Message: [QUOTE="Umami Zen, post: 5175939, member: 10678"] Gotta play with the guys we have. I would like to see hustle plays and gaining possession of the ball(on D) as a priority. Can't score without ball possession. Grabbing loose balls-getting in passing lanes-team rebounding emphasis-simply keeping your guy in front of you. Effort stuff not talent stuff. Can't tell you how many times over the last 5 games where one of our defenders is isolated-side cleared out with not even PnR action- and our help D has their backs to the action. No chance at help D if they go to the bucket. If the counterpoint is you've got to stay on your guy to run him off the 3 point line(a kick out pass) -our Bigs are simply not offering any rim resistance/defense to help our guys being iso'ed. Telfort/Neal as examples. Nuts and bolts-Not sophisticated defensive schemes. [/QUOTE]
