    I don't know if its a timing issue or a play calling issue but a lot of the off ball screens just aren't connecting in a way to allow players like Shae to get the ball in a position to succeed. They keep getting the ball under pressure and trying to make something out of nothing....

    Chauncey needs to involve Clingon a lot more on offense. Setting picks, and setting more picks to get his teammates open. also taking open 3-pointers, and getting Clingan better opportunities to score at the hoop.
    Just stationing Clingan near the hoop is wasting a lot of what Clingan can do.

    I didn't even mention Clingan's passing because Chauncey's offense has made us forget that it even exists.

    We need to teach DC to make the two handed outlet pass to mid court like Walton used to do. Instead we have these point guards dribbling full speed up court out of control. Ball moves faster than running and dribbling.

    some of passing is innate, but some of it can be learned (at least the method you pass).

    He (DC) has a good foundation, I think there are times when he is still playing like he thinks he's going against college kids.

    I would bet money that Clingan is a better 3-point shooter than Camara.

    Simons is not the worst offender tonight, but it's crazy how everyone else just seems to play much worse with him on the floor.

    Yes, that was a head-scratcher.

    Hyperbole aside, Tou is shooting 41% from 3.

    Have you actually seen DC in the low post and get a pass. Drives me crazy always at the top of key in the offense from our coach. We could use some variation every once in awhile in our offense.

    This feels like another game where Chauncey needs to drop a few colorful metaphors on them

    DC on the bench looks pissed and I like that -- he shows he cares and plays like it unlike some on this team.
