Our Offense

1. Watch DJ dribble
2. DJ gives ball up
3. Player shoots contested shot
4. No Rebound
5. Repeat

A substantial difference in flow and execution when Justin took the point.

We just don't move w/o the ball much, unless DJ doesn't have the ball. (We move on the perimeter to set screens, but there sure does seem to be a lot of standing around in or near the paint.)

Well, if "that point" is about 10 minutes into the game, then yes, I agree.

I really think the difference is just field goal percentage.....I wasn't that angry with our offense at all....when we started hitting our open shots, we had a great 2nd half.

I was angry about our offensive rebounding. We were out of position all night and that is unacceptable.

If we are going to miss shots (~25% fga in first half) we have to get the rebound. We had no second chances and this is one of the reasons we were down much of the game.

I'm used to it and I don't expect it to change. Therefore, I accept it.

I'm pretty sure that Barnes is an excellent coach, and the results over the years pretty much validate that suspicion. From what I am able to glean from my vantage point, I surmise that Barnes places a premium on defense. I'm sure that it drives him as crazy as anyone else when his guys can't hit ****, lose concentration, turn the ball over, commit silly fouls, etc.

I guess that's just the way it is.
