[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 973684, member: 2784"] At the start of the game seemed to me we played a "basic" 4 out scheme with the 5 coming out to set a high ball screen top of the key and rolling. The rest of the team was well spaced but not a lot of movement. We ended up with a lot of passes to the roll and not a lot of passing out of that. Dowuona was especially bad at turn overs off the roll recognizing I loved his energy on both the pick and roll. It brought help from the wings. If we didn't do the roll, we made one pass to the wing and looked to drive and shoot. Point being we were not really moving the ball much and there was a lot of one on one leading to forced/contested shots. IMHO that was the reason for the slow start on offense. Things changed when 1) Claude was getting the ball on the roll and instead of turning it over he played under control and hit the open wings when the help came 2) Sturdivant came in and facilitated both a lot more ball movement but also more uptempo and 3) CDS started using a different set that had a couple of down screens along with a curl action. We got a lot more open movement to the basket and a few easier baskets off this look. Once the ball started moving a bit more and we got a few points in transition off of the D, the shooting got a lot better. I thought the defense was reasonably good most of the night. On the perimeter we were generally in the gaps providing help and especially in the second half got a lot of steals with active hands as GS guys tried to drive. My one worry on D was we were not great at rim protection. Claude is a good rebounder but not a shot blocker. But he definitely was the choice for O. Going forward I expect we will see a lot more of Sturdivant to facilitate ball movement and I hope we see some additional sets beyond the basic pro look high ball screen and space the floor we started out with. Get folks and the ball moving. But still a great start [/QUOTE]
