Having spent a good part of his career and now living there, it's pretty much a given that Charles will short change the Blazers throughout the series... I'd definitely take issue here as I'm more a play the game the right way advocate then star player should take it upon themselves to force the issue type. That means shoot the ball when open or have the advantage, pass out of doubleteams, etc... of course Chuck is the one with all the championship rings Though he didn't shoot a high percentage, I thought for the most part LA made the right plays last night. Hopefully his 18' is on from here on out as they were giving him that look... no doubt that he can post up either Frye or Amare STOMP
I was satisfied with Aldridge because Nowitzki did no better, so Aldridge canceled out a player more crucial than himself. Similary, Batum did about as well as Frye, so the same. Miller did as well as Nash, same comment. No Sun canceled out Camby, so he was the difference. As long as our players each cancel out their supposedly superior equivalents on the other team, we can overcome their supposedly superior team as a whole.
Hours after that post, I'm perusing PERS in the thread about playoff PERS and I see Nowitzki's and I think---aagghh!! I said Nowitzki instead of Stoudamire!! I bet they've all made fun of me. So I rush back here and only you commented, and you didn't even get sarcastic! Thanks!
The funny thing is, LMA had a sub-par game. I love the fact he's playing more on the block, but most games he's hitting that 18 ft J. If that starts falling, Phoenix is in trouble, because he can take Frye off the dribble.
He missed several shots that he can definitely hit. He also could have got a couple more calls in the post; Frye got away with a bit more bumping than I would expect he will moving forward. Ed O.
