What's up with this team shooting so many jumpers? Does Andrei, Raja, CJ, and Hayward think they're Ray Allen or something?
My main problem with this team isn't Raja (he's old), with Millsap (he's undersized), or with AK (we all know what we get with him). My main problem is that this team refuses to "play dirty" and do damage inside. We'd rather shoot 20 foot jumpers than lower the shoulders and take it to the rack. We'd rather cast away and let the other team play 5 seconds of defense than grind out 20 seconds of the shot clock for a good look inside. Our guards refuse to dump it down low. And we are pathetic at utilizing Favors. If Evans can get in a few good alleyoops, why can't Favors?
Before this team looks at changes to their roster, they REALLY need to make changes to their offensive philosophy. We're playing like the GS Warriors when we should be playing like the Spurs when they had Robinson and Duncan.
Wow. We are 3 games into the Favors era and yet "we are PATHETIC at utilizing him"??? And while i agree with your second statement in general and as a model we could become, i would relax a bit and offer the "its only been three games" statement again. Whew.
