Alright folks, here is your open thread for the night. Again, we apologize nobody was here to approve new comments, but one of us will be here tonight. A few things to look for:
- Defending the 3. This seems to be our biggest weakness on defense. Jared Jeffries…let me repeat that Jarred. Jeffries. is making threes on us. He hit 3 last year! As a team the Knicks are hitting 39% of their 3s (23-59) against us and 23% against other opponents (33-142)
- CDR at the 3. For the first time since the move to the 3, CDR will be playing against a quality 3 (Pierce sat out when we played the Cs and Harrington sat out last game against the Knicks). Will he be able to defend a guy who has 50 lbs on him? Will he be able to score on someone taller than him? Will the physical nature of the 3 spot effect CDR’s shooting late in games? All important questions.
- Can we continue to gel? I want to see how the team looks on offense. Are the passes crisp, smooth, and in the right spot?
- The rotation. With 2 games left, we should hopefully see the end of the Bobby Simmons at the 4 experiment and see a more regular rotation…hopefully…
Ok guys, have fun tonight, remember to keep it clean in the comments!
