1st time props for MB having a offensive scheme

[RchfldCavRaised]

Although he is once again making Boobie into a pedestrian and playing IRA NEWBLE for no reason, it is clear that this team came out with a clear cut plan on offense. Attack inside and hit the boards against PHX

 

[Hurl Bruce]

Not in the first quarter. Brown came out running high pick and pops with Lebron and Z so Z could get some nifty 18 foot jumpers. It took him too long to figure out that Z is tall and Gooden is tall and the Suns are not.

Ira seems a decent hustle matchup on Marion and Diaw. Drew and Z would struggle to stick with these guys.

Where was Devin Brown though?

That was an offense we had in the second half? All I saw us trying to jack jumpers to match the Suns. Uggh that was ugly: why did we have Gooden outside shooting jumpers?

Where was Devin Brown though?

Was just thinking that. He should be taking most of Damon's and generally all of Ira's. Newble was good for a few minutes, but that shit aint gonna last. Oh well.

 

[B Mac]

Hell he should have taken all of Larry's minutes as well. Just didnt make sense unless we were really trying to showcase Newble tonight. Hmm...

 

[redscoon]

Whoops, spoke too soon.

 

[Pioneer10]

That was just ugly in the second half. Hughes awful as usual, Sasha looking real rusty (not unexpected), Newble.

Couple of things regarding Mike Brown. Good 1st half but after halftime, I mean not even trying Gooden downlow in the post against Grant Hill?

Also I love we're getting the ball to Lebron down in the block or at least trying. My advice would have Gibson be the inbounder rather then Hughes. Hughes doesn't stretch the D and his defender ends up crowding the passing lane in towards James

Phoenix adjusted, Cavs did not.

 

[Karma]

Adjusted....or persisted???

We certainly didn't persist with what was working.
