And I don't even like TA.
It was just a dumb sub by Doc.
TA did have a flyby earlier in the game on Davis. You're thinking of the Rasual Butler 3, which was partly Ray's fault (although KGs overplay on the pick and roll gave Davis a straight shot to the hoop).
Overall I've loved what TA has brought to the table in the past two games without Paul, but the Rondo-TA-Perk trio sucks the spacing out of the gym, especially when KG/Sheed and Ray aren't shooting very well, as was the case last night.
Actually, what sucks is that we basically ignore TA's side of the court on offense, which in turn kills ball movement and limits the amount of picks we set. For entire stretches of the game last night, our entire offense was based on the side opposite TA. Don't know if that's a Rondo issue or a Doc issue, but we're wasting/ignoring what TA can bring on the offensive end, and it's impacting our spacing and ball movement. Does Doc (or Rondo) think we can just scrap all the Paul plays, ignore TA's side, and the offense will still function the same?
I'd love to see TA feed the post more often (especially to KG, who can compensate for some of TA less-than-stellar passes), and I'd especially love to see us use TA in the post against smaller stature guards, like Monta Ellis, Anthony Morrow, or CJ Watson. TA damn near played 30 minutes last night, and he got ZERO post attempts.
The leaks are real...the news is fake.
I'm just here for the memes.
