For the love of God Fisher, draw up a different play!

You must have not watched the game! What lost us the game is the five minutes Fisher decided to play the subs with Lou at PF. That was a bad decision, because we really had no one on the floor we could have dumped the ball and ask to create. The second unit is much better when Williams is part of it. His athleticism and slashing ability are valuable and need to be put to better use. I notice that Fisher does not really trust him; as such, he has not used him as he should

I said on game thread, it's on Fish subs and Melo Hero ISO Ball. 50/50 blame.
Fish waited until it was too close to sub, and Melo only had 5 points in the 4th and a crucial 24 second violation airball. Forget the 29 points, it's when you score that counts.
Both blew chunks.
You got an idea of what Aflalo can do to help this team. I think he is a guy we can use with plays makes use of screens as he gets his legs under him.
May not like Calderon's D, but good shooting makes it more palatable. The more he looks like Toronto Jose, the better off we are.
As some have said...need to get KP some midrange shots, especially early in the game. Good to see him bounce back early with his shot. Had some great D on Walker and Lin when they tried to take advantage of him. He covers a lot of ground, and you don't even realize it at first.
Lou might have gotten tired at the end of his stint, but I thought he looked good on both ends, for the most part.
Gallo looked like his legs were dead tonight...not that worried about him, though.
Seraphin let Lin, I think, drive to the basket while he put his arms up in surrender, or so it seemed. He has to make a statement and go for a block. A hard foul would have been nice and given Lin something to consider.
I think the shine has come off of Williams, unfortunately. If he does not have a lane to the basket on that play where he was stripped bringing the ball up from halfcourt, he should get the ball to a guard.
Live by the sword...die by it, but maybe Anthony can think about the law of averages, sometimes- you can't keep making the kinds of shots he takes on a continual basis. Have to have some better plays set up for him if you want to use him in key situations, bring a screener over for assistance and see if he can play off it. Still, Fisher gave him the OK to do it, I would assume.
Big difference for Lance, tonight. Might have played himself out of that $50M/5 yr contract some wanted him to get after yesterday's game.
FireWoodson might have to take back that open "letter" he sent to him.
He'll be back, though. You can't stop Lance, you can only hope he has an off day every now and then.

Good unbiased post. Some here are too sensitive when certain players are called out (Melo)

Added to this post...said that Fisher had to have OK'd that ISO shot.
Have to say, though, that it is hard to see a lead built on shots you know are difficult to continue shooting and making, and then get too upset when it does not work out. Might also try to get him the ball while he is closer to the basket, so he can start in better position...he is pretty deadly in that 10-15 foot area, and does well when he starts from there with his back to the basket. Might also open up some passing opportunities.
