I.D.I.O.T. - Offensive Inefficiency

What exactly is the Udoka offense? Where are all the Popovich screens that generate easy baskets? Udoka won a ring as an assistant with Pop - he saw first hand how successful motion and multiple screens are. Parker and Ginobili working off 3 sometimes 4 screens to get open looks. Here we have Fred/Sengun PNR and a bunch of chucking. Its absurd especially when you know you have a bad outside shooting team and yet he still tries to hammer the round peg into the square hole. The issues go WAY beyond Jalen Green being unplayable.

 

Nobody wanted to really believe that Freddy and Dillon were huge chuckers with their previous teams.

 

Clearly it's because of Sengun's defense

 

Any warm body would be a good coach when they have Tatum and Brown to defer to.

edit: BOS slipped from 1st overall D to 5th - not exactly a "we miss Udoka" sign.

 

This dude had one coaching season and he went to the Finals but before that he had one of the most inefficient Offenses......

He showed he can coach in Playoff series but getting there without Tatum&Brown is the key.

Imma just say it .......Smallest Sample Size.

 

I expected an improvement on defense, but the defense has far exceeded my expectations.
Offense has been about what I expected from a roster like this. Not much offensive talent whatsoever. Only 1 player above league average efficiency in the starting lineup(Sengun) and he’s just barely over.

 

If you remember, this was my concern when they signed FVV and Brooks.... what's funny is that they are both having career best or near career best seasons when it comes to scoring efficiency... yet they are still on this list.

 

Paying max to FVV and $90 mil to Brooks. wooohoooooo

 

Well I can assure you IME isn't concerned. Jalen Green is here to stay bub.

 

They fixed the defense. Now, we need to fix the offense over the next 1-2 seasons by... A.) Moving on from Fred, Jalen, and Dillon; B.) Bringing in 2-3 shooters this offseason.

Bonus C.) Bringing in some more rim projection on top of Adams (need to keep Adams + add 1-2 younger bigs).

 

4 of our 5 starters are there. Notice who isn't there? This is expected though. Fred tries the most ridiculous layups you would ever see in your life. Guy tries to finish over 6'10s 6'11s every single night. The ball touches the ceiling of the arena and doesn't go in as expected. Brooks likes attacking to the rim but has terrible touch so he literally shoots it to the glass instead of finger rolling it. Jalen keeps getting blocked and he can't finish either. Our offense literally sucks gorilla ass. Other than Sengun post up we don't have any go to play. Nothing else works consistently. Sengun post up and Fred 3 is our entire offense.

 

Correct.

We have to install a system that is built for the long haul.

 

the one who doesn't shoot 3s and jumpshots. he has no reason to be there when gets most of his shots at the rim so he better not be there

 

I have to remind myself that the Spurs were a 40% 3pt shooting TEAM --- sigh.

 

While that list is kind of alarming, you also need to be aware that it is just measuring overall FG%. FVV and Brooks are both decent-to-good 3pt shooters, and both take more 3s than 2s per game. That drags their FG% down while actually making them more effective shooters.
