What you are seeing is a tired team that has tuned out its coach. Not a good sign with the playoffs around the corner.
I think the good teams have figured the clippers out. Chris Paul is great and blake is extremely athletic but gets into foul trouble too much, add to that that they lack deadly the 3 point shooters they had with nick young, their offense can look gruesome at times.
Their three point shooting is better than it was last year with Crawford instead of Young. The problem is they are basically the same team as last year, where they have tons of athleticism and talent but a pea-brained coach who only knows enough to run iso. They are basically the west coast Hawks, which means a first or second round exit. they will probably play the Grizz or Nuggets now which is 50% and then they have basically 0% next round. Disappointing.
ya'll's problem lies in the fact that yall rely on chris paul for everything. Eric Bledsoe can't run the team at all, so when chris is out of the game you guys lose leads. your team runs isos because nobody on that team other than paul knows how to pass and set up players. You guys have a ton of athletic-ability, but your teams basketball iq is well below the mark. Can't blame that on VDN, that's the front office.
Sorry, you are just off base with that. This team runs isos far more when Paul is in the game than when he is out. The problem is that the coach hasn't put any structure in place and basically rolls the ball out to Paul and tells him to make it work. The team won games earlier off the strength of its bench, because they had a combination of athleticism to run at a tempo that no other bench could match. But injuries and fatigue has tempered that somewhat.
that is what I meant. Chris Paul's iso is VDN's best option with the players that they have on the team because those players aren't smart. Don't get me wrong, Chris Paul is dangerous and he can do ANYTHING, but you got a bunch of non-intelligent basketball players around him and it is just a matter of time before teams figure out how to stop chris paul.
By your logic the Clippers would lose leads with the bench, but the opposite occurs. remember, we won in Memphis when Paul was out. The problem is the coach. This team is well constructed with great talent. The only real personel problem is not having a reliable center.
Lost in this is the fact that Indiana is a very good team. They may be the only roadblock that can stop the Heat parade.
