Amen.. the constant 20-footers and seeing them clang off the rim was frustrating to watch. Brandon attacked a lot, but just didn't finish or get the calls when he was hacked. Channing Frye just jacked up shots at will, and kept missing. There needs to be some kind of motion with our offense toward the hoop, and not just motion to get someone an open 18-foot jump shot. Makes me remember what Barkley said last year, this team has trouble getting easy baskets and layups, and is mostly a jump-shooting team.
Perhaps, but at least we had a competitive lineup on paper with him. Sans Oden, we're back to being the same flawed team as last year, and that won't get it done in this early stretch.
Brandon Roy was the player setting up the offense in the half-court set. Blake spent a lot of time in the corner jacking up shots. This is why Roy/Bayless will work. Jerryd is a better defender and scorer than Blake.
