I was in 202. I was NOT the DEEEEFENSE LAY DEEEEZ idiot. I was the other
idiot.
Nice game. And a win. And your playoff chances have gone from 1 in 64 to 1
in 16, courtesy of the Charlotte Sting.
They need to send a car for me to go down there and install my zone
offense before the Detroit game. A WNBA team that can't attack a zone is
unacceptable. Particularly since there's no defensive 3-seconds rule. Too
bad it's so late in the season.
Chastity Melvin looks like Adrian Dantley. A little passing added to that
and you have a full-on horror flick. The left baseline has a new name. The
Chastity Belt. That don't mean you can't work it, and/or work with it.
Temeka could hit the long pass in transition more. Even Gilbert "What, me
pass?" Arenas can do that. The WNBA game is 94 feet. Especially when you
have trouble with a zone.
Temeka could also smush more. Smush rhymes with push. In late transition,
don't just pull out right away if there's nothing there. Back somebody
down a little bit before you decide there's nothing there. Smush. The
perimeter back-down is like the midrange jumper. Sam Cassell is the
training film for both.
It looked like you had the best results defensively switching everything
on screen-rolls. Brendan Haywood calls that cheating, but it usually seems
to work, and it was working for the Mystics. Brendan just doesn't like
getting stuck on Iverson. Better that than leave somebody wide open.
Like Becky Hammon. You had some other things that screamingly did not
work. Traps, for example. I harangued Larry Brown about his corny-ass
college traps for a whole season, and that was with Iverson, McKie and
Snow. Haven't seen Larry trap lately.
When the opponent has the ball in the low paint don't wait to see who else
is helping out. Baranova (?) had a pin-down where she had way too long to
get her shot.
There aren't nearly enough cutters. Not enough tracks in the paint.
There could be a lot more shot fakes.
Beard is still thinking highlight films. Let that come to you, 'cause it
surely will. Think clock and distance. The whole team was fortunate from
long distance. Alana did do an exemplary job of pu****ng the ball on one
trip though. Hi-lite film.
Hammon goes right-left about equally from the perimeter, and I'm
impressed, but you have to know to turn a player like that, and/or help
out, when they head for thier seam. Hers is the usual for a right-handed
guard. Same as Iverson, Marbury, Nash, me... I've seen Iverson shoot with
his left once. After I said he had no left. He made it. It still pays to
think about where he's going. The Pistons usually have a nice welcoming
committee for him. There was one in particular where Hammon got fouled
where the potential help was only 3 feet away. There's a couple items
like that with each opponent. Your going to see so-and-so's curl 5 times,
e.g.
