Everyone's passing angles are so weird so far. And I can't remember a single successful pick and roll other than the one where Jose was literally running parallel to Bosh and got it to him.

Jose's passes have been awful. His main strength is pick and roll passing and he's even sucking at that now.

Magic FT 85.7% - Raptors FT 58.3%

OMG Bargs is useless. This team doesnt have consistent players. Every night someone different shows up.

I know...stupid excuses. Its not like he has a collarbone problem that could paralyze him..

@Kirbs

That didn't really hit me until you said it. Jesus that's so ironic.....and pardon my french, but f*cking stupid.

we're seeing the same old Jose-Bosh basketball we've seen in the last 3 years

The pick and roll isn't as effective partly because of the shet picks we set.

I like the dude to a certain extent & think he's a better starting pg than Jack but Leo is trying to sell Jose both ways. If he plays for Spanish National Team and he starts off slow it's because his body is tired for year long basketball...if he doesn't play during the offseason and he starts off slow then it's because he's used to playing all year long. Jose is one lucky man...with those excuses he can't lose lol.
We would all be so lucky have that many excuses in our jobs.

I seriously hope Leo gets fired and never get's an NBA related job ever. He is the epitome of worthlessness to me, gives no analysis and trots out excuses. Complete waste of oxygen that dude is.

sadly they won't run plays for Demar simply because he's a rookie. If he was a Lebron type or a 1st pick kinda player then it would be different.

Also, Wright apparently thinks he can score. He can't. He should stop.

JJ Redick on pace for 40pt night

_venom_ · Post #1094 » by **_venom_** » Sun Nov 1, 2009 7:29 pm

Are people really complaining about our offense? We scored 53 points on 57% shooting against one of the elite defensive teams in the NBA. Our offense is not a problem (even if Hedo and Bargs are not involved). The problem is and will always be defensively. Bargnani leaves Anderson open not once, not twice, but three times for 3's in the 1st quarter. Jose let's Nelson take him to the rack multiple times, and both Jose and Jack leave Nelson open for 3's. JJ Redick was left open too many times. We gave up 7 offensive rebounds. That's where we're losing the game, not on the other side. Blaming Bosh in the half is outrageous.

99 Problems · Post #1095 » by **99 Problems** » Sun Nov 1, 2009 7:30 pm

How does Bargnani suck when he's effectively being frozen out of the offense, along with Hedo? When was the last time a proper play was run for him? The Cleveland game?

Our problem is that our offensive system uses like 1 or 2 guys at the same time, and is not really a system, but more like a scheme.. Everybody else becomes a spot up shooter...

JT next at halftime.

Our offense should really be named "stand here" and roll

Turkoglu took 20 million over a championship. Wonder if he regrets it

Given all that, we're only down 11?
Those are some horrible stats, but impressive to ONLY be down 11, not that it's something to brag about.
