Message: [QUOTE="August_West, post: 4900846, member: 1047"] They have, and I love Cam's response to it. He accepts it, doesn't force anything and keeps running through all the sets full bore as a decoy which is really opening the lane up for Steph and also giving Clingan and cutters a lot of space to operate. And because he is a patient, composed, willing passer we are getting great stuff out of it. Teams picking their poison against us is a lot less effective than it could be at times last season and was earlier this year. The Creighton loss was obvious that it was gameplanned heavily against Cam and Alex on the 3 line as McDermott is smart enough to know that if those 2 start lighting it from deep things get ugly in a hurry, so he wanted to challenge us to beat them by death by a thousand cuts (aka mid range shots) and we weren't up for it. Kalk in drop coverage as usual but the guards staying over and connected to the shooters every screen. We had a ton of room around the foul line and elbows. We adjusted well and recognized that we were being given mid range but man, I've never seen so many front rimmed floaters and mid jumpers front Steph, Cam, and Tristen, although at least Tristen started to make hay with it as the 2nd half wore on. Even with all that, it still took the shooting night of a magical herd of unicorns to beat us. It's a bold bet thinking you can take BOTH Karaban and Spencer out of a game. It worked for them in that singular instance. All a long winded way of saying that they all can continue to focus on Cam but if Alex gets back on track its game over. For EVERYONE. [/QUOTE]
