Love your work. You should be working for a big market blog. Your work would be greatly appreciated. ESPN / TrueHoop should kick that dude who does the ‘By the Horns’ blog and let you take over.

“Delivering the ball, I have to be way sharper,” Rose said. “The bigs have to be in the right spot. They were hitting and coming to double-team me randomly. It wasn’t a coach call or anything. They were just coming out. It surprised us. If anything, they’re going to hit more often and be aggressive at home. We’ll be prepared for it.

If you watch the video on Korver`s shot Jeff Foster turns and says something to Tyler, who then goes to trap. He was way too tentative, but if the coach is allowing players on the court to make that type of decision I think it could pay off in the long run. I think I like it.
