Thats the main problem. Schemes either dont work or the player cant follow them.
We had the #1 D in the league for like a 20 game stretch, so it did work at least at one point.
It was during the weakest part of the schedule though right? Gotta take that into account and later in the season vs tanking teams.

This was obvious after his 2nd year… I swear man al these basketball experts. I kept saying if to is man is not 40%+ 3 point shooter on high volume there’s nothing else about his game that is worth investing in… and you had people here saying he was better than Rj… you guys are frustrating man.

We had it against bad competition. I dont say we werent improved back then, but why cant we do it now? Its more or less the same players.

the combo of IQ, RJ, Ingram, Scottie is just never going to be good defensively.....it's a tough pill to swallow.

What’s really pissing me off so it how **** we are is Scottie is actually hitting 3s like I was hoping for and still losing… what’s gonna happen when he regresses back to being a brick.

Of course, I'm not saying we are an elite D but it should be closer to average not bottom tier like we have shown thus far.
