Message: [QUOTE="DogMania, post: 5181616, member: 21"] I can't remember in which thread it was, but I commented about how our bigs are often receiving the ball around the foul line with a whole bunch of real estate between them and the basket and weren't even turning around looking to score. Seems the staff recognized that with Johnson on that play and I think Reed even looked for some offense in that soft area of the D. Still would like to see a little more of that where our bigs take one or two power dribbles towards the basket and either knock down a close mid-range shot or take it right to the basket to draw some fouls along with some And-1s. They're both capable of scoring at a solid clip inside the foul line. Just a small wrinkle to their motion offense since I think teams are defending it a little better now that they've seen it a number of times, though this year's roster doesn't seem to execute it particularly well creating good scoring opportunities like they did last year.
