Whooops, in the comments yesterday I attributed this article to Patrick.

Intesting that 7 out his 8 decisions in the first half were good decisions while he only had one good decision in the second half.

1. Defensive adjustments during half time
2. More complicated defenses to read in the second half as the opponent tightens up the defense
3 More aggressive defenses in the second half

In may games it is easier to score in the first half than the second half for a lot of teams because of the 3 items listed below.

It seems like Stuckey still has some work to go in being able to read more complicated/camouflaged defenses.

I thought the conclusions in the article were spot on.

Sorry for the double, rather triple post.

I’m watching the washington-toronto game right now, and I have to say Arenas seems to make just as many bad decisions as Stuckey. The difference is that Arenas is simply a much more talented player, and so he cashes in a lot more on his circus shots.

On a side note, Amir looks really, really good tonight. He looks to have filled in quite a bit since Joe dumped him, perhaps he gave up too early on Amir. For sure he’s been a lot more productive than Won’tcox

Not that anyone else is watching this, but somebody please check out this feed for the PHX/NYK game:

Unbelievable— there is some type of glitch with either where their getting the feed from or the home station, but basically the broadcast doesn’t go to commercial when it’s supposed to… so I just got to listen to the announcers talk about the fine ass NY cheerleaders during their routine and then proceed to make fun of Nate Robinson’s bonehead attempt at the wrong basket from the other day— “haha, D’Antoni says ’that’s bullshit!’ That is bullshit!”

This is fantastic.

Please somebody else get on this shit. It is hilarious. Their monitors are still on while it’s at commercial, so you get to hear their off-air banter. HI-larious.
