Live by the 3 die by the 3 you need to score more points near the basket and make a point of attacking the rim constantly and that will open up your shooters more. They cannot stop our bigs so you establish that early and draw fouls on the other teams bigs so they bench them. AD Lively and Gafford all performed well and formed a nice front to defend the basket from a team that is fully capable of scoring inside. Against MEM you got a challenge but its possible to win and get by them so lets focus on them and figure out how to win that game.
Memphis needs Ja to win and he is coming off an ankle issue that could slow him down. They have more bigs than we have so we will be forced to play big and avoid small ball. You hear me Kidd? Exum starting at PG might be an advantage since he did not miss a single shot against the Kings and if someone helps PJ to get an open shot early in the game then we should see a better performance from him. Continuing to shoot our free throws well is key to winning a close game and if we cannot win it big like we did against the kings the free throw shooting will be something we need to focus on.
