^Our scheme has changed in the last few games to giving Drew help when he leaves in order to prevent the fiascos that happened with Muhammad and Dalembert.
Drew no longer has to be the "fall guy" when Muhammed and Dalembert score 21-7 and 24-10 off of dribble penetration by our guards.

Opposing teams have thoroughly scouted Pau and the Lakers - obviously. With Pau missing FTs, his mid-range game is presently non-existent, missing "gimmes" at the basket and not dunking the ball when he has a chance (instead he is making soft shots) - he is becoming a "one-trick" pony type of player that is not proivded any room/passing angles with the word being that if you ruffle his hair, he will disappear. |
This is why I'm kinda irked when Pau makes comments about touches. What good are they if you're not effective with them? His game is basically weak post ups. No face up, no 15 footer. Go to youtube and watch videos from last year's Finals. Pau was ballin! |
Agreed - when defenders crowd him, he is missing shots. It appears that his hamstrings - the lynchpin to his ability to power-up his shots - are still bothering him. |

I don't think it was a change in PJ's defensive schemes, it was him getting on people's BUTTS to do the proper rotation of "helping the helper." With 2-3 7'footers on the floor, why has it been so easy to drive to the paint with no fear. Why is LO giving "touch" fouls to DHoward. |

Because our PG's allow their man to get past them before their man even arrives to meet our bigs.
"Helping the helper" is currently a new idea. An idea that Phil has never implored his team to do even back in the 3-peat days. That's why Shaq never came out to help Fish. He knew his man would get a dunk if he did.
Our scheme has been for bigs to come out and help and recover, and guards to stay attached up top.

Can we give the fan in the front row some props for tipping that ball away from Calderon? That guy played better D than Farmar. |
He's on the homepage of Yahoo right now. |
