[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 533874, member: 2784"] Shot doesn't have to be a 3. It can be a curl or a flair screen to his favorite spot. Or a screen to get a mismatch and drive. Something that gets the ball in his hands at a place he is highly likely to have success. My issue is he tends to blend in and not be as aggressive as I had hoped/wished he would be. I take that as a confidence issue (could well be wrong) and the general approach is to try to get him a good shot in rhythm, etc. to "get him off". Most teams have a play or set of plays to get their scorers good looks when they need it - recognizing most of the points come off of general sets or transition as you are saying. I've stolen a couple of the ones Golden State uses with Durant but they are all not for 3 point shots - didn't mean that. When your 2 off guards play 35 and 30 min respectively and only put up 10 shots between them - combined for 16 points between them - it is really hard to win games. It isn't about shooting percentage, it is about scoring. We certainly don't have the front court to make up for that. So my overall point is that I think CJP needs to find ways to force feed them shots that get them confidence and scoring. Until they become the focus of our scoring, we are going to remain totally dependent on holding teams to surrealistically low scoring levels. And just to be clear - I don't consider this some sort of fatal flaw looking for the AD to push the nuclear button. Simply something like putting in the 3 out offense for Moses which he eventually did after I barked about it for a while :):whistle: [/QUOTE]
