Twin Towers Big Frontcourt Dominance?

[MaxRider]

again because of the coach
D'Antoni is all about run and gun offense
he doesn't know how to run his offense with two big men

As a coach, you do what u can according to the players skills and strengths.. Dwight Gasol didn't work cos Gasol was better fit in the post, with room to operate, and he had to stay far from the basket, shoot too many jump shots.. It's not good from a technical standpoint, and from a psychological standpoint (for the player)..

With Asik, Dwight u can't do much.. we are talking about 2 players that have zero midrange game, and also are not the kind of player that can really produce from the post.. they need to be fed while they are moving to be effective, since they don't have great fundamentals in the low post.
There is no way, not even a magician could make this couple work in today's Nba.. They are both perfect to be centers close to a more perimeter oriented 4.. It's easy, no need to complicate things. Gm needs to work his butt off and find a way to trade Asik..

because today nba coaches just take the easy way and try to out run everyone instead of playing hard core defense by packing the lane
reason why defense isn't working either is because Harden is slacking off on defense
can't play 4 vs 5
so i blame it on the coach

Twin Towers doesn't work. It's over. 2 Low post players with no mid range shots. Neither of them are good at passing from the highpost.

It can be used in spurts vs some teams, but you can't start games with gimmicks.

yes but, u need the personnel to play a certain type of offense.. It's not like Asik and Dwight are skillful big men that can create from nothing, that have moves in the low post etc... We are talking about two relatively limited big men(from a technical standpoint), who, as I said before, need to be fed on the move, and have zero range. Then on the defensive part of the ball, of course one of them has to follow his man on the perimeter and is not exactly the specialty.. especially cos they can't get advantage on the other side of the court.. In the end this lineup has more cons than pros.. I think you can still play 2 big men at the same time, but at least one has to be a technical player, with range, and versatility.

So trade!! even if I'm reading now, Asik this year makes only 5,5 mil, and next year is gonna make 14.. so it's difficult to find a good player in return this year for salary cap reasons, unless maybe is a young guy still on rookie contract. Let's see, I'm sure the Gm will do something before the trade deadline

just because you have two big men on the lineup doesn't mean your offense have to run through them
our offense scheme is out-run opponent that didn't change at all when both are in the lineup (we still don't feel the ball to Howard enough)
when lane is clogged Harden and Lin can't do their stuff of drive and dish
and team basically don't know how to play half-court offense
i blame this on coach
these days lot of team doesn't know how to run half court offense
when you have two big men is best to use them to set hard pick and screen
good SG to have is Martin/Redick, those guys that know how to play without the ball
Harden/Lin is basically standing there when he doesn't have the ball
and big men didn't set screen or anything
so you basically have one guy with the ball with 4 guys standing around
and yes coach suck
even i can tell Terrence Jones is a better matchup for Amir Johnson than Howard/Asik
with the way this team is playing
if i'm the coach i will change my lineup based on opponent lineup
starting both Howard and Asik against team with PF like Nowitzki/Love is basically asking for problem
once again McHale suck

Morey's phenomenal, and I know it's supposed to be the more the merrier, but the man really needs to do something before he gets chin #4.
