If he lost yet another 20-30lbs, I actually think he could do that
He’s supposedly got down to what, 275? If really worked on his weight and worked on the right workout routine he could get down to 250, be quicker (quick enough), and be stronger than 98% of the players in the league.

Put in your worst player for that position so that he can foul the opposition twice right off the bat.
Somehow, this is a good strategy.

I've just figured out Del Negro's strategy.
He’s trying to show that Sefolosha and Gray are not rotational players at this point in their careers. Maybe he’s proving a point to the fans who irrationally love these guys. Maybe it’s to Paxson.
And, realizing this, I think sue369 is right: Hughes will start when he comes back so that he, and everyone else, can see just how shitty he is. By the time mid-December rolls around, we’ll be down to a solid 8-man rotation.
Of course, Del Negro’s plan blew up when Deng and Thomas didn’t play so hot and got the most heat from the fans.

you can roll
but that doesn’t mean the PG has to give up the ball, especially if it results in a mismatch that works in the PG’s favor. In Rose’s case, he can get by most players

It now has just under 3 minutes total for the entire season.
While Del Negro has had a tendency to start 2nd adn 4th quarters w/ the lineup the ended the 1st & 3rd quarters, I’ll bet a dollar this one doesn’t come back out. Despite the 3 pt lead.

No, what Gordon is doing is
forcing shots when he tries dribble penetrating from that far away from the paint. Especially when he should know the help defender will try to poke it away.

by NormVanBeer on Nov 7, 2008 8:20 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
That was a good drive.
He was able to get Barbosa looking for his jumper which gave him room. It’s when Ben thinks he’s Allen Iverson and just drives no matter what is the problem.

Keep this lineup for the rest of the half.
See what happens. Just for fun.

Derrick Rose is going to be a star. He can really handle his balls.

You do realize that he is playing outstanding defense so far, right?
Actually, you probably don’t.
by tyger1147 on Nov 7, 2008 8:46 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I do realize that
but he’s guarding Grant hill, who is way past his prime
its time for him to start getting to the basket, and stop settling for jumpshots
by darksmokepuncher on Nov 7, 2008 8:48 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
That's true, but Hill's still doing well. Deng's offense is horrible.
But all the other guys are clicking on O. And his defense is more than just D-ing his man. he’s jumping ni passing lanes, rebounding, etc. yes, he needs to play better. I just don’t think he’s doing poor enough all-around, especially considering how the team is doing, that he has to “take a seat”.
I think they get worse as a team if Nocioni comes in gunning and flopping right now.

Deng is having a terrible beginning of the season

He's doing a lot of small things.
He’s playing incredible D. But I guess people don’t notice that unless you’re sweating ball and yelling and flopping like Nocioni.

No tyger, you're wrong
If you’re not sweating perfusely all over people, causing bullshit hacking fouls on D, and making the occasional 3, you’re not doing jack shit.
In other news, Heart, Determination, and Charisma were just added as statistics at basketball-reference.com. Nocioni is #2 right behind Mark Madsen

+ Rose pushing the ball hard
+ Noah ballin’ on those boards
+ TT shot is goin’ down
+ Ball movement
- Those absolutely ugly sneaks Lopez has on
- Terribad Circuit Shitty commercials
- Noc switching roles with zombie Deng
- Aaron Gray

How come Nash and Amare can make the pick and roll work every play ...
… yet we haven’t gotten one pick and roll for Deng to work, ever?
