Miller if we switch everything anyways, it's not like Dre will guard Curry one on one a lot. And I would love to see Curry posted up. Exhaust those legs. He rests on defense guarding Danny too much. I didn't think the Spurs sought to attack him in any of the games except one post up where the refs incorrectly called a foul on Kawhi.LoL, Patty/Porker couldn't hit the broadside of the barn against the Worriers. Might as well play Kyle/Dre & post up Klay/Curry.
The 2 PG lineup Pop we may try is not the Patty/Mills terrible lineup that got eaten alive on defense, but maybe Andre/Tony. Andre/Manu or any variation with Kyle. We can't let Curry have it so easy defensively.
Knowing this, I asked awhile back, does Pop owe it to Kawhi and Lamarcus to play the players that have the best chance to win a series and stop with his 'loyalty, wouldn't be fair' bs? How much longer is he gonna ride with Tony and Manu in a series if they clearly are hurting the teams chance win that series?
Kawhi is the new face and LMA sacrificed personal stats to come here and help this team win. If he goes down with the ship again without even trying other options, how is that fair to those guys?
Their adjustment was to drive to the basket. Since 2<3 at least for Curry you live with that. It reduced the number of 3 pt shots and their offensive potency was been reduced. Problem is on our offensive side.
Also, there was no way to hide their hand in that respect bc that defensive scheme is too novel for Pop to try out and surprise them without players getting reps.
Without trying it ahead of time, he could have suspected Tim wasn't going to do well, but just discovering that cost us one regular season game. It could have been a,play-off game. Also, Anderson was a big part if it too and he needed the experience. And a scheme like that requires the entire team working in unison and communicating. It wasn't going to work w/o repe ion.
Everyone (media) always talks about pop adjustments. He doesn't know how to make in-game adjustments. The only adjustment he every makes is starting a different player first every now and then. He's like like Ryan Reynolds in Chaos Theory. He has his little note cards and doesn't deviate from them.
He'll have a plan going into GS, if we get there, but I look forward to seeing how he adjusts when they adjust.
I do hope this is that season we will see adjustments bc Timmy has come off the bench to win a game he cared about. You can't argue with Pop when you see that. I think Manu will need to have a good series. Kmart is terrible and not a good subs ution. We need Danny to play well again for the same reason. We will probably play very perimeter against them unless Pop busts out a Boban LMA duo. Tim is unable to punish small lineups at this point. The big s you play have to score inside with a bunch if smallish swarming him like we have seen Boban do.
Lets not get ahead if ourselves, we need to get past OKC first.
If Warriors play Bogut, Tim will be able to stay in the game. If Bogut is out and it's the Warriors small ball lineup, then Diaw would replace Tim. Either way, it's pretty evident that Pop has been hiding both those players from the regular season games. At this point, it's anybody's guess what will happen come playoffs time.
That's not at all what I was saying.
(Hack Green and Iguodala)
Actually, I know a way to beat the Warriors. You have to flustrate Dirtyman Green. We worked on him in the last two games and got a technical early. Then stopped. LMA has to shoot over him and make shots. If he bodies up on LMA, then he will get fouls called. But we have to push his button till he breaks with the ref. And we have to do it early.
I don't do Itunes. They want you to put all that BS software on your computer for no good reason.
I know what you were saying. I'm just pointing out the last part from my point of view.
What's with the focus on "possible" games we ain't even scheduled to play yet?
Long way to go yet. One game at a time
Andre Miller.
Patty is a defender just like Tony and was getting his pushed in by Austin " ing" Rivers, people. For every basket Patty scored, he turned around and gave up more (And - 1, constant blocking fouls) to the opposing backup PG. He was doing his best imitation of a 6' Gary Neal, TBH.
If anything, Pop should have said " you" to both of them and rode with CoJo. Although, we would have been a 2nd round team with him starting at PG.
Patty gave us points you stupid . Austin Rivers probably won a game but Porker was playing well below Patty on Offense and defense you stupid . He was statistically by impact and production the worst ing player in the playoffs. Patty taking those extra minutes would have won us the series got.
This isn't up to debate you stupid .
This is exactly what I was thinking last year. Pop doesn't care if they win or lose anymore. He got his 5 rings, cemented his legacy and now he is going down with the ship no matter how Parker plays. Isn't it obvious Pop didn't go "all out to win" when he allowed Manu and Parker to play so many minutes against the Clippers in last year's playoffs. Everyone and their mother saw this last year, Parker and Manu were horrible in that series. Belinelli and Mills should've played more but Pop chose loyalty over winning. He is doing the same this season. When the espn announcing crew i.e. Mark Jackson and JVG are questioning why Pop keeps Parker in late in 4th quarters, you know Pop has gone soft. He used up all his energy in parker's early career yelling at him in games and during film session that he won't call him out anymore. It all shifted to Danny Green lol
Robert Horry talked about the spurs on Lakers: Access Sportsnet recently and he said Pop never really liked Parker's game in the beginning but kept him and molded him to play in the spurs system.
Where does Haralabos say all of this stuff anyway? Was this on twitter or the Bill Simmons pod?
Bill Simmons pod
I would think it's something offensively.
There isn't one cure defensively and in periods we've done as well as we can hope for.
I do hope we put Curry in the screen meatgrinder like we used to do when we used to beat them all the time but is that even possible with this new offense compared to all the ball movement and motion back then and on top of that the miserable state of Porker.
No one is "debating" Parker's piss poor performance you ing . The point is that Joseph should have been given the Reigns at least for that playoffs especially since Patty was coming off injury. Joseph had the size, athleticism and defense needed to make Paul work on defense.This isn't up to debate you stupid .
Somehow, you ing morons try to make everything a debate even when it is something as clear as how ty Tony was last post season. I like Mills a lot but you or I liking him ain't gonna make him taller, more athletic, a better defender or an actual playmaker.
I'll let you continue on screaming at your computer screen, though, since clearly it is the only thing you new age, vanilla "player" fans are good at.
You thrown a the advanced statistics and horse you can dig up but never any context for them. How about giving us Patty's advanced statistics, his assist to turnover ratio or his assist percentage from last season/postseason?
