    The extra defender comes from the corner, and the corner is then immediately covered by the person directly behind the person driving. Can't see that guy open.

    You have to play Ryno.

    Think of the scoring abilities of Tucker, Moute, Ariza and Capela. That's almost 70% of our whole team offensively challenged. Our 3rd best scorer is Green and he was hitting and they only gave him 6 shots. MDA is just regressing to his bad habits under pressure. He needs to break out of this.

    You have to play Ryno at backup 5. It doesn't matter if he misses. Warriors are trotting out West for 2 minutes, while Looney - who would not start on any other team in the NBA - is playing big minutes. Even Jordan Bell as bad as he was this game is out there. How can Anderson not get 10 minutes? It's ridiculous stubbornness by MDA. Just for the rest you can give people, you must give Ryno 5-10 minutes.

    We got 1 f'ing rebound off the bench.

    Ryan Anderson sucks and is a waste of $20million . His presence on this team is one of the biggest flaws on the Roster.

    And the midrange step back. He did it once last night and drained it with ease. I’m not sure why he’s not using it more, especially with how he’s being crowded all the way to the rim.

    If I’m being honest, and the goal is to remove draymond from the rim I set up a high PnR with capela.

    Draymond will absolutely switch onto harden.

    Have capela then run to the opposite site “launch pad” short corner.

    At the same time run another screen with whoever it may be (tucker, ariza, Gordon) on this same opposit side to get curry or looney or bell onto harden.

    Once you get the switch, whoever draymond is defending needs to stay far on the 3 from Clint to prevent draymond from bailing out and sprinting back to capela.

    Also at the same time harden needs to attack the rim.

    At this point you should have harden driving past a weaker defender in curry/looney. Draymond should be trailing the play defensively. Harden has a shot at the rim and only capelas guy is left to challenge, probabl klay.

    If he steps up to contest, capela should have the lob. If he doesn’t harden should have the easy layup.

    If we want draymond away from the rim, we need to involve him in the high pnr.

    Green is athletic for no reason. I really don’t understand how he can’t drive in every play.
