Now that the gizmo known as the Princeton offense is over, its showing the players are playing their game now. The pick and roll is a style that the players do learn easier.
The big question for the rest of the season will be the bench, the starters will always get their points. The reserves need to do their job and put some points up when Kobe is on the bench during the second and fourth quarters. I like Jordan Hill off tne bench, hes found a role on this team that hes suited for, Darious Morris has improved this season, the bench is fine in terms of players, they just need to play well if this team is not to be a second round exit again.
Than theres defense, D'antoni has never been known to coach up defense, but it played well in the second half against the Nets, see how they play from this pount on. The thing he has this time that he never had in PHX or NY is a team thats more commited to playing defense, if the team plays up to its skill on D, esp Kobe, MWP and Dwight Howard, they should be okay over time. How things will actually go as games go by remains to be seen.
...I feel ya pain, but cheer up LS, Toronto actually has a decent team !!! As a Washingtonian, I'm forced to support the Wizards (0-5), and we're so bad that everytime we win a game they get hats and t-shirts printed up to celebrate like we just won the NBA championship :1orglaugh....
