Malik to start

[jarkid]

This is called - Lawrence Frank.</p>

He needs to go ! Fuck his ass.</p>

If Vince wants to play tonight, why not to put him with Sean Williams ?</p>

Seriously. What's the difference?</p>

</p>

</div></p>

</p>

unstop has nailed it twice. Sean should share the floor with Kidd in order to get the best of BOTH players. I also hope to see him in some pick and rolls with Carter tonight, providing Vince plays.</p>

</p>

</div></p>

What if Williams plays 30 minutes and Allen only plays 15?</p>

I expect that Williams WILL play a lot more minutes, regardless of whether he starts. But I'd like ALL of his minutes to be subsumed within Kidd's minutes because both players are going to be better when they share the floor with the other. Why take a third of Sean's minutes and spread them over Eddie Gill's minutes and miss out on Kidd and Williams continuing to develop chemistry and understanding of one another? Why not put Williams with the players who are apt to get the most out of him, minimize his mistakes, and make the game easier for him? Why not put the best defensive catalyst for the up tempo game (Williams) on the floor at the same time with the best offensive catalyst (Kidd)? The whole of those two is greater than the sum of the parts.</p>

Allen. on the other hand, can clang jumpers and get beaten by opposing 4s on anyone's watch.</p>

Watch out for Kidd-Allen connection. Kidd to Allen alley-oop!</p>

according to one of the beat reporters, this move is to better defend against Portalnd's high pick and roll which they run constantly. Problem is that there needs to be balance; you can't focus on defense to the detriment of offense. basketball is a lot like chess in that your peices must play both an offensive and a defensive role, or there will be weaknesses in your game that will eventually be exploited.</p>

To stop against pick-and-roll defense, starting Collins makes perfect sense. He's very familiar with our pick-and-roll oriented style of play (although he gets the ball on the roll .0000000019% of the time)</p>

But...Malik!?</p>

I think Area 51 is the steal of the draft and will be a beast but IMO he does better as the first big off of the bench. He comes into the game and doesn't just block shots, he destroys them and embarassed players to the point where nobody is commin near the paint. I say start Kidd Carter RJ Magloire and Krsic. I do want Sean to play with Kidd but I would much rather him on the floor with Marcus when he's healthy. Marcus threw a bunch of alley-oops to Boone last year that Boone couldn't even get but I guarentee even if Marcus throws it to the roof Sean will go get it. Marcus Wright RJ SWAT and Nenad or Boonecould be a dangerous future lineup n a damn good second string later in the season if we keep RJ on the floor.</p>

 

[J-HoAgZ]

By the way this is random.. But is it just me or is Nenad the only 7'0 that can't even dunk?? I know he's commin off a bad knee n everythin but if ur 7'0 idc if you don't have a single leg muscle dunk the damn ball</p>

</div></p>

looks like you answered your own question</p>

</p>

 

[J-HoAgZ]

No the question was is he the only 7'0 that cant even dunk the damn ball</p>

 

[GMJ]

But he can dunk the damn ball </p>

He just has a bum knee</p>

 

[J-HoAgZ]

Yea but hes 7'0!! Idc if he broke both legs if ur 7'0 u shud dunk whenever ur around the rim. I can dunk n I'm 6'4 how hard can it be</p>

Good call, Nets get burned by Frye scoring on the pick n roll.</p>

Frank is running a trig honors basketball calculation. He is getting his data, and keeping frontcourt chemistry in good standing. I don't have a problem with this, except that he seems to hold onto this data a bit too tight sometimes. So yes, while I can dig the idea, I just want the win, but I'm afraid of the sometimes wooden aproach Frank can have after he completes his audit of the team.</P>
So no, Frank dosent care who starts and I don't much either as long as we're always searching out solutions. I also can't overlook how it's caused some flat starts with Nenad's minutes and the absence of Carter respectively. I just hate watching games with no pulse and want to see this team start off rolling.

 

[ghoti]

Allen played 14 minutes.</p>

Big deal.</p>
