Celtics are leaving JJ open but playing tight coverage on Bogi.

I hate Greg Anthony for some reason.  I also hate Mr fake enthusiasm who's with him.  Wish I could listen to Bawb.

JJ has to make them pay. He doesn't necessarily have to shoot since can put the ball on the floor and pass. He can hurt them either way.

The Hawks are not gonna do it but if I was the head coach,  next season I'm switching to the triangle offense and implementing pinch posts and Iverson cuts to my offense.  It gets the forwards and the two guard involved in a spacing offense that still incorporates elements of the pick and roll that Young likes. 

The reason is this offense makes everything soo hard.  There is no spacing and relies too much on precision shooting vs the offense I want which spaces the floor and makes the defense work to keep up with the flow of the offense.  Its a complicated offense but one that the Hawks have the players to run.  You wear out the opponent's defense and it takes energy out of the opponent's offense.

 

What team runs the triangle in today's NBA?  Do one of the playoff teams run that action?

I see that but it doesn't mean that 28% shooter should take every open look. They're leaving him alone for a reason

I have them suckas on mute....listening to Steve Holman on radio...synced up perfectly

The Celtics are so diverse on offense. Hunter doing well on Tatum but Brown, Williams, Smart all gwt theirs too.

It's like playing whack a mole only you can't whack them all.

Much less probing, more spacing and threatening from the corner.

Quin keeps telling them...shoot when you are open...he's doing as instructed.

Yeah, failing to shoot it negatively impacts everyone.

Haha, get out the way OO...

You see many pro athletes pack it in after they get the bag.  Bogi has a renewed spirit since he got his last one.
