Ride the waves. The good news is if he continues to struggle we can try some small ball stuff. Overall he’s been too good to mess with… now we can dabble maybe.
By the way, watching the game as a replay on league play is the way to go. Fast forward through all commercials and time outs and half time and such. Much faster, and more action for your time.
This is the worst thing about this team by far. The sheer amount and stupidity of unforced turnovers. And we can't blame Quin's hyper-complicated schemes, because lots of these are just lazily thrown passes straight into the hands of the defense. It's mind-boggling. But apparently Quin doesn't care as it doesn't seem they worry about it much. They pay lip-Service but it doesn't really improve. It's maddening to watch. In the first quarter we just handed them the ball 5 times, 3 in a row, that all lead to scores. Otherwise we would have been ahead by 20+ and just rolling, but just giving the ****ing ball away just completely kills your momentum and energizes the other team. They get a handle on this and we'll win a lot more games.
Or when we throw the ball away for no reason.
*Can but *probably won’t
League pass. It's an option to go rewatch a game after it's played. I think it's like 24 hours or something but I don't know for sure.
Hope so (regarding offense). One of the two offensive things that stood out to me late in this game was letting Conley direct traffic for a spell instead of Mitchell. We were down four as I recall and instead of just casting off threes he played a couple of beautifully executed pick and rolls for Gobert. Mike is just so good at that.
Along these lines, is it the new ball or something that is causing how much we are just bobbling the ball? Last night at least 4 different players dribbled off their own foot or otherwise just dropped the ball. Seems to be happening more than usual this year.
No it was super stupid careless passes or just not being aware that Boston has aggressive defenders. The three turnover that bothered me most were the Rudy one where he was dribbling in mid court, the Ingles hit ahead pass to Whiteside that was like 15 feet short, the Royce bullet pass to Rudy in the last few minutes that had zero chance of working. There were others that were a little more understandable I guess but they just show a lack of focus.
One theory, and I'm probably wrong, but maybe after 3 days of practicing against ourselves we got used to playing against a bad defense where lazy passes still work.
Yeah I addressed that in a different post. This was a corollary to it. We did a lot of bobbling the ball with minimal defensive pressure in addition to throwing the ball away a lot. I've noticed more bobbling the ball this year and wondered if it's partly the new ball.
