When I was growing up playing the coaches always told me to follow my shot. Our woeful offensive rebounding would be much better, if we had a coach that would instill that philosophy into our players. I can count on one hand the times I have seen a Pacer follow their shot this year. Instead, these guys stand there like they are in an art gallery admiring their shot like it was a Monet or they are breaking down the floor having given up all hope of gaining possesion of the ball. Other players on the squad can move back for defense but the shooter should move to the basket. He knows more than anyone else on the court if the shot is short or long. And for Pete’s sake, when on defense do not let up until the ball is secured. Know who is around you and put a body on them. This so fundemental, yet through this first quarter of the season this team exhibits these pitfalls every game.

I have been critical of #0 all season. Hopefully the return of Nembhard helps him. I have always been a fan of Bryant and he was terrific in Washington and very effective in LA. Hopefully he gets an opportunity to succeed here. The Pacers have some interesting personnel decisions coming up.
