Washington vs Atlanta Part 3: Revenge of the Fallen

[Galloisdaman]

The 5 guys off the bench only had 23 combined field goal attempts. It will be hard for them to stay in rhythm like that.

the bench has been so shiii (thanks to Lou Will and Bozoman) that it's hard to keep them out there. Your guy Gallo should be the #1 option for the bench, but the two idiots I just mentioned don't agree with me.

With Hunter back in the mix.
The bench mainstays will be Lou, Huerter, Gallo and Kong.
Snell/Solo will be plug n play depending on matchups and foul trouble.

The problem for Gallo is he always wants to be a team first guy so he will not look for his own shot while deferring for a long time. Then sometimes he gets tired of deferring and just starts taking shots that he normally would not take.

Individual players aside I would like to see more ball movement. I see 1 on 1 shots. I see 2 man games. Both are important but if more players get touches even if they are not shots it keeps them mentally involved.

I feel like something is missing at times but I would be lying if I knew for sure what it is.

yep, way too much iso with the bench players. There was a game recently where i counted 4 straight possessions where only one person touched the ball. That style of play doesn't work for teams with superstars, it sure isn't going to work for our bench players.

I agree about Gallo. On Monday he made probably the dumbest pass all season when he passed up a wide open 3 to try and hit Collins cutting to the hoop. Collins wasn't even watching as he was focused on getting into rebounding position (as he should be when Gallo as the ball all alone at the 3pt line). Moving the ball is good, but not at the expense of our best shooters passing up wide open catch and shoot opportunities.

The bench doesn't have the same pop as the starters and that starts with Trae - he plays with a purposed pace, he gets in the lane with ease, Lou can't beat his guy off the dribble anymore, the bench overall isn't as speedy as the starters.

the answer is obvious....a point guard.

That would not hurt. I'd like to see more guys involved in each sequence even if they do not shoot.

That is a good point. Not only about penetration but maybe by getting the ball up court faster they can have more time on offense.

Goodwin may be a good option to infuse some of that into the 2nd unit.

I'd rather give Dunn a run. Seems really shortsighted of Nate to give up on Dunn so soon given our total lack of other options.
