i am still waiting on LB to actually prove to me that he does in fact hate turnovers. he seems to casually discus the problem after games talking about good turnovers and bad turnovers etc... at what point does he say enough is enough.
STOP ASKING JAX, CRASH AND DIAW TO CREATE OFFENSE FROM THE 3PT LINE
those 3 are way too careless with the ball away from the basket. jax walks every time he goes into the triple threat position and tries to drive. diaw and jax attempt far too many risky cross count passes (something i remember LB always talking about - swinging the ball from side to side), wallace tries to make something out of nothing by driving through a team of defender.
simplify the game. pick and roll, post up jax and diaw more to get them closer to the basket, let dj handle the ball more.
we also need more speed and better ballhandlers on the team. jax, crash and diaw are all 6'8" and they all like to handle the ball away from the basket, but none of them are particularly good ballhandlers and being so tall the ball has a long way to travel to the floor and back. lots of room for errors. jax just seems too slow to effectively play shooting guard at this point in his career. our lack of speed seems to lead to us forcing the ball into tight spaces.
we need more shooters to spread the defense. all of our offense has to come from drives into the paint or passes into the paint and every defense knows it. they crowd the paint picking off our lazy passes through traffic and take charges or force turnovers as we try to drive into a crowd.
we have to develop a low post threat and we need more shooters to spread the defense.
