Kidd turned back the clock We were getting roasted by Goomba...glad Orlando did us a favor and took him out the game
ORL plays teams tough but no cigar. 5 of their 8 losses on their losing streak by 4 points or less...they get a few of those and their season is completely turned around
Big Baby would've made a difference. However, they probably play different when he's there. They run a different kind of offense without him
>they play hard as fuck, and they came out cooking. > >Melo. 40. >Camby w/ the Hi-Lo passing. >Stat is just a matter of time before he gets his legs under >him. STAT is coming...getting back little by little
>good road win. Solid win indeed. I'll tell you this, Felton is really showing why he's needed for this team. As good as Kidd & Priggie have been, Felton can at least keep those type of guards in front of him

if it's not happening, dribble penetrate and find guys. between stat, shump, melo, novak, smith, and tyson lobs, there's no need for ray to shoot more than 20 shots unless he's unconscious.
and if they go felton/kidd/shumpert, there should be enough hands in the passing lane defense to offense fast breaks that'll get the easy buckets they struggled to get felton's last 10 games or so.
26. "He's top 3 if not the best finishing guard at the rim" In response to Reply # 12
>Hell he might be top 3 in the whole NBA. Dude has sick body control and always finishes at the rim after contact. Itll be a play where if its Jeremy Lin I'm just happy he's getting a call and getting to the line to get 2 shots. Kyrie finds a way to hang, get to the line, and make the shot. Its not like a one time thing, it happens multiple times a game. Then there's that pull up jumpshot thats just wet. Part of the challenge with having that talent will be to be a team player/winner.
His passing and vision isnt as bad as some people on here want to act like. He finds guys fine. Sometimes he goes into hero mode, and its understandable considering his teamates, but hero ball is also a hard habit to break out of even when you do start getting teamates.
The defensive criticism again isnt really warranted. The amount of pick and roll ball played in the league these days gusy dont get beat 1 on 1 AT LEAST 50% of the time. You get caught on a screen. Theres things Kyrie and Jeremy can do to read screens better, but overall its about help principles and team defense.
Tonight for Jeremy was one of those games that didnt look bad if you bobby'd the game but he really only played well in that 2nd qtr, and that was because he hit his jumpshot. He still has to go harder to the rim and take the layup.

23. "which play was this?" In response to Reply # 18
I was watching in line at the airport (flight now delayed til 1030) but I saw a play where Kyrie pump faked, gave a little forearm, Lin crowded him and got called for the foul on the jumpshot.
Im guessing this wasnt that play?

>They paid for their immaturity tonight.
Foh with that holier than though shit. Clippers do the same kinda clowning on the bench. Tonight's gstate loss wasn't surprising in woulda been more surprised if they beat the clippers twice in one week after spanking their shit.

They won the chip after every win. The two Clipper losses to them weren't surprising either, the first one was a night after they played the Lakers and the 2nd was in GS after playing the nuggets in Denver the night before.
