|PRATLAW| broadcasts: LJ disappeared in game 4 2011, but had a triple double in game 5. Apparently that was not enough to silence his critics. J Berry hit the nail on the head in post game analysis: Without the ball LJ sits on the perimeter just like our own local huge guard, Joe Johnson and it is clear he doesn't really know what to do without the ball. But let's be fair: How long has it been since LJ played a game without the ball? Maybe 1st or 2nd grade? Don't lay this debacle at the feet of the coach or LJ. It is like having Kobie and Magic on the same team after each has been the guy with the ball their whole life.: [EDIT: Not Magic ~ Magic was a true point guard, probably the best ever - always looking for the open teammate to let them score ... no its more like having Kobie and early Jordan on the same team]. It will take more than a season for them to meld as a team ~ because they prove that basketball is a team game after all.
News flash to all Ralph Sampsons out there: If you are a big CRASH THE BOARDS SON! You cannot be 6'8" and 270lbs and park your ass on the perimeter when you have Flash with the ball - he is going to beat whoever is on him and that means he will not be dishing it back out. You have to take the game to the paint young man. It looks like the lack of physical rebounding and defense makes this Dallas's series to win or lose. Can a point guard well past his prime muster the energy for one last game? I think he can. Will the crowned King of the NBA find a game when he is the second best player on his team: I am sure of it. I look for LJ to be 'on a tear' in 2012.
