Last seasons front court rotation from distance:
Capela 0% - Okongwu 0%.
Collins 36% - Gallo 38%
This seasons front court rotation from distance:
Capela 0% - Okongwu 0%
Collins 21% - Johnson 21%
Yes the backcourt needs to pick it up while already being the best players on the team... Still a massive amount of pressure being put on them if the entire front court continues to be non shooting anchors.
It's fairly clear a combo forward of some sort is needed capable of connecting volume 3s. Sounds like Crowder/Kuz etc at this juncture.

The last 5+ minutes of these 4th quarters is Nates call to slow it down and ho ISO. He's not on the sidelines pissed, he's accepting of this because it's what he wants. He can't call a real play to do something else.

But if he was unable to call a play, he should be the first to scream "I don't know what to play, so please, don't do half court game, and push the ball, push the ball, push the ball and attack them on fast break and transition!"
This what makes no sense. And if he's has nothing to say, it would be that the players can decide what to do, so why don't they learn that if they slow the game, they are dominated. It's crazy to hear Trae talking about what happen during this game, we don't need him to tell that, we saw it, and we saw it in every game.
This is why I want to know who decides to do that. There must be some pretty stupid guys in this team (staff+players), or it's done on purpose: players doing that to get Nate fired, or Nate asking for that because he know from Fields hiring that he will be fired and he doesn't care at all to the point of asking stupid things.
I never liked Nate as head coach, but come on, I even made a video of some of his plays with POR at least ten years ago when he killed ATL with great offensive ball movement (I think it was Roy, Frye, Rodriguez and another one). They had several options of the same play depending on how opponent react, and they got each time a shooter totally free.
