IT not attacking the basket anymore?

[j804]

Is it just me or does IT not attack the basket at all anymore? He did have his teeth knocked out so understandable I guess but since then he has shied away from contact. He doesn't attack the basket at all. If we're going to win Game 7 we're gonna need a fearless IT hopefully he shows up.

I think it has to do with the Wizards using 3 guys to cut off his lanes. They've done a good job of making things tough for him. IT has to move the ball faster when they do that, and our open guys have to convert and make the Wizards pay.

Yes he is getting swallowed up by 3 guys when he tries which usually ends up in a turnover so I am glad that he stopped trying to force that.

Yeah need to see it coming.

Longer reach would make those passes easier too. It's another thing about less length than opponents.

He has to make a choice because he is getting hammered and the refs are not giving him the calls. Look for that to change in game 7.

The Wizards are preventing this and leaving players like AB wide open.
