Message: [QUOTE="DogMania, post: 2982711, member: 21"] I don't know where to start. Instead of getting better as a season goes, the team seems to be regressing. Their half-court offense doesn't seem very imaginative and I think Hurley should change it up more often throughout the game. They ran this weave at the top that was completely ineffective today. It's been pretty much agreed that our front Court is not very productive offensively. Doesn't seem like there's much of a fix for that. But what drives me crazy are the stupid fouls that Carlton picks up every game. He often does something really stupid right after they lose possession of the ball. I'm not sure what they can do to fix things. The only thing I'd like to see them do a little bit more is to run plays that can free up some good square up threes, even if they're deep. Adams, Vital and Gilbert all have really good range. It's also important to drive the ball into the paint to draw fouls, but they turn the ball over at such an alarming rate and aren't very good at finishing in traffic. So I guess I'm at a loss as to what this team can do to improve things. I think the fundamental problem is they simply lack talent. Sometimes you can make up for a lack of talent with good execution and chemistry but they show very little of that. They're only two games into conference play, but things look quite alarming so far.
