MM played P twice last year, ditched press in 2nd half of first meeting, used it very little in 2nd game. after seeing P v BC, I was again impressed by P's large supply of players w guard skills (dribble, pass, court vision) and their ability to spread the floor and move the ball quickly and accurately. helps a lot to have 5 "guards" to oppose a trapping defense, can punish the full court, yield lots of open perimeter looks in the half court. half expected MM to ditch the press early. and P seems to be willing to take as many open 3's as you give them. P is to be congratulated given their loss of two starters (including a strong post) to knees this year.
