I'm confused. How exactly does blake run an offense averaging less than 4 assists a game?
Click to expand...

That's a function of minutes and playing off the ball when Kobe is in.

Glock doesn't pass. At all. Not that I'm arguing Blake runs an offense well. He doesn't. It was just a lot worse when glock was PG.

They need to get him out of the studio. He not only adds nothing interesting, he actually detracts from the usual entertainment value of Chuck, Kenny and Ernie.

Get Chris Webber back in the studio.

Shaq is actually pretty funny in scripted segments. But he's terrible in the live studio. He mumbles, provides kindergarten analysis, and has zero chemistry with Kenny and Charles. I guess I didn't appreciate how well CWebb did fitting in with the crew.

Yeah after this post-season, they need to send Shaq out on special assignments. And bring CWebb back in the studio (though he can still moonlight as a commentator occasionally. He's not that bad at it.)

Shaq's been better on NBATV. Webber was the perfect fit on the panel and I hope he returns. He's been pretty good as a color analyst as well.

Remember how bad Reggie was when he first started? he improved a lot compared to his first season. Hopefully, Shaq does too. But I still rather have Webber in there.

From an ESPN article detailing the Spurs offense:

They relied on isolation plays only 7.1 percent of the time in the regular season (only the Magic used a smaller percentage of their possessions in iso). In their first-round sweep of Utah, the Spurs ran isos only 24 times in four games (the Knicks, in contrast, had 124 such possessions over five games).

Bynum is such a weird player. Sometimes he'll take over games and play dominantly and other times he is a ballhog and a turnover machine. It is baffling. I can't even count the amount of times he took a bad shot, turned the ball over, or stood around last night.

It's called not being a great player.

Weird? Dude is just immature. There are times when you pass out of the double team and times when you aggressively attack it.

He's been in the league for something like seven years. If he doesn't know how to pass out of a double team by now then he is fucked. You can't make excuses for a guy that has played in the NBA as long as he has.

how cool was that act 1 boss doe

bynum is just not very good yo

part of being very good is consistency

although actually for how big he is he should be even better than he is

man what the fuck happened to centres

I don't know why its so shocking to me that Bynum came into the league only one year after Al Jefferson and before Paul Millsap.

He really hasn't played that long, though. He sat his entire 1st year, basically. Then he got hurt 3 years in a row a missed a lot of time. He also barely played in HS.

And when he did play, outside of one stretch, he was the 4th option on offense. Only 300 games started in 7 years. It took guys like Zbo longer than him to figure things out.

Bynum's non-passing can get a bit exaggerated, too. His assist ratio isn't that far behind Dwight's. He's not Shaq, never will be. Or Pau. Or Sabonis. He's impoved over the years, though. He was much worse last season.

It also hasn't helped that most guys haven't hit shots to begin with, not named Kobe, from outside. I think this has been the main driver of the problem. If people could hit shots or even slash, it would be much different.

Oh yeah I forgot that Reggie was with the crew in the studio. He was always the butt of jokes lol

Even when the Knicks aren't running an Iso, they're running a play to get into an Iso.

There is almost no motion to that offense anymore. Lin unfucked that team and Woodson + Melo re-fucked it in less than a month.

You're right. And when Lin comes back there is going to be a complete clusterfuck in New York. Carmelo will ask for Lin to be shipped out.

Miami's role players cannot shoot for shit. I can't even list how many times I've seen Mike Miller miss a WIDE OPEN three pointer. Lebron will find him, no one will be around him for at least four feet, and he bricks it.

I've noticed that it takes Miller a few times, particularly when Battier comes in and sinks his typical corner 3s.
