The Princeton offence is structured around sets and familiarity with each other, and was originally devised to make an inferior team talent-wise compete with better teams, so if that's your argument then you have a point. The problem with it is that most people don't even understand what it actually is or what the actual problem with the Lakers is.

And in regards to your other point, Steve Nash is nearly forty. He's in shape but he's not a fastbreak guy anymore anyway. His last few years in Phoenix were more about him handling the ball for 20 seconds, running multiple pnr and finding the best look. You don't think having Dwight and Pau to pnr with and hit at either the high or low post is a good thing? Nash won't score more than 10 a game or have more than 8-10 assists a game, just because of the rest of his team and Kobe. That doesn't mean he's not being featured enough because of the offence, it's because he's smart and realises he doesn't have to use the ball effectively on every play to win games.

Lakers (big blowout without Nash) and Celtics (scraped thru on some late clutch shooting) both off the mark but then again neither Washington or Detroit are really much to worry about. Liking the Magics form also.

North Melbourne Giants vs Geelong Supercats this Sunday at the Glasshouse.

Used to have some Nth Melb Giants gear

Jono · 05-11-2012, 02:34 AM

Melbourne Tigers used to dominate the North Melbourne though.

Another example of a sport where the Tigers are superior than North Mebourne itbt.

benchmark00 · 05-11-2012, 02:36 AM

The Big M sponsored South East Melbourne Magic had a rich rivalry with the Giants.

D Mac used to dominate that ****. Multiple winner of the coveted 'Golden Hands' trophy.

Speaking of the NBL, Jonny Flynn signed with the Tigers today. Big move. He'll destroy it.

Riggins · 05-11-2012, 05:58 AM

yes, the nbl is very ****. but he is also extremely ****. tipping he will do average.

Yeah fair point and I'm probably fantasizing with Nash's abilities. Are they actually doing PnR with him and Pau/Dwight?

Have heard rumors about Lakers looking at D'Antoni as a possible candidate if this doesn't work. WTF?

Crazy start to the season, Melo's playing on the defensive end and OJ Mayo is erupting. Both won't last but still. I'm just hoping the Nuggz can find some rhythm. They're not shooting the ball well at all and Karl isn't going to coach any defence into them.
