Default RE:bring on the pick and roll

I agree with Willis.

Its not as effective with Jamison and Walker. You take the ball out of the hands of your two best offensive players (I think Nash ties with Findog for 2nd) and put it into the hands of your 4th and 5th. Whether it ended in a jumpshot or not the Dirk/Nash pick n' roll was deadly last season and it did often end with layups. It probably cause more havoc for other teams than any other play outside of throwing thr ball to Shaq. There were very few turnovers. Dirk's man was normally at a disadvantage giving Dirk a wie open lane to the goal or jumper. MOst teams concentrated on stopping that and brought an extra man over which left Nash with a lane open and a chance to score or dish the ball and finley with an open three or driving lane. Your best three scorers were all in a perfect position to score.

I think Nellie gets so caught up with his new toys that he forgets about his best ones who have this team where it is anyway.
