Slow offense 

Post#1 » by LesGrossman » Mon Nov 25, 2019 12:21 am

I was wondering why the offense is slowed down so often. This is a young and mostly athletic roster, yet there are many times when Rubio waited for the outlet pass, dribbled up the floor and still was the first to arrive. Why is this team not running more, when the Suns were the ones to define the 3s or less thing in first place?

From a fast break they ran against the wolves, i can tell they havent really put much time into a well coordinated primary and secondary transition offense. Any ideas why?

I think that we do not play an slow offense, we are playing a high pace offense and with a high number of shots attempted per game. I am lazy to find the current numbers.

Here are possessions per game...we are #8.

Every team is young and mostly athletic, we do not have any advantage in that aspect of the game, but we are moving the ball fast enough and we are usually finding the open man.
