Too much one-on-one

[Shooter]

When the Blazers play poorly, it's usually due to too much one-on-one play. Today was a classic example. Aldridge and Outlaw, to name just two, were looking for their own shots the whole game. When we're hitting those shots, it all looks great, but when we're missing, it's very ugly. The Hawks had great ball movement and were looking for each other all afternoon. The result was an easy win for them.

For such a "smart" team, with a good coach, I don't understand why we revert to this kind of selfish play. The Hawks completely embarrassed us, and it didn't have to happen.

I thought Nate's whole offense revolved around one-on-one?

Yup. Iso and kick.

Aldridge was ballin' in the 3rd, I don't blame him for going 1-on-1.

Yeah, he couldn't miss.
