i'm still flabbergasted that marbury and francis have no idea how to get the ball to a post player. they just hold the ball. it's absolutely retarded. simply retarded.
Even Curry was talking about it in post game interview. Said he can't see what the guards are seeing but he feels open and doesn't understand why he isn't getting the ball.
It was absurd when late in the fourth Eddy was backing down on single coverage down and Steph called him to the perimeter for a screen that he didn't use. He passed off the the center arc when if he took it baseline Eddy's defender would have collapsed and Eddy would be free for an easy dish in rhythm.
I'm having a hard time to discern if this stagnant offense is a result of Steph's legs, him being inebriated from his recent "green light" staus, his limited understanding of what Isiah wants (when he doesn't even look at his coach calling for time with 30 secs you have to wonder), or this
is Isiah's system in spite of it not really working for Eddy for some weeks now.
The thing is Marbury could at least set up Nazr with some shuttle passes off penetrations, and Eddy has far better hands and power than Naz, yet we see none of that. Nowadays Marbury seems camped on the perimeter, or when he penetrates it's all the way by himself.
He's really been in the zone for scoring, his shot has been money, but are we seeing the return of Starbury, who wants to do it all alone?
