Slow the pace of the game down, clog up the lanes, etc. Isn't that exactly what I was saying in my previous posts in this thread?? See what happens when we expose the Wizards suspect shooters?? I predicted exactly what was going to happen in this game.
We made them shoot jumpshots. Our perimeter defense deserves credit in this game, we forced their shooters to struggle, not the other way round. This is how we are going to get wins this year. Slow the pace down to a grind, capitalise on turnovers, through our traps and we will get some great wins. Our big men were solid tonight. Once again, they do not need to dominate, just let them play the percentages and make sure that the driving and cutting lanes are blocked. This will force the opposition to shoot jumpshots, which is the weakness in most players games, today.
We do not need anyone to score 30 for us to win, if we slow down the pace of the game. So, where are all the Wizards fans now?? They all said that I was stupid and my ideas of how we were going to win this game were flawed. This was exactly how I said that this game was going to pan out. Don't believe me, read the thread again!!
And to the guy that bashed on our big men, McCoy and Davis have almost 30 rebounds combined in this game. They do not need to have the ball in their hands to be good players. Just let them do their job, which is to defend, guard the lanes and stopping easy layups. It does not matter that they are not big named players, they just need to get the job done. Has anyone seen Stackhouse,Hughes, Jordan and Russell, or are they all missing in action, yet again!!
