besides being in shape, we need an offense that exploits his strengths.

It will also help if he doesn't lead with his shoulder on every post move.

this is what baffles me. An offense that exploits his strengths includes outside shooter who spread the floor, a post-up game with guys who know how to feed the post, and a slow-down game so that Curry can get set.

And I think Isiah is talking about running. Those 2 things really don't match.

Now, this is not to say that Curry can't move up the court for a big man, but in a PHO-style offense you take the first goood shot you see every time down the court, not wait for your post-up guy to find position.

Martin, it's mind boggling. If we are building an offense around Curry why have we only targeted guys that will do nothing but take the ball out of his hands. Instead we are turning into a role player that needs to rebound and block shots. Two things he does not focus on. It's weird how management goes out and builds a team. Not one consistent jumpshooter ont he roster.

What Isiah is describing sounds a lot like the Celtcis of the Bird era. A post-up game that had a very effective fastbreak.

Who are the decision makers running the fast break? Who are the rebounds and outlet passers that initiate the fast break? Who is going to feed the post?

The decision maker running the break? hmmm....It ain't Blubury since it is not his game. Maybe Francis or Nate?

Rebounds and outlet passers? Lee and Balkman

Who is going to feed the post? Boobury and Collins if he get PT.

If I listened to you guys I would believe that Steph can't do anything. He can't run a break, he can't get a big the ball, he can't do anything, he's just useless.

And none of our bigs can grab a board or pass the ball. This stuff isn't nearly is complicated as you guys would like to make it seem.

LOL. Nate can't run a Summer League offense no less an NBA up-tempo one. ANd Balkman and Collins ain't getting too much playing time IMHO. Franbury like to pound the ball and aren't the best at feeding the post. Better at pick-n-roll.
