Ray that was an exceptional post. It had almost so much information in it that I couldn't digest it all.
It sure answered my question tho. I watched the
Laker game tonight and a few things that I had been
seeing recently were again evident tonight.

Al is sure getting the ball in the post, however I
have two things to mention.  He is positively showing
more offensive moves than ever before. but if he doesn't  air under that hook shot its sooner or later
going to catch up with him. Perk is even worse with
that flat hook that he throws up there. Al also better
start getting the ball on the other side of the lane.
I don't know why it wouldn't be even better for him
because he could swing to his lefthand still using the 
right hand put it up off the board. Oh thats right, we
don't have any player that can put if up off the board.
I must be something in that Waltham practice facility
where they only have the left side of the aboard
available. I don't know if anyone else has noticed but
when the ball goes in to him it doesn't come back out
very often. You'd thin he could give it up and adjust
his position so he could get it back with the defense
having moved a little and make for a better 
opportunity for him. He keeps this up and if thinks 
he has seen doubles now just wait for his second
time around meeting these teams. 

Everyone  seems to think that we have a bunch of
shooters. Well if you rerun any game this season
you will see the opposition making those 10-15
footers at about 70%. Gomes has upped his 
percentage since last year and West is pretty deadly
at that distance but the rest (minus PP and Wally)
aren't to be depended on.

I don't know I feel like writing this post all night, but
I really feel bad for the guys as a team. Like Doc
says the more they lose the heavier the ball gets
when you try to chuck it up there.
