Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 3864133, member: 833"] My issues with Hurley go beyond his lineups. I think the numbers are impacted by the fact that we are simultaneously a dribble drive team while also loving 3's and doing it all out of 4 and 5 out sets. We end up with a lot of 3's off the dribble, which are lower percentage than 3's off the catch. Look at Cole if you want to see the difference. We also end up with a lot of kamikaze drives into the trees, especially in the pick-and-roll, which is why we suck so bad at the rim. The first look on the p-n-r needs to be to the screener. Hit the screener a few times and the penetration will be there for the guards. Hurley has an old school offensive style but runs it out of a 4 out or 5 out set. I am fine with an old school style, but he needs an old school lineup with forwards at the basket getting dump offs and put backs. The lineups and style and formations don't quite fit together. And the numbers support that. [/QUOTE]
