They don't shoot like them and the switch everything defense regularly ends up in a bad match-up. I have never seen a team give up so many layups and dunks with fools looking around for help. The idea that Kawhi and PG are 2 way players should probably be forgotten. These guys are literally the only offensive threat and waste their energy on that side with nothing left on D. We refuse to develop any rebounding defensive players. The focus is constantly on guards and 3s and these guys suck on the defensive end and turnovers plague them. Big teams will own this team because it doesn't execute well enough to end up with easy shots despite being outsized. Let's not forget the Chiropractor's refusal to play 2 guys above 6'8 at any one time. A 1st round playoff exit seems unavoidable.
I like this post, but Ty only turns to small ball when nothing else is working. It is NEVER Plan A.
It's the panic button when we're getting beaten up and down the floor. Or when Zu is too slow to make his switches or close out on the 3-point line against bigs who can shoot it. Theis is a little better but Plumlee has been a disappointment on both sides of the ball.
Biggest error by the Front Office was letting Hartenstein go, over a few extra bucks. We've been paying for it since.
