What would happen if DMO gets 21 postups shots a game

5 TO from the entry pass
4 TO from post up moves
3 bunnies passed up to pass to someone's that's covered in the paint.
4 bunnies passed up to pass to 3 point spot shooters
3/5 on post up.

 

The objective is to win the NBA championship.

Individual player rewards/recognition, e.g. MIP, are completely secondary to that objective.

 

Not even Hakeem got 21 post ups. It's a difficult play to run and easy to defend if you keep doing it.

Because he shot them within the flow of the game. For all the talk on the # of shots, he did not dominate the ball.

 

If dmo will have 21 shots per game, that means we will be in the lottery.

 

Anyone who wants to act like an idiot (the same as some of those writer who never watch the game but just look at the box score), ans want to make a big deal out of the 21 shots josh took last night,

Call up bev,

I am sure he will kick you ass.

 

Last night?

I'd say 6 buckets, 10 misses and 5 TOs.

 

I don't think they're intentionally running enough half-court set plays for D-Mo.

He got the first bucket of the game, by design, where Trevor fed the ball to him in the post:





What I do see is that D-Mo could get some easy early transition buckets, but if the ball isn't in Harden's hands, the other players are either not passing him the ball [Beverley with a pull-up 3] or just don't see him quick enough [Ariza what are you looking at?]...

 

I'd like to see DMo get more shots, and I think he will. We have all these new players, and McHale needs to tinker with the rotations and player combinations to see what works best. We just need to have it figured out by the time the playoffs start. The good news is that we are winning, and we should continue to improve as these guys get more time on the court together.

It's hard to get everyone on the team lots of shots. The main thing is that we keep winning. So far, so good.

 

He's got to learn to establish post position better. Teams are trying to prevent him from getting the ball there now. But he should have been fed when prince was on him. He would have feasted

 

He could convert better than Dwight that's for sure.

 

This may frustrate me more than no post up plays. Bev doesn't have true point guard skills and cant get Dmo the ball when he gets open. Luckily he hits some shots from time to time.

 

I agree, my only issue is they are FORCING him to post up when we really know that's not his game. It's nice to set the tone inside the paint early on the game make his presence felt but with all the wings we have and DMO's post skills there really isn't no need to force it in, Dwight will find his shots selections.

 

crazy how our only issue now is rotation and minutes when just last month it was depth. Wow.

 

he should demand the Bol or go to management and demand his alien pg to be traded if he can't give him bol!

d mo in the post = greatness
d mo at the three pt line= WTF, dmo?

 

It's not just DMo, they miss Dwight when he's open too. If the Rockets can't get Dragic at the trade deadline. Forgt about a second slasher/PnR guy and do a small move by going after Prigioni. That guy knows how to find his bigs.

 

21 post ups for DMo probably means some turnovers because we don't have anyone that can properly throw a pass to the post, at least 4 assists, at least 16 points, foul trouble for their team.

 

The problem is not attempts, it's getting DMo and DH the ball when their positioned down low. More than often both are fed well outside their comfort zone.

 

21 postups for dmo will meant Dwight and harden is injured...

 

Bev never had the ball when DMo is wide open like that. Notice in those plays, Ariza has the ball. He's wide open because he hustles to the basket on a break, and whoever has the ball pulls up and waits for the half court set.

Harden would be full go for the hoop, Bev would see DMo.

Ariza just doesn't, he's tunnel visioned on offense.

 

OP has a terrible agenda and most of you lack adequate foresight. You need someone in the post to score an easy two points when you throw the ball down there. Especially in the playoffs.

Teams have already adjusted for D-Mo. The problem is our own team hasn't adjusted to their adjustments. Furthermore, what the op missed in his clever little agenda is that the team does not even get Dwight the ball at the right time.

A lot of this falls on the fact that Harden is the only one who looks for D-Mo consistently on the post and the fact that while everyone looks for Dwight, they get him the ball in bad spots. The team still needs another playmaker at the pg position because Bev is not cutting it.

So this twisted question is ridiculous. D-Mo shoots hook shots at a near 60% rate. If there were 21 post ups there would be 3-4 combined turnovers from bad entry passes and lack of helping the big man be aware help is coming. There would probably be 1-2 kick outs for 3's. And D-Mo would probably be about 9-14 on post ups.

I say that given the fact that is exactly what's already happened a few times this year. Whether anyone likes it. Dwight/D-Mo together need to get about 20-25 post up attempts combined per game. Without an established inside out game, our offense turns to ****. And I trust D-Mo post ups a hell of a lot more than Dwight's post-ups.
