Again with the hyperbole.
So you have a plan then to improve without acquiring players
Yes, I do.
-Stop taking so many pull ups when our 'Big 3' are on the floor together. It's terrible shot selection.
-Get Anthony to operate behind the 3-pt line. Him always drifting back to the midrange area might hurt our spacing more than Robereson.
-Give Patterson way more run.
-Use more screening to free up guys. It is viable for a team that doesn't run a lot of stuff like us.
-Get rid of Grant and get a backup Center.
-Let Melo run the bench. That's better than with George.
-Stop freezing out George. There are way too many quarters with him not even being a part of the team's offense.
-Enough with the Felton-Westbrook lineups. There's no use whatsoever for them.
-Constantly look for Adams. He's the only guy who has been able to give us 15+ on 60+ TS% on a somewhat consistent basis.
-Push, push, push the pace! We take way too long to actually do something on offense. Sometimes Russ walks the ball up the floor and only reaches the opponent's 3pt line with 14-12 seconds to go. That's insane.
-Don't stop playing basketball once you think that you've got your opponent in a stranglehold.
-Russ has to stop hunting for TDs. I don't want to engange this narrative, but he plays differently once he gets close to it. Especially against Philly it looked like he thought 'OK, so now that I've got most of the rebounds and assists out of the way, I'm gonna get my points'.
That's out of the top of my head. We've certainly talked about (way) more over the last couple of weeks. So please don't give me the 'Without getting an SG upgrade, there's no chance we could get better' hyperbole nonsense. You know better than this.
