    IDEA: Let Layman (6 inches taller than CJ and a better defender) guard their best offensive player in Hield instead of C.J. guard their "SF" who's essentially a mid-sized SG in Iman Shumpert (6'5) who isn't anywhere near as much of a threat.

    Coaching.

    I don't have to, all I have to do is rewatch the 1st half.

    Careful, people will point out that a few times CJ was guarding someone else.

    Silly @BonesJones ....that would require an in-game adjustment. :biglaugh: We know how good Stotts is at those.

    They get it to Layman and he gets a three point play. Maybe do more of that, hunh?

    I like emptying out a side of the floor for Dame. Good job Stotts!

    Oh wait, Dame just did his own thing instead of running a Horns set that was called for the 30th time tonight.

    The normally mild-mannered Jake Layman is showing more fire than the rest of the team. Needs to play Dame minutes this half....

    He won't though.

    You could use him as a curling threat to free up better looks for the rest of the offense too.

    I think Layman is exactly the wing we are looking for.

    Wasn't Neil claiming him as a PF in the future?

    Imagine if he was freed up to shoot and attack without having to worry about being taken out of the game if he misses?

    If I see CJ shoot one more goddamn shot and brick it, I'm going to slap a homeless man.

    I think we're really good in transition. Maybe we should try running in transition more?

    Just an idea. Then again, I'm not an NBA coach.
