    Isn't that, for the most part, how the playoffs play out?

    The mid-post game works just fine in the playoffs. Miami/Dallas/Lakers have shown that. Who was the last NBA champ that went through the low post? The Heat w/Shaq?

    Miami is a bit of a stretch. Allen/Bosh yeah, but James and Wade kind of run that, and they are attacking the rim a ton. I'd actually say they are more of a low paint presence (even without a real center).

    But, I can't talk about basketball. I know nothing about it. :biglaugh:

    I'm right there with ya - Dame has been beyond horrible at driving the ball. I'm torn though, because it's been (up until very recently, when LMA started playing in the paint) the missing ingredient to our offense. So I guess I have to applaud the attempt even if I shake my head at the execution.

    Wait, so LMA should start driving to the rim? Or the guards should? I'm confused.

    Dame loves throwing down on Denver.

    That's an incredible photo of Dame and JJ...JJ looks like he's witnessing something truly frightening!
