Three things are killing us

["Enrile, Roy" <renrile@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The 3 things that will kill us this series are Antoine's misses leading
to breaks, Lack of Kenny Anderson at the end of shotclock, and the
famous Obie/Harter defense being faulty against a Princeton halfcourt
offense(it's not just the fastbreaks).

1.  If Antoine could shoot above 45% like the last series, the Celts
would have won going way.  Every drive and miss last night, turned into
a fastbreak the other way (I rewatched to make sure).  He needs to
sacrifice for the team and concentrate on creating and rebounding.  Only
take shots when Martin is not on him.

2.  Delk is shaky at entry passing and is lost when receiving the ball
in midrange territory.  Kenny would hit the shot, and would be taking
some distribution pressure off of Paul right now.  When the 24 sec clock
is low and the offense breaks down, they're missing Kenny's creativity.
Tony played good halfcourt D on Kidd though.

3.  The Celtic auto-swarm strategy works against most teams (especially
post up and 1on1 offenses), but is fundamentally faulty against the
Nets.  Obie/Harter are being stubborn and we're playing right into their
hands.  Just like last year, the Nets make fake drives to the paint not
even looking at the basket, then hit the cutter or jumpshooter for
effortless scoring.
    Don't triple team scrubs like Aaron Williams & Collins just because
the strategy says "React hard to everything in the paint".  It leads to
open shots and dunks for the true scorers.  I HATE that even when Kidd
is out, Aaron and Lucious kill our team, when that doesn't happen to the
rest of the league.  It's the fault of our semi-zone.
    Try some man to man.  Force Kidd and Harris(their best isolation
players since the starting swingmen aren't McGrady types), to take the
scoring load. The games won't be close.
