I really like having your best scorer in the middle of the floor. I see more and more teams doing this. I watched Memphis run a few sets like this too. The Celtics do it with Paul Pierce. Imagine putting LeBron on the high post in the middle? Against a zone you always want to get the ball to the middle, right?

Thanks for stopping, I appreciate you.

The other night I saw Tim Legler do a breakdown of the Mavs’ offensive strategy. He said they like to put Dirk in the center of the court in high post area because it allows him to turn and see where the defense is at, so he is more deadly when a double-team does come. Maybe the Spurs got burned on this in the past? But like you said Terry and Kidd were 5-25, send the double team! Unless, Dallas had some other shooters in the game who were hitting.

Sean, I like Carmelo Anthony a lot. I think his mind-set has changed after a few years in the league and playing with Chauncey Billups (I can tell by his body language) He looks determined. A scoring title would be great but I’d rather see him win a ring.

Thanks for stopping.

FWIW, Carmelo was born in Red Hook, Brooklyn!

Interested in hearing your prediction or current thoughts on Carmelo Anthony and his chances on winning the scoring title this year?

not only Artest pay for that cut, he flew the guy out to LaLa land to barber him up. like the guy but.. i’m gonna leave a response to ur latest blog and just read the next 5 or 6 entries. i think dollar for dollar you might get your moneys worth from that nba league pass. Don’t feel too bad about blowing a 14 point halftime lead until you do it in the playoffs, then feel bad for 6-8 hours. Turnovers caused by full and half court presses need to be corrected as a concept. Other then that, put it behind you, but don’t let your athletes know you left it out with yesterdays newspaper. They need to know you care way more then they do about winning and that it still irks you to the bone to lose. Last, good quote at the end. I’m gonna say something to the people I care about when I think of them. I only have one grandma, couple little neices. So take care finamore, best of Luck.

Bobby, no doubt my man, no doubt. I could never figure out that domestic thing. All I know, is I could never touch a woman in a violent manner. But, I’ll say it again, only a coward strikes a woman.

domestic violence comes in many forms. its an issue nobody can figure out and nobody wants to get involved with. People need to act right. anyway..losing weight, thats admired by everyone i’m down to 210lbs at 6′4 thats not too bad. D’antoni I guess he was right with Gallo. great shooting. He was agressive defensively without fouling out. Best of luck with all.
