Monty likes to have the backside wing creep up to the post and play help defense in the post. From what I gather, the Wings also play off to slow penetration. We have too many personnel issues to make his defense effective.

Namely it calls for players to be heady and not so reactive. Aminu is neither.

Thank god we can ditch Sideshow Bob after this year... People watching the box score, not the game, dont give me the "he has 18 and 10 " bs.

He is 7 foot, he cannot score close to the rim. 3 of 14, been blocked 7 times; great

Please tell me you're kidding.

[Razorpens]

Growing pains.......get use to it folks.

yeh get austin in the thing and create shots

[carpo_07]

despite that 3, whenever mason has been in the game our offense has been even worse than it usually is

[GPT Pelican]

Amino is a bench player that is being forced to start out of necessity. We need to replace him this year

[Ryno_33 NOLA]

Please tell me you're kidding.

I wish I was. But no, I am not, he is pathetically soft

Okay. At what point do you tell your wing, "don't leave xxxxxx, he's too hot right now". Very simple adjustment to make.

[Alg_Hornet]

Freaking terrible

[Eman5805]

Sitting Anderson?

[The JNR]

Lopez is our Kobe Bryant tonight ... Just throw it to him and he will bail us out

It's basically picking your poison at this point. Either we get torched in the post or give up shots behind the arc. This team without Davis and Gordon is an ugly composition.

I've noticed that DDub REALLY likes to tell us how many possessions we are behind.

As many 3s as they give up, we're talking about giving up about 10 to 15 less points. I'd say the Hornets post defense is better. 2 is better than 3.

[Eman5805]

Seems our team is very much built to rely on Gordon and Davis on both ends of the court. Davis is great in help D, so it'd keep our defenders from cheating down so much. Gordon's a great defender as well.

Without either, really forces guys to do things they aren't suited to.

No matter. Keep pluggin'. Just wish Rivers was out there. He needs all the minutes he can get.

[Shelbywmccarty]

Let miller shoot the 3

Is Rivers injured?

Right .. I will take my chances with our big men playing D straight up then sit there and let them shot 3 pointers

[Shelbywmccarty]

Cause our current strat obviously isn't working

[Razorpens]

Is Rivers injured?

H*ll naw, coach just want to put a veteran in. It isn't like will make the playoffs. We need our rookies to learn in this type of situation ughhhh

[PelicanFever]

i put some blame on monty...i am tired of him not being able to make adjustments...hibbert is blocking lopez all game long and we keep going to him and it led to fastbreak baskets on the other end...i am tired of not guarding the 3 pt line at all...i am tired of being down by 6 and you need 3 pt shooters in and he makes no substitutions and we dont even go for a 3 anyways to give yourselves even a chance...and this is becoming a trend

[PelicanFever]

Please tell me you're kidding.

lopez is not a starting center in this league..as a backup he would be fine..put i dont want him to get anymore than 15 min a game

[Pelicans78]

Yeah, the coaching staff didn't do the team any favors. Couldn't figure out Indiana's ball rotation.
