I'm not worried yet, they didn't have much time to gel in preseason, Howard is still working his way back and they are running a new offense. I would have liked a better defensive effort and fewer offensive rebounds allowed but offensively I think we will be OK eventually.
We shot 12-31 on free throws; that's not gonna happen most games. Even though Dwight is a terrible shooter he's statistically going to hit 7-8 of those rather than 3. If we hit 22 instead of 12 we are right there.
A few bright spots to me were Gasol showing a lot more aggression in this offense + his passing will be a thing of beauty this year. Kobe played extremely well and very efficiently especially with the injury.
Nash however seemed completely neutered. They need to never let Ron Arrest hold the ball for too long or initiate the offense. In the same way Kobe often broke the triangle to run his two man game with Pau or get his shots when things stalled, they need to let Nash just do what he does more often. Don't make things harder or more complicated than they need to be just for the sake of running the offense.
Like I said I think we'll get it figured out; didn't the heat start like 5-5 or 8-5 or something in their first year with the Big 3?

That was frustrating. Good god. :x
I understand the offense needs some time to gel but that is no excuse for piss poor defense. Dallas had easy shots ALL NIGHT.

MWP should not be starting.
Its hard to take this team seriously when you see Mike Brown and his dumbfounded expressions.

howd you get those eld wilt and jerry west pics ot look so HD essential??? picks were sick man!
-i share similar thoughts to a few people in here..i think the halftime assessments were on point last night, specifically from chuck...they should let nash be nash and run the first few secs of the clock...the easy buckets would be amazing!!
-pau gasol showed out last night, took shots that i had confidence in, and passed good....this offense suits him well... so would steve being steve tho..
-kobe was the bright spot...VERY EFFICIENT last night...loved how he picked and chose his spots..
-nash looked out of place...but hes way too good a player to not turn up...no worries there...
didnt like what i saw..would prfer more running/pnr with the princeton mixed in...i aint mad tho, either way the Ws will start coming...i aint got no worries bout the L tho...

this gif perfectly sums up last night's game
anyway onto the next one, not really expecting a lot but hopefully they do better than yesterday. Also, I want to see more Nash.

crazy how this is only one game into the season, you would think we are down 0-2 in the offs' way everyone is going in on this thread
@TNT showing 'Castle' back to back to back tonight
yes I believe the Heat started 10-9, 10-8 2 yrs ago....
either way though, I really agree with the earlier comment about a system that suits our strengths....I was really expecting for MB to play more of a Gregg Williams 'defensive coordinator' role this season and give Nash/Mamba the reins on the O....This guy has never had a clue on offensive side of the ball dating back to CLE, one could argue Steve Blake is a better fit for the Princeton offense than Nash
Saw the article on ESPN where MB is talkin bout Nash saying he has the option to improvise whenever he wants
N please.....the Princeton offense is something you run in the NBA for young guys surrounded by fundamentally sound scrubs and 1-2 veterans
Good point on the radio where dude was saying it reminded him of the Jim Cleamons days when he tried to make a young Kidd run the triangle in DAL

2 actually. 2001, 2002 we finished the first round series in their gym in game 3. We also closed them out in 4 in 1997 and 1998. And of course, 2000 went 7 and we won that one at home.
So yeah, 4 times in about 6 years we ended their season IN the Rose Garden, but for some reason, they only bring up the regular season stuff. Not sure why.

I hate mike brown and his stupid facial expressions with all my heart. The more he continues to sabotage this groups prospects, the thinner the support for him will be. I rarely take joy in an individuals downfall, but I will celebrate the day he is fired. That is all
