CJ inefficienct again and playing matador with screens.
 
Pretty much if it wasn't for Nik, Zach and Caleb this team would be down by 30.
 
CJ inefficienct again and playing matador with screens.

This is what he does. Then at some point he'll knock down 4 or 5 straight difficult shots and even out his percentage.
 
I like Stotts as a guy, but I really hated that right after the pelican series' they made it clear he's staying. He is a very average coach in my opinion, but we've seen this stuff so many times. Why not try someone else and see what they have to offer. I wish so badly we could see what this team would look like with a different coach...
 
Any good small ball team with good reach just slaughters us. They go theough Nuek like swiss cheese. How the hell does Terry not see this shit and make adjustments? Scoring more doesn't fo anything

I'm absolutely baffled that he still never makes any adjustments to the things teams do when they decide they want to shut us down and also get easy baskets. It's been the same shit since his first year here. Still can't defend pick and rolls. Still don't know what to do if Dame gets doubled. Just keep running a screen out for Dame at 35 feet so he can get doubled while everyone watches him.
 
A pacers fan from redditt: "they didn't Call a timeout the whole Time lmao"...

No, of course not. That would require Stotts to be a good coach.

Dame needs to get his shit together 2nd half.

They're doubling him every time he touches the ball. And we have no answer for that, as usual.

Terry needs to fucking go next off-season. This just isn't acceptable.
 
The way the 1st unit Stotts might have to shake things up in that group. They don't play together very well on either end. You your guards taking majority of the shots. But in the defense the other 3 guys playing like shit. I like the 2nd unit a lot they play together really will.
 
Is it me but Dame and Cj are never on fire during the same game

Its funny because itnseemed to be improving in the preseason and now its reverted back to how its always been.

Where's the ball movement?
Why aren't we running in transition?
Where's the player movement?
Why isn't Dame being used off the BALL?
Why can't we switch defensive coverages according to matchups and to keep the other teams offense off-balance?

Totally agree. Our bench is better than our starters
 
I get when shots aren't falling, but this team completely pretty lost when Meyers was put in. That's on Stotts. Same with the turnover issues. This team never plays with composure, which is a reflection of the coaching.

Ball movement ceases to exist with both Dame and CJ on the floor. Whichever has the ball primarily looks to score off the dribble and everyone else stands on the perimeter or sets a ball screen.

No they aren't, but they're better than other team's benches...
Also I still am not 100% on the Collins bandwagon, but he definitely deserves to starting over Aminu at this point... Maybe Even Nurkic lol...

Stop, you're making too much sense. Terry's head will explode.
 
He was ALWAYS a mediocre coach, his entire career. Did we REALLY hate McMillan so much that we wanted to put up with this shit for 5 years?
 
Is it too early to start a draft thread and hope for the lottery? ;)

I'd rather put up with Stotts coaching than McMillans.

Dame is being used off the ball, but I don't really think that's his game (not that he can't do it), also I think the ball movement is still better than last years. Everything else I agree.
 
5 Fast Break Points
7 Assists

Explains everything.
