Frye not playing tonight (out for personal reasons). So, less concern about JV getting matched up against a stretch 5.

I know, I know. It was just a silly joke.
Damn no one made a gif of this eh?

I will say that the ATO plays have loooked better since last year. I wonder if Rex deserves some credit as he does seem to draw them up a fair bit, and he also came from his last job in OKC that was a perennial playoff team that suffered from similar problems. Could also be it was just the "next thing" Casey himself thought they needed to improve. Either way it's something you need to finetune as much as possible if you plan on being a team that makes deep playoff runs.

Its also worth pointing out that tactics include D, which was supposed to be Casey's specialty and where he had an awful system until last year because he was too stubborn to change it when it obviously was a crapshoot. There really is no logical reason to have kept it in place so long. A lot of focus on offence and ATO...but lets not forget the D. That's what I'm scared of most this year...can't see a reversion to that.

In 2014-15 there was the huge dropoff down to 25th in the league but I feel like the system itself wasn't really the problem but rather the problem was trying to play that system with guys like Vasquez and Lou logging heavy minutes.

And if anything we are critiquing that it appears it isn't something they practice enough or design with enough variations. I am not in any way saying "oh they dont spontaneously pull enough amazing creative plays out of their asses". On the contrary it seems they dont spend months trying to create enough ripples in these plays so that come playoffs they're harder to scout/stop for these situations.

So yeah, to me we've had the one truly solid defensive year last year (seriously if Scola had been appropriately benched we probably measure out even a bit better than we did).
