Does Ime get asked about the lack of creativity on offense? Has anyone asked about the lack of off ball movement? Lack of cuts off post ups? Lack of creativity getting shooters open? Does reporters ask questions like this? I wonder if the young roster just can't implement a complex offense. Or is they are expected to do off ball movement on their own within the offense?
He has no idea how to run a NBA offense without elite wings like Brown and Tatum. Looking like we were sold a bill of goods on Ime.
I firmly believe (and have for years) that fancy/“complex” offense inherently leads to more TOs, bc it gives defenses more opportunities. Not to say I still wouldn’t try to run more motion, but I can completely understand a coach wanting to win the TO battle (1st and foremost) by playing lock-down defense and ball-control offense. I mean, this is exactly how we won the 2018 title. High turnover teams like the GSW dynasty must compensate with elite shooting (or cheating)
We are not competing with a low turnover, ball-control offense. Is does not fit our personnel. We need to playing Kaos defense and transition basketball as much as possible. Down hill get the defense on its heals instead of letting them get set up and packing the paint. Turnovers be damned. We will still win the TO battle, because we will create more than we give up.
I thought it was a given that Coach has fielded questions about Pace/Tempo and has described exactly what you just said. (Except the “turnovers be damned” part , no coach will say that in a presser.) My post agrees with what you just said, bc what you just described is what Coach talks about, all the time. When I say “ball-control offense”, just like when OP mentions cutting, moving, “complex offense”, we’re talking about non-transition possessions. Even you said, “transition bball as much as possible.” So, OP is referring to what offense do you run against set defense, when transition is not possible.
Yes, Ime, preached it, but is not practicing what he preaches. I realize we will have to play half court a good amount of time. We can reduce the amount we play half court by creating transition opportunities with Amen and Tari getting big minutes. When in the half court, we need to go to Senhub and P&R offense with Jalen/Sengun or Amen/Sengun or even Jalen/Amen. Tari and Jabari (who will get his rhythm at some point or even FVV can be your spot up shooters.
our offense is about jr. high level - certainly not pro level. It is embarrassing we should be moving cutting, setting screens off the ball and on the ball and utilizing our guys playmaking ability, it would certainly help unathletic guys like Sengun and FVV.... DD
It a bleck coach thing. Look it up. Mazulla isn’t all blek- tyronn lue had Lebron other than that. blek coach don’t win. bickerstaff to atkins is like Jackson to Kerr
Shows such a weakness of our coaching staff. To the point I'm okay with moving quickly away from ime for someone else. David adelman would be a dream.
If you watch other games you might see that all the teams are running the same few plays. High PnR, hand offs, weave.
That's the problem, I watch other teams. Watch the Lakers or nuggets or heat and tell me the offense is the same... You can't. Compare us to the pistons sure. But not good teams.
Ime is focusing on defense first and the Rockets are currently top 10 in both defense in offense. Once Sengun develops a more consistent jump shot and a larger frame in the next 1-2 years we can easily run the Denver offense through him in a Jokic-like fashion. He has the court vision and the post moves. Jalen green can also beat his defender and set up drive and kicks out of the set offense. People keep bashing Udoka for his offense but FVV is literally shooting 28% from three and just a week ago all of our starters/bench outside of Jalen and Tari were shooting sub 33% from the three point line on open looks. What do you want the coach to do about that?
They don't have to copy denver. Sengun should already be the focal point of every half court set. This coaching staff lacks any creativity on offense. If you rely on Jalen green being able to consistently breakdown defenders 1on1 there's not hope for beating good teams consistently
We’re not asking for much here, it’s not like complex sets involving moving, cutting and setting screens leads to more turnovers. You can still limit amount of passes.
Like I said this is what u get for paying 40 mil for fvv. U will get it eventually why we aren't able to run fast breaks and those sort of passes
