Doesn't really fit with this new team concept.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648455.post-1155603437253777612006-08-14T19:57:00.000-05:002006-08-14T19:57:00.000-05:00You don't have to worry about Arenas any more.

Here's a question for you - how many shots does it take to score 4 points a game?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648455.post-1155601909388041302006-08-14T19:31:00.000-05:002006-08-14T19:31:00.000-05:00First of all, great blog!

Except that I don't think that rebounding will be an issue if these guys are playing. They just need to teach Howard to go and get it off the rim. And don't forget Brad Miller. All right, he can't rebound. But he is the prototypical European center. While that's not necessarily a compliment, it can work to Team USA's advantage. Miller can't jump, isn't athletic, and can't really run well. But he can pop out and shoot very well. This opens lanes and clears space for the big 3. Very effective. Now just have some of your athletes go get it off the rim, and have the rest break out and run. Should equate to easy wins, especially when you have the 2 best players in the NBA with LeBron and Wade.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648455.post-1155497396292147252006-08-13T14:29:00.000-05:002006-08-13T14:29:00.000-05:00Maybe Arenas has been taking lessons from KobeMaybe Arenas has been taking lessons from KobeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
