    cynically, I think our current offense is designed to boost the trade value of Wall and Oladipo. Let them get as much iso as possible and shoot all they want until the trade deadline.

    Exactly, but the motion that was there before has more or less stopped now. No, it's not a set play, per se, but it is a set style of offense, and that seems to have vanished with the loss of Christian Wood. It is what it is. I get that most set plays come out of time outs, etc., it's the style that I think is bothering most people.

    Oh Noes he can't scheme the worst offensive roster in the NBA into being good on offense in a year where they're no longer really trying oh noes

    Silas deserves another year no matter what. I question some of the statements he has made, but that doesn’t mean he cannot coach a good roster of give a chance. Steve Kerr said a number of odd and bizarre things and has proven capable.

    You can post this a hundred times and people will never see it in that context because it's a tank.

    Play Calls are

    1. Iso John Wall - 30 shots

    2. Iso Victor Oladipo - 30 shots

    3. Iso Eric Gordon - 18 shots

    4. Everybody else doesn't matter.

    5. P.J Tucker doesn't care 0 points, 5 rebounds

    Games ive watched it just seems like there a hole in either Point in the Paint or Missed shots. They just dont seem like they care. Out there looking for harden or somebody to take control, not even on the court. Wood is the leader of this team obviously.

    There better be some semblance of a structure when the g-league guys get called up. The last thing you want is guys like KPJ and KMJ developing bad habits.

    True, but we don't have finishers either. I'm not saying that this justifies excessive isolation plays from Wall, Oladipo and to a certain extent from Eric Gordon for the most part.
