Default RE:A discussion on nellie's tactics against the lakers

They didn't feel that Fortson was ready to play again after his 3 game suspension. Especially against the Lakers. In the opening minutes Fortson totally blew a defensive rotation and Payton walked right to the basket for a layup. He was gone right after that. Why didn't he play Bradley more? The officials won't let Bradley play. He got a clean block on Shaq and the officials said it was a foul. Maybe they didn't want Bradley getting hurt out there with Malone AND Shaq on the floor too.

Most of the comments are based on disappointment from unrealistic expectations or the most ludicrous notion that you sitting in your barc-o-lounger knows more about how to win basketball games than Nelson.
