Celtics don't have players to play outside focus

boston celtics got players who can shoot but didnt use em much,

but having ray allen, paul pierce and posey isnt that outside focus?

what are you talking about, pierce scores more points than any other celtics and your saying its not outside focus?

break it down to me boy!

He said that big players are only for close shots and for rebounding, and I said D.N. for exc. :))

Did you watch NBA finals? Pierce for most of the time made lay-ups from Garnet's screens. I think that is inside game!

oh oh

my mistake on the boston celtics thing, sincere apologies.

true! layups but comeon who is making em the guards right. we are discussing dominant big men here in bb since developing them some would think is the best since high %'s of getting in.

i mean why would garnett screen the guy ? because his guarded and he cant take the J so he drives with the screen, now if you dont have well skilled guards to finish i dont expect just after the screen there will be no one contesting that shot of his that why we call it help defense.


anyways my mistake :D

another to add to this just because he makes layups means inside game no!

the offense is focus on pierce, and he takes his game from outside and adjust it to inside.

if taking 18 footer jump shots and also creating his mismtaches or chances to score by driving is a inside focus offense, could it be only taking 3 ooints are consider outside focus?

The Chicago Bulls played a motion offense when they won at least three of their six. Unless of course you consider Luc Longley to be a good example of inside game.

luc longley is a jump shooting center, yes he got inside moves but not the likes that can really make him a threat inside.

and of course the motion offense they have let them have enough shots but not as those of pippen and jordan

I think this discussion is prety useless.

How to play you game is depending on both your own and your opponent's team. I realy can't see why inside teams would be dominant over outside teams.

I played inside and outside this season, and I believe I played most of my cup games offensively outside, and managed to reach the finals this thursday. Yet I train inside, and my inside men are my best!

I also strongly believe that with an inside focus last thursday, I would not have won the game! Even though my inside men are the guys I should count on in difficult situations as these. NO! if your opponent has a strong inside team, like my opponent had last thursday, then use this to your advantage! Play outside. Every 3-point shot in 2 attacks can give you 6 points, for which he needs 3 attacks on the inside!

The trick is to have a team as balanced as possible.
With a balanced team, if you get to play a strong inside team, you can win using outside. The other way around, if you face a strong outside team, you can use your inside, but you will have to make up for the extra points he will score in 3-pointers,...

So which would be dominant you'd say??
