Belong to he who will have the guts to take it to the rack this season.
We need our perimeter guys to break it on down from the outside and take it in
Ron Mercer could have , should have been that player - ERob when he was on the court had a strange aversion to taking it in
Why ?
Were we that intimidated by how horrible we were and that we were not going to get any calls from the refs so we accepted our pathetic state and tried to win from the outside
No one wins from the outside . Consistently anyway .
Just ask the Bucks
And the Mavs in 2 or 3 seasons from now .
A key sign of the basketball health of a team , notwithstanding the modern "soft" trend of trying to win from the perimeter and constructing your side accordingly with 6'10 jump shooting wussies , is the aggression that comes out of confidence in putting it on the floor and making the defense play you in a more do or die sense.
That's the one I'm talkin about.
All you need is just one guy to live and breathe the agression in this role by example and it then becomes contagious
Stack gets dissed a lot but even though there are some issues I have with certain aspects of his game , he just comes straight at you and will not back down . He will go the hole all night and consequently he helps his team win because he can burn you at the line. This was one of the key differences that seperated Stack from the player Ron Mercer should have been - and still could be
Jay is a charmer and a darling that has the capacity to woo the refs because he is a Golden Child type. He plays the game and uses authority to his advantage rather than pi$$ing on it and turning it into a zero sum game. He works it.
Because of this and because of his speed and handles - plus the aggression that just oozes out of him he has to be the guy to lead the attack to the hole and set the tone for this team
It is vitally important for the mindset that is trying to be established for this team that this gets entrenched right from day 1 of the new season .
Take it in strong . No prisioners . Make this team a man's team again. No ***** jump shooting namby pamby bunch of imposters that are corrupted by the d*ckless new school of thought on how to play basketball.
Bring the pride back
