    He tried to attack MO but MO kept blocking his shot and Aminu is not that great shot blocker.

    Every team and player has lapses and streaks. Sometimes though, the timing of those is crucial. Sometimes it is irreverent to the outcome. Sometimes it can cause a 3-5 point swing in a matter of moments. If a player shows losing focus and the outcome is irrelivent, he should still be yanked, because its only sa matter of time before it will cost.
    When to stay focused is as much a factor to Defense as anything else and only a team that knows each other very well can afford to do this without consequences because they know the other player will make up for it at the moment. But to get into that standard is very dangerous. Better to NOT think your teammate has your back and just say focused.
    In years past, great teams' coaches yank a player immediately if it seems his focus is waining. I think it led to a better defensive league.

    Is it me our are there far fewer hammer coaches in today's NBA?

    As long as Meyers doesn't step several feet off Adams. Needs to be on him like a fly on shit...no space

    You saw how brutal the Nets were allowed to be on defense. Now the Thunder will be allowed to be more physical than game 3. If some one gets hurt I am going to be pissed.

    He's the alternate, unless something happens to one of the actual 3 refs he won't be a part of the game.
