Message: [QUOTE="hoopsupstate, post: 4987054, member: 13"] No matter who they put Bell on, he was going to be put in the pick and roll. Bell doesn’t hedge hard enough to force the dribbler to go wider. He switched to zone and they hit a three. It helps when the guy helping the helper would help. Red can only do so much. They didn’t have a problem in the first half. Sometimes you have to realize the other team is getting coached too. How about putting up 88 points against the second best defense in the league. They knocked down TEN threes in the second half. It’s harder to come off guys to help the roller when they are knocking down threes. This game really changed just before the end of the first half when they scored the last nine points of the half. I hate taking guys out because you worry about getting called for a foul. Having Brown and Mintz out for the final two minutes of the half really hurt. That would be my only criticism of Red. [/QUOTE]
