Terry Stotts at halftime: great ball movement guys. Now, I want you to go out there and start hucking up 3s before the shotclock gets to 20. Break!
 
If this was a high school team the coach would tell the team you have to pass 5 times before you can shoot and I don't care if we even get a shot at this point. Just to prove a point.

So ISO is the best strategy instead of ball movement against good defenses?

Depends on who you talk to. There are merits to both sides of the agrument. Guys like D'Antoni would say that isolation allows you to control your best player taking a shot or making a play for someone else. Other coaches prefer letting the defense take something away and you take what is left.

Over a large sample size, there hasn't been no correlation between winning and assist or isolation percentage, so it's tough to make a case that one way is more effective than another.
 
Blazers fans right now

That is not a fucking foul, that is fucking ridiculous. Patterson went up in the air. Whiteside had his elbow at his side and Patterson came down on it.

And they reviewed it as a possible flagrant on Whiteside!

History says teams that are higher in assists are the teams that win championships. Blazers only Championship, was a clinic in ball movement. Houston is the exception (and haven't won anything playing like that) because Harden shoots endless FT's (24 tonight)

I'm sorry but if this is your view you obviously aren't watching or paying attention to the games. This team thrives when the ball is moving. It relies on Dame, CJ, Hood, and now Melo to make tough shots when going ISO. The game doesn't have to be that difficult.
 
I wonder if the Blazers front office is starting to get embarrassed that every time we are on TV all they ever talk about is our lack of ball movement?
 
Blazers getting blown out....and Kawhi is 3-14.

I've never seen the data on that, but it makes sense. It would actually make sense to me that assists and offensive product would be closely linked, but they're not.

I've always thought the best way to predict who will win an NBA championship is to find out which teams have one of the five best players in the league or two of the top ten. Talent is king in the NBA, but that isn't a fun narrative.
 
I use get down on Dame and CJ about there iso. But now there playing Stotts system on offense. Now I not completely bail out our guards by do what they do but it more a system the reason why because Simons does the samething when he in there.
 
When do more crappy teams show up so we can pad our win total and land smack in the middle of NBA Purgatory?

He's not known for his ability to coach defense. However, the comment was about offensive strategy. D'Antoni has consistently had teams ranked high on offensive productivity.
