can we all see what this guy can do from deep? Can we stop missing this dude so often when he is wide open from beyond the arc?

can we stop with all the stupid posting and stretch the damn floor?

Enough with the old school bull shyt all game and opening it up at the end like tom coughlin.

KP is potentially one of the best 3 point shooters in the game

Thought it was interesting when they gave the 3 pt pctge of other euros as rookies. He is a threat from anywhere on the court. He had some nice moves when he put the ball on the floor.

yeah but those moves were scary. Him stretching the floor will open up everything. We have to burn defenders like zaza gabor

I agree. The post play is much maligned

But I think our best lineup will be KP at center and Melo at PF. Take it from me, I'm in my 40's and I rather play a bigger stronger guy than a guy my size or smaller / younger / quicker. Even better, if we had a superstar that actually played PF like Aldrige, thats even better.

We need to play KP and Melo more often at the center and pf positions, instead of waiting until we are down. It gives us more offense at all 5 positions, without giving up rim protection.

Well Melo is having a bad year and putting up Aldridge type efficiency while rebounding great as a 3. If they wanted too they could get away with it by subbing Lopez out earlier. That makes to much sense though to pair Melo with a rim protector who also stretched the floor and pair a PnR big with a PnR pg(Lopez/Grant).

But again, when will Fisher grow some balls and just put the best offensive lineup on the floor for most of the game, and see if that makes a difference.

Why would he do that rather than put the best defensive lineup on the floor for most of the game, or the most balanced offense/defense lineup on the floor?

At first, I thought the problem was Fisher......now I think the real problem is Fisher working in Phil's shadow. I think Fisher is trying too hard to coach like Phil, instead of adapting to the roster at hand.

When your mentor, who taught you everything you know about winning championships, gives 14 mil to Lopez, you almost have no choice but to start him. Lopez and O'quinn are 1980's centers....In todays game, they are backup players most of the time, due to the speed of the game, and the offensive challenges to put the ball in the hole.

But I thought Melo was going to hold KP back....when in fact I think it's Lopez thats causing the offensive problems. He's taking up space on the offensive end that should go to at least 5 other players first.....

KP
Melo
AA
Seraphin

KP, Melo, AA are players that score from everywhere on the floor. When Lopez is in the game, this reduces the real estate and minimizes their opportunities. Thats why Lopez usually has nobody to pass it to, because his man sags off, guarding the passing lanes. When any of the 4 guys above have the ball in the post, there are more passing lanes, due to double teams. If no double comes, thats a bucket.

I like Lopez and think he's a needed asset. But it's clear that KP is not a normal rookie and he needs that floor space. It also gives Melo and AA room to operate in the post, where Melo can score over SF's.....

But again, when will Fisher grow some balls and just put the best offensive lineup on the floor for most of the game, and see if that makes a difference. I want to see KP start at center, so he can bring the other big out of the paint....create more space.....and use his quickness against slower centers.

rolo is slow but a modern player. He is much better suited for PnR then this stupid triangle and having him in the high post. His efficiency has tanked this season, is that him or the system that we are forcing him into?

Its also because of a number of other factors but it seems like this offense kills bigs efficiency unless you have an all world guard that can wreak havoc on defenses and create wide open looks for your bigs.

You know what we did during that run? We threw that ugly triangle sh1t in the garbage and ran PnR every time down.

Thats what he's doing now. Thats why Lopez and KP are starting. He's following Phil's twin tower phylosophy, which works on defense, but doesn't work on offense. Time to try something else. We a center thats a 2 way player, which is what you want in your triangle. 1 way players doesn't work on both ends.

The twin-tower line up can work; however, KP is the one who should be in the post with Rolo roaming. RoLo is a turnover waiting to happen; thus, our dudes must abstain from force feeding him the ball. This dude must always look to crash the board instead of trying to score from the post. In the post we need to utilize KP more, because he is smart enough to know that he must use different moves to be a force on offense. The dude can drive and shoot.

In the second half, fisher should look to push the tempo by keeping RoLo on the bench and start Lance.
