Re: Fouls

["Lance Jacobson" <lancejacob@xxxxxxxxx>]

Not sure where you're coming from here, Dan.  I'm not blaming any refs, I'm
blaming Baker, Sundov and Wookie for having the inability to stop a guy in
front of them without a foul.  It's NBA Man defense, for the most part.
Reaching in after a guy's gone by isn't the answer to beating the Nets.

I think we'll get better at the zone, though.  I mean, we're bringing in
four guys for significant minutes that didn't play in the NBA last year,
including Sundov, who was overseas in Indianapolis.  Baker may just be
trying too hard too soon, but he sure doesn't get the best position with his
feet.
