Message: [QUOTE="SubbaBub, post: 3411087, member: 523"] 1. Take better shots, i.e., shots you are comfortable taking and make regularly. Don't take off balance shots, don't take shots from anywhere on the floor, don't take wild shots (much improved on the last one.) Looking at the last game, Houston's players almost always had their feet set and went straight up to shoot. We are leaning, shuffling, and slow to get the ball in a shooting position. It affects the percentage. 2. AG can't dominate the ball, especially late. The sample size is just too large at this point to think any other way. This is different from him not playing as much (silly) or not starting (ridiculous). Broken play, go for it. Defense rotates into a mismatch, go for it. Transition, go for it. In standard half court sets? Take two dribbles and pass it. Don't think about it, just do it. He just looks like he is overthinking, like he needs to carry the offense. We have a lot of pieces who can do good things. Way more than we have two years ago. We can actually get points from all five spots on the floor and three/four deep on the bench. I really think that's all that's missing after watching these last 5 games. Sure, we could use better players, players more comfortable at this speed and intensity, players used to winning who expect to win every game, but for sloppy play at the worst possible times, we are hanging with Top 25 teams on the road.
