They changed Calderon's shot to a three (it clearly was...saying it was a 2 was a bad call). So it's all tied up.
Why has Harris stopped trying to drive to the basket? I counted just three drives by him tonight. Where's the guy who led the league in free throw attempts per game? His defense on Calderon and Ukic was horrible too. And VC needs to start driving as well instead of settling for those jumpers. Luckily for the Nets, Hassell and Anderson are keeping this game up for grabs.
The Nets can't come out slow in the second half. They did a great job to get back into the game, gotta keep it going.
The Raptors are totally clogging up the paint to stop Vince and Harris. They did it against Chris Paul as well but Paul found shooters on the perimeter. When Vince and Harris go into the paint and the Raptors collapse on them they have to kick it out to shooters for the 3 because it will be there. Shooters have to be ready to shoot.
The problem is that they have barely been driving. Without their drives the offense is useless. Our jumpers have come as a result of ball movement around the perimeter instead of drives and kicks.
If the Raptors are able to open a up a nice lead heading into the 4th then they will most likely cruise to a blow out win. The Nets can't let this game get out of hand in the 3rd.
They have to adjust their thinking for the drive and kick because its almost a guarantee the Raptors will totally collapse the paint leaving shooters open. It's on Vince and Harris now to make that adjustment and for the shooters to be ready to their shot.
