Full Court Press

[ATLSmith]

I only watched the first half of the game last night, but it seemed that the Lakers went to the full court press quite often.

I would have to assume that Phil Jackson made this call because we had in Bibby, a point guard who wasn't familiar with our offence, and in Acie, a rooky point guard who could be easily distracted.

I've only seen Woodsen run the full court press once this year. I believe that Mario West was in at the time and the press actually forced a turnover.

So, why don't the Hawks run the press more often?

PS Please refrain from just saying "Because Woody sucks!!" At least put some thought behind it.

Dude, you got a 20 year brain freeze.

That press was great. On one sequence Kurt Rambis stripped Bibby and fed Worthy for a vicious dunk over Marv.

edit: no fair editing your post, I know it said Pat Riley

You've got me there. Edited the original post.

There had to be something personal. They were in full court press up by thirty in the first half. I never saw that before. Nolan Richardson would not have done that.

Phil will be humbled for that.

definitely, i was pretty pissed off about that. PJ was probably just pissed off about losing to THE HAWKS the meeting before that.
