It would be nice if the secondary players would contribute instead of just watching the action. No more movement = hero ball. I'm sure Splash and James would pass off in crunch time if the rest of the team showed they could hit a shot when it counts. That's the biggest difference from champions and wanna be's ... Champs trust everyone on their team to win the game. Wanna be's will have their best player run the most obvious of plays and just watch. Ugly ball.
I do agree with you there, and that is where I blame the coach. He needs to get up in Ariza and Anderson's face and tell them to just take those shots and quit throwing the ball right back to Harden. But, I have seen Ariza waving his arms many times when open with James or Eric just Zoned in on ISO ball.
