Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 3770126, member: 8636"] Certainly could be spun that way, no doubt about it. I'm talking more about defensive philosophy. The stuff coaches talk about on the first day of practice. Game planning is different. I would make a different argument, that ball reversal is priority 1 for a defense. Worse than getting beat off the dribble. Got help for that occurrence. Obviously the defense rotates as the ball is reversed but all 5 defenders have to adjust at the same time, even if it just means turning your head. Good O takes advantage of that. So, you're assuming that Geno game planned for Lowell to have open 3's for virtually the whole game. That the shooting percentage was a result of the defense and the game plan. Ok, go for it! Personally I lean toward really bad shooting. [/QUOTE]
