Hollinger is really good at what he does, to be honest, but to me he epitomizes the guy who can't write out of experience. Anything he says can be debuffed by, "play in the NBA, then talk to me".
His first argument is always numbers in a game where numbers come after the core tenants of the game which are vague concepts like "heart" and "teamwork". Players make the numbers, not the other way around.
Plus, Rush can't even sniff the top-30 in the NBA for total minutes played.

Re: Brandon Rush analysis
Brandon needs plays run for him. O'B seems to only want to run plays for the 3. Rush would be much better in another system. I'm really frustrated with O'B's unwillingness to modify his system to fit the talents of his players.

Why, it's not like Obie will be here in 2 years. Hell, he likely won't even be here next year. Who really thinks he's going to be in Indy for another 3 years or more?

Re: Brandon Rush analysis
hard to tell how long O'B will stay. he really is a nice guy. I blame a lot of this on Bird who should have sat O'B down and told him that his job next year did not depend upon wins at the end of this year and we needed to play the bottom of the bench for development reasons even if that cost us wins. except playing McBob and AJ isn't costing us wins. oh, well.
this team just doesn't have the speed to play good man to man defense. what is happening is that we're playing teams who know longer care about positioning and so they aren't working on defense. now that they've stopped defending, their defense is on our level. we're trying but just aren't good at it which puts our defense down at the level of a good team not trying. and with the defenses suddenly equal, our offensive talent is carrying the day.

Re: Brandon Rush analysis
I just wanted to point out that Brandon Rush is 12th in the NBA in 3P% and he's made more 3's than 6 of the guys ahead of him on the list. He's right behind Nash.

TRUTH.
If we had a good PG who could get him the ball in his spots, nobody would diss him at all.

That would be my perfect scenario. Rush needs just a little more maturity, he's got the physicals and the tools to be a solid SG in a couple of years more, and we could really exploit his spot-up shooting with a playmaking pg.
