Props, he played like he was possessed.

I have to admit that he looked like a real coach last night.

Well, what I want is Teague & JJ. Teague will be the speed factor & JJ will serve as the help defender. Not Marvin, his business is with Deng & Korver.

What are you talking about? The only open man will be Bogans or Brewer. Al will be on Noah, Smoove on Boozer & Marvin on Deng. Al & Josh would be clogging the paint, but not to distant from them cuz they aren't camping in 3 land, they will be looking for offensive rebounds. Al & Josh will get to them quick enough. Rose quickness = lots of charges if we clog the paint. the faster you go the harder to avoid them.No one is triple teaming here. If they use Korver as a 2 with Deng at the 3 then we go 1 on 1.

Who needs a decision maker having iso Joe or iso Jamal on the court? lol!

Because we don't have to guard Bogans. If they put Korver as a 2 guard, then you single cover him, but make sure the lane is clogged. Korver or Deng out, go back to double Rose. We are not going to score as much as we did against the Magic. Rose getting 30 to 40 points will affect us way much more than DH12 scoring 30 or 40. No way in hell you should let that happen.

Just make sure JJ plays the point offensively & Teague defensively. JJ should forget about Bogans & help Teague with Rose. Al & Josh must clog the lane. This will prevent Rose to drive, forcing him to pass or take a contested shot, which in a perfect world will miss most of the time & Josh & Al will be already in good position for offensive rebounds. Teague out, Wilkins in.No way in hell you single cover Rose without Kirk.

Rose is way to fast for JJ & Marvin. He is going to bypass them at will.

Nah, they have some ugly contracts in Childress, Warrick & Frye. They aren't taking any similar contract. And I doubt they will trade Lopez. They have their depth set at the 5 with him at Gortat. It's really hard to have that on this league this days.

only way to trade Marvin is to get nothing in return. Cavs may bite with their TPE.

I think we should run more pays for Al & Marvin.

This wasn't the same Magic team, plain and simple. And the super duper tactic of single cover DH12 to watch the perimeter is not rocket science, it's a bit obvious if you ask me.

Al & Josh to clog the paint. Marvin & Damien on Deng & Korver all the time. Kirk or Teague & JJ double Rose. Leave Bogans alone, his offense is non existent. And finally & most important: We need to run & move the ball a lot. We can't let them set their defense. No isos or half court offense, JJ & Jamal need to stick this in their heads or we will go fishing 4 - 0.

I'm happy for him but, he's supposed to do all that almost every single game, that's what he's been paid to do.

Guys, the reason we won this series was because our shots were falling (specially Jamal's) & the Magic wasn't even half as good as they were the past 2 seasons. LD hasn't done s*** to deserve credit. How is it possible that Jameer makes to consecutive easy layups in crunch time? He got out-coached by Stan Van Dumby. If he doesn't give us at least a 7 game series with Chicago he should go coach somewhere else, if he can.

somebody stop this madness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The home town & his friend cards are so overrated, give me a break!

If he can give us a 7 game series with Chicago I'll give him props.

you loco

Any average basketball fan can come up with that "plan". Don't know why so much credit to our balls-less coach. The day this team stops shooting so much & start working on the paint I'll give him props.

I don't care if LD beats Orlando cuz they aren't as good as they were, that team is weak. It's not the same team that beat us . Adelman is exactly what we need, a run & gun coach for a run & gun capable team. Experienced with a pair to tell the players "my way or the high way".

Where are the haters now? Probably on "Around the NBA" forum watching how JC2 bangs teammates heads with the ball.

1 - No double on DH12 2 - Hinrich on Nelson 3 - Our shots were falling. I hope 3 turns in to a constant or it's over for us.

After watching lots of games after the trade, the mayor culprit of this mess seems to be Drew. He has no authority over no one. Not only Smoove, everybody else is ignoring "the motion offense" & are jacking up shots at will.

Zaza has one of the best non rookie contracts for a big in the league. Teams will die to have him. Lucky us.
