Message: [QUOTE="Chief00, post: 4198567, member: 11108"] Another night, we hit the 10 minute mark and have 10-13 points and Sanogo in foul trouble. Last night Sanogo plays 25 minutes and Whaley 37, that’s a problem as Whaley scores 2 points and goes 1-6. Sanogo collects 11 points, going 3-6. If we have 5 guys with Isiah’s production, we are scoring 10 -12 points a game as a team. It’s insanity. 2 points in 37 minutes, doesn’t work. The starting lineup needs to be revamped - At least Gaffney, Hawkins and Polley have the potential to hit some shots. However, Polley can't create on his own and by the time he comes in Sanogo goes to bench with fouls. Therefore, there’s not the collapse defense that would give him and Hawkins space. Meanwhile, we pretend we have a stretch 4. We need to start: Sanogo Cole Martin/Jackson Gaffney Hawkins/Polley Yes, there is nothing wrong with going with a hot hand and with this team Chief is not going to pretend I know who he is ahead of time. I do know Gaffney gives us another ball handler and penetrator. Sanogo with the current starting lineup gets straight up doubled - the opponent doesn’t even try to disguise where it is coming from. We need to run and pressure on defense but not with a 6-10 230 pd guy chasing point guards 25 feet from the basket. Two PG ball handlers gives us another dimension and makes our offensive less predictable and limited. As much as we handicap ourselves with the starting lineup opening 10 minutes of Rock Fight, we still almost win. Eliminate that torture and we start beating good teams consistently. [/QUOTE]
