We really are not that great of a passing team. Specifically when it comes to finding the big guy on the block. It seems that only Miller, Fernandez and Howard are capable of consistantly feeding either Greg or Joel in an area and in rythym where they can do something with the ball. Granted tonight Greg struggled on the offensive end. At least 6 or 7 times he had great position tonight where he could have easily scored and got into an offensive groove but he was ignored.
Its like watching a pitcher stare down the catcher and shake him off the pitch being called. I think this tends to actually lead to more turnovers because the next time the Big gets the ball, even in a poor position to score, they are anxious and try to do too much because they feel that they will never see the rock again. It also does not reward their hard work.
Travis and Brandon seem to be the two tonight who either were unwillling or incapable of feeding the post.
We need more focused plays to get the ball in the post. Change it up a bit. Don't advertise to the other team we are setting a post entry pass from the wing. Spread the floor, set a couple back picks to give the ball to Oden low on the block. But JESUS MAN! Make this some kind of priority!
