We should allow a more versatile offense. Incorporate midrange shots to become less predictable. Reason I wanted Melo.. Argued with someone on here because the shot is “inefficient”, but it opens the offense up. Makes the defense play more.. Getting a legit scoring and only limiting him to being a spot up shooter is what is inefficient. Not saying Melo was the answer, but incorporating what he is good at could open the offense. I rather get Beasley back, he moves without the ball.
Well...are you watching the season so far? That is exactly what they’re doing, with no improvement in sight.
The open shots were there. It was a brick house from Gordon, Tucker, and Paul in the 2nd half. Any analysis has to start with the missed open shots.
This is like the 0-27 in game 7. How do you not change the gameplan when things aren't working? That's D'Antoni's job.
What should Rockets do if the record is 26-27 after the trade deadline? This season's trade deadline at Feb. 8, 10 days before the All-Star Game,
Wolves made a lot of adjustments in the second half. it always seems like a good idea to say this, Coach did a perfect job, GM did a terrible job.
There is a reason D'Antoni is the only coach to have multiple 60+ win seasons and not make it to the finals Mainly because he never develops the bench. The red flags were there two seasons ago in the San Antonio series. And now two seasons later, nothing has changed. Running 6 and 7 man rotations out there every night affects so many other areas of the game
Both coach and GM would be goners after their contracts expire. This team has no a good future because of big contracts, and lack of good young role players. I hate to say it, but it would be likely true.
You mean it was the players that watched a 19 point lead evaporate without calling a time out? You mean it was the players that watched a themselves be weak in the legs and short arm shot after shot and refuse to sub in some fresh legs? Dan-And-Tony is not 100% the problem and changing coaches would be ridiculous that say HE IS *NOT* BLAMELESS Rocket River
What do you mean change the gameplan? Stop shooting threes altogether? You realize that during that time they also shot a bunch of two pointers and also a bunch of free throws? They missed some threes, so they took some twos, took some layups, got some free throws, then tried the threes again. Still weren't falling. Then they did it again, and then back to the open threes, and they still weren't falling. Are you suggesting they should have abandoned three point shots for the rest of the game? That's such a stupid idea. You act like they shot 27 threes on 27 consecutive possessions. Or maybe that is what you think because you don't actually watch the games.
Ah, the argument that I am ignorant because I don’t watch the games. I was AT that game. We hit a wall with isolation shots and never tried to run anything else. Just like yesterday. Yes, we missed open shots. We also completely failed to adjust when they snuffed out the pick and roll actions. No off ball screens, minimal off ball movement. But you watch all the games so you must know it all. Maybe you can coach.
I guess this is where we disagree, because in the game I watched we ran a lot of other stuff. And we were pretty successful with it, too. During our 0-27 stretch on 3s we actually scored pretty effectively on all our other plays. So I really just don't agree here.
Our defensive rebounding is so pathetic that it allowed Minnesota to claw their way back into the game. Didn't help that our coach was too stubborn to call a timeout to stop the onslaught.
