Title: Re: How to beat the Lakers

    Run,run,run.
    Pitino had the right idea. Take 9-11 players who can run all day, defend like madmen all over the court and hit close to 40% from the three point stripe when the break isn't there.
    He could never find the players to compliment that system. They just wouldn't run like he wanted them to, except, perhaps, the first 14 games of Kenny Anderson's 1st season, before he got hurt.
    No big center(Shaq)can keep up that pace. 
    Knock Pitino as you will, but he had the right formula, just the wrong era. He wanted players like Havlicek,Cowens,Tom Sanders, Russell,Cousy, etc.....
