NBA Game Thread 2/29: 3pt champ vs Black Mamba - Page 2 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

what does amare bricking jumpers have to do with lin getting doubled+trapped and being unable to hit the open man out of it and/or turning the ball over?

they can just leave Amare open and double team Lin (also Amare's screens are lol as stated above)

Lin needs to attack and Amare needs time on the bench.

Lin/Fields/Smif/Melo/Chandler has to be their best lineup amirite?

would rather rotate Jeffries/Jorts/Novak at the 4 and have Melo play the 3

Minnesota +6. If you happened to miss the game last night ninny discovered they had some real talent on their bench. Wouldn't be surprised if they started Beasley. Barea is a beast!

Alternatively,

Lin/Smith/Melo/Novak/Chandler for maximum scoring power.

Lin/Melo/Chandler and the rest depends on who you're playing.

Fields >> Shumpert in a vacuum but there are a bunch of guys you need shumpert out there for defense on

Better shooter, better defender and better at attacking the rim. Only problem with Shumpert is his brain and blackholishness, which he seems to keep in check when Lin's directing traffic.

PS: and it's dumb to do the all JV squad thing. We need to mix and match... not try to field two different teams.

Right, Field's much smarter but Shumpert is otherwise superior.

Too much energy at the FT line tho

JR is a pretty good rebounder for his position. It sucks that he's not playing with Chandler because the two would fit really well.

d'antoni's rotation is really weird bc he is sitting the first team together and going with a full on second team. When it was just melo and amare he would stagger them a lot more.

I think it is so that Lin/Melo/Amare/chandler get max minutes together since they are learning to play w eachother in the fly
