I saw this post and decided to summarize our offensive possessions. My superficial conclusions from a whole 15 minutes of analysis: 1- IME only trusts FVV and Sengun on offense 2- When Sengun posts up and the D collapses no one is cutting or moving to create an angle or exploit the rotation 3- Sengun still loves his jump in the air with nothing to do move 4- Seriously, for the first 6/7 offensive possessions (6 consecutive from 2-7) only FVV and Sengun touched the ball 5- IMO - This wasn't IME attacking a vulnerability; after the early turnovers by Sengun on post-ups it was a heavy dose of PNR with FVV doing the ball handing and decision making. This was just IME showing who he trusts on offense and had nothing to do with anything else What conclusions do/did you reach after reading the summary or watching it live yesterday? Is this what we can expect on all clutch offensive possessions for the first part of the season?

My reply will be short here but I always appreciate analyzation posts so... My conclusion is that we have a coach finally that is actually WATCHING the game. He saw a weakness and he wanted to attack it and for a while it was working but he probably went to the well too many times especially against another well coached team. As for the movement around Sengun that's likely just the result of not having chemistry, who knows how many times we've worked on Sengun post ups in practice but I'm sure the team will work a bit more on them so that Sengun has more options. It's nice that we have a coach that is actively watching and reacting to the game though.
Fred and Alpi were our two best players, the question is how were Jabari and Jalen in particular not getting open off the ball for easy buckets? Jalen disappearing in the 4th is a huge concern.
