"7 or 8 players" - So who was Casey calling out?

[godkingleonidas]

The team needs to look @ some new defensive set. The opposition have figured out where the holes are.

[raptors999]

When DD comes back TRoss should play SF with GV and Lou and with Amir. GV needs a screener and TRoss needs to run PnR. Demar and Lowry can run off JV and 2Pats and JJ can score in isolation in the post or 15 ft out on his euro step or pass.

[bryan colangelo]

Definitely Ross.

[Dr Hannibal Lecter]

Everyone relax,this is actually a good thing that they aren't playing that good,this team needs some battles,get's them ready for long road ahead. Demar will b back soon,plus I c few moves coming,I'm not worried

[OldSkoolCool]

They set screens... sometimes

Gonna be a body language doctor here:

The people who generally need the screens to get open and get their shot don't seem to run off them as hard anymore.

You know when that happens, when the teammate loses trust in his teammate to pass the ball. This promotes less cutting, less ball movement, more stagnant offense, and more ISO. Vicious circle.

[Mr.Z]

ISO is bad but don't understand why he doesn't even use screens. Two guys in the corner and three guys chucking isn't an offense.

Watching the raps offense brings so much resemblance to everyday pick up basketball.. You know , games at your local park.
No plays, just a free for all. Who ever is wet gets fed the ball until he misses .

And yet, since last season, there's been all this talk of "sharing the ball" (post Rudy), and stubborn defense.

What happened to all that? Why are there mixed messages coming out now? What about all that "pound the rock" stuff.

Is this just a team that's in a tired spell, or is there some deeper, structural managerial issues going on?

JJ has been solid, not sure about others.

[SamMitchells]

Maybe tonight we will see little changes being made to the offence.

Lmao.. Wishful thinking

[Just Is]

Effort is CLEARLY not THE problem HERE.

[raptors999]

Ugh! I can't wait until Casey is gone. We need a coach like Atlanta's coach. Someone who puts an emphasis on ball movement. This ISO thing is getting really really bad.

Everybody but Lowry, Lou and GV. If you aren't chucking you aren't trying.
