I really don't like the way Hollins not only uses his rotations but also the way he and Bibby continue to have confidence in our backup guards jacking up outside shots. Reasons #123 and #124 that Lionel Hollins is rightfully unsigned through next season...
The saving grace for our team has always been the inside play. Not even just Gasol and Randolph, but Arthur is a also a guy who could start for most teams in the league and just happens to be behind the most stacked frontcourt in the league. Somehow Bayless still got 13 shots off tonight though.
I understand that situations can skew statistics, but really, the situations skewed our bigs' statistics the most today. Z-Bo didn't have too many post-up opportunities in this game, and a lot of times he or Marc would repost, but Conley would either force the issue himself or swing it out to Bayless/Pondexter/Dooling.
Any fan who has watched this team throughout the season, much less the team's own coach, should recognize that the team is taking too many perimeter shots and should work more inside-out than they did this game. Our inside play mostly came in a bail-out fashion, except in the third when the team finally decided to go to Gasol as a primary weapon. I don't get why every play doesn't run through him. I've been saying it all season long, he's a point-center, and if the ball touches his hands, it'll wind up in a scoring opportunity more times than not.
