I really want to see Nic get more aggressive and look for his shot more. The #1 option is out and Dame can't do it by himself. This is (another) perfect opportunity for Nic to really step up and become one of the leaders of this team.
Robinson will get half of them (assuming he can stay on the court), and I expect Wright will see a lot more minutes and shots as well.
Nic and Wesley both need to shoot more - and not just from outside. Both can get good looks from 10' and in.
Tonight, Lillard. With no Parker in there(not that he's a great defender), would love to see him just go off for 50 on Patty and Corey.
it would be cool to see him gun for the franchise record. With him coming off his AS weekend debut it would be the perfect time to really grab everyones attention
I hope to see a ton more Batum pick and rolls, Rolo post ups and Lillard going HAM. I want a lot more CJ with the starters too!
Lillard first and foremost needs to step up and hit his shots. Then Batum needs to increase his shooting numbers, outside and inside. Also Wes needs to get open and get his. With LaMarcus out, those three are going to have to really work at moving and at moving the ball. Pops is not just going to leave them open. So there is going to have to be a heavy dose of Batman to Robin pick and rolls. Wright and TRob, when they are in, are going to have to be ready, willing and able to look for shooters and kick the ball out. Easy peasy.
I just hope Mo doesn't try to go "HAM". If he does and does well, someone will want me to eat those words. But the odds are not in his favor, so I hope he doesn't even try it.
