    I thought Silas offensive system is more sharing the ball because he told James Harden to give up ISO play . But after watching the way Wood and Porter playing, I think it’s not true. They are driving to the crowd without passing, and reluctantly shooting the ball. Jalen Green hardly get the ball on the court.Silas is OK with that. Lol

    Porter, Green, and Wood are being more aggressive and that's what they need to do. You can't pass to guys that aren't open. How do you get them open? You drive and attract defensive help and then dish. When Green and Porter start finishing better the court will open up for passes. They need to keep being aggressive at driving to the basket and Silas needs to utilize a fuller play set including pnr, back picks and give and go. This offense is a work in progress and will get better as the season progresses. Patience is key.

    We have a bunch of streak shooters. I guess I'm forgetting Christian Wood. I would love for EG to start the year off on one of those incredible shooting runs that he has where he looks like a freaking all star. Come EG, we all want you out, but can't trade you if you look like ****.

    Porter and Sengun are both playmakers and Green will be. Who are these shooters? Brooks maybe but he plays no defense so he won't get more than trash time minutes. KMJ maybe, but he can't create for himself. Tate? Nwaba? Gordan? Not lately on any of them. Green will be a shooter eventually but he is going to make his money going to the FT line.

    then let the existing player practice them....with a month or so of dedicate practice you can make a lot of progress... also let them shoot 3s for 2 hours before every game... i bet you any money theyll raise their % in no time... lot of our players could be serviceable 3pt shooters if they only set themselves to practice it more...

    i dont care if you miss the shot but you you need to hit the gym the way i described above...

    theres no substitution for hard work....thats the only way to win.... you cant tank your way to championship...
    you may draft whoever if they dont practice hard and harder than the most of nba they aint winning nothing....

    they are not a playmakers, so many turnovers, wait and see if they can improve by all-star break

    The offense is lacking because we have non shooters getting major minutes (Tate, Nwaba, etc...). Neither Green nor KPJ can score with their Tate and Nwaba defenders standing in the lane. We need 5 scorers on the floor at all times...

    This is straight out excellent. Where is this coach and how can we sign him up immediately.

    This is part of the problem I keep seeing with us. We keep doing individual skills training instead of a full court scrimmage workouts with a coach fixing the issue on the spot. You just can't fix it by saying in the post-game interviews.

    Kris Gardner, some of the reporters who had access to the facility, confirm Wood hit his FT just fine in practice. Even during pre-season when the woes started. The fact he can't hit them in game is suspected to be more mental than mechanics.
