GO JAZZ! STICK IT TO EM'!
Never thought in a million years I would say this, but come on Denver....win a game!!!
Gifted scorer, likes to get into a rythm, very good finnisher around the basket. Does not respond well to pressure, get physical with him to get him out of his rythm, force him away from the basket.
I thought it was hysterical when Harpring was guarding him. He was bumping, grabbing, pulling, and pushing TMac all over the floor and it was making TMac mad. the result was that he was able to get to the hoop a few times but it totally took Houston out of their offense.
The difference btween TMac and guys like Kobe or Lebron is that if Harpring did that to them they would punish him for it, they would attack him until they fouled him out of the ball game and then they would score 45 just to send a message.
That being said, I think we should try the same tactic against the Lakers. I think The Kobe Bryant Show is actually easier to defend and win against than the team triangle attack they are thrashing the Nuggets with.
It's a shame that it also clearly figures into the team's overall strategy, as it makes the sport less elegant. Seems also unnecessary when you consider how talented D.Will is...
