He had a lineup of Seraphin, D.Williams, Thomas, Galloway, Grant and spread the floor out. Allowed Grant to run PNR with space with Seraphin. Or if that got stuffed they switched off to a post feed with Seraphin who also has been a willing passer so far.

D.Williams contributed because he got playing time and put in a very good effort getting to the basket and causing problems which we haven't gotten from him in a while.

If Fisher continues to match lineups to players strengths and skills set then we will be more successful, if he doesn't then we won't.

you have it backwards.

he is trying to get everyone to run the triangle more and more of the time. if that results in more losses this year for the sake of longer term success then we as fans will have to live with that. these are simply growing pains and most so-called fans want immediate gratification. it's not that fisher is clueless and incompetent.

an nba franchise is not a speedboat it's a tanker.

if we need to take a step back to takes steps forward then I am all for it. My gut is that this is not going to work here and that we will be ditching the triangle at some point.
