Is it our point guard? Is it our shooting guard?Our forwards? Oh I know we can blame it on Cato! No wait it must be the injuries, it's definitely not Rudy or our coaching staff! They did a great job against WIZARDS but will it be consistent? Or will Moochie have more assists than our starting PG every game?Excuses anyone?
I'm an avid "non-basher" but I can't excuse this. I would really like to see better ball movement. I'm holding out to see what happens next season when this team will have time to book more minutes together as a unit. If this doesn't change, then I'll start calling for a new coach. But until then, I'm not going to kick Rudy while he is down...it's too easy right now.
It is interesting to see where the teams like L.A. and Sacramento rank. Certainly, if you're going to be on the extreme, be it a lot of passing ala Utah, or none at all, ala Houston, it is better to pass more than less. But interestingly, teams like the Lakers, Sacramento, Dallas (and dont we just love their offense) are more middle of the pack. Why? You simply have to have the players who can make their own shot come playoff time (which is why I think the Nets wont win the East regardless of their record. The only player they have who is smart enough to make his own shot generally can't - Jason Kidd). Teaching a team to pass more has got to be easier than teaching them to pass less???
