There we go, play more physical get some intensity and stuff it into the old wind bags that are the mavs.
I think most of our point have been in the paint. They need to get back to what they were doing before the refs got into their head.
I think Nate is trying to get our bench going. He realizes that Rudy and Jerryd are sucking ass. He needs them to find some sort of rhythm before the playoffs.
Has anyone noticed that LaMarcus has turned up his shotblocking these past few games? What got into him? Is Camby giving him pointers or something?
When we were deeper, Nate went with an entire second unit at the top of the 2nd. But since our bench is weaker, Nate makes sure Roy or Aldridge are on the floor at all times. In this case, Aldridge is that guy. Fear not, the other starters will get their burn. But we need help from the bench especially since we don't want to burn ourselves out going into the playoffs. Players like Kobe and LeBron are already resting up for the playoffs. The Celtics have been resting since December.
Win or lose, I think its good for the Blazers to face this type of physical game before the playoffs.
I'm all for getting them going, but I don't think we can afford to be without either Brandon or Andre in the game at this point in the season.
