Title: Interesting comment in an article today Post by: GoldenStateGM on March 25, 2005, 02:08:57 PM http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/sports/11227002.htm
Quote Following back-to-back practice days with Chris Webber and Iverson, the Sixers have not looked better this season than on Wednesday. Looks of confusion are gone. Team defense is happening everywhere, the product of radical changes to O'Brien's scheme, which now focuses on funneling offense to the corners and defending pick-and-rolls to the side, rather than Main Street. More important, O'Brien's scheme has been simplified, and the players, simply put, get it. I thought they had always funneled offense to the corners... But in all the games I have seen, they always defended the pick and roll to the center of the court, rather then the corners... Has anyone seen these changes? |
