deja vu

[gene kirkpatrick]

Well, I saw most of the game, and I think we already know the problems this team will/can have.  Primarily, it's Doc's inability or unwillingness to force an 8 or 9 man team rather than let 3 men dictate the play.  There's something quite unsettling about all the hoopla surrounding "the three."  If they rely only on themselves, we have a team problem (in the locker room and on the court).  Paul seems to have the most ingrained of bad habits with trying to take over.

And, yet, I'm not worried about their ability to make it work.  I thought they missed Perk terribly against the bulk of the Knicks.  It was the perfect opportunity to play Davis (but even I admit he's not ready).  They were understandably overconfident.  Doc didn't diversify his lineup; 39 minutes for the three was too much to allow the bench to get into a flow.  Lots of problems that can be corrected; I expect the leadership on the floor to do so.
