Enlightened you shall be... http://articles.latimes.com/2007/jan/25/sports/sp-lakerep25 You can clearly see now why we are so disappointed, especially me.
Was anyone else pissed at Radman for not posting up Ben Gordon and backing him all the way down for easy baskets? He was taking step back low percentage fadeaways.
Come to think of it, none of our small forwards can play back to the basket effectively. Ariza - slasher Odom - slasher Radman - shooter We cannot allow teams to guard our small forward with their undersize SG and not punish them in the post. I wonder if Bonzi Wells is in game shape. He's a handful in the post.
He's a professional basketball player it's absolutely part of his game. He doesn't have to be Kevin McHale with his footwork, but simply backing Gordon into the paint and shooting over him isn't hard to do. He just settled for lazy fadeaways instead and shyed away from contact.
Whether it be his type of play or not...if you're 6'10", and the person guarding you is 6'2"...logic says go to the post.
