Why oh why does our team think that his post production is a fluke??? I dunno maybe its me, maybe I'm reading too much into things. I just hate that this team wont call his number with confidence, the boy is murder on the block. |
Just to review, JMAX had Hunter as the point guard for about 6 of his first 8 minutes on the floor. The right things don't get done with Hunter running the point.
Oh, and JMAX absolutely should start, and his post up game be featured to start games. When JMAX sits, Amir should be out there posting away. We basically have no excuse at all not to posting up all game long.
Dyess has to post up more when he plays. The more fouls he draws, the easier it will be for Amir and JMAX to score in the post. I would say the same for Sheed, but actually he does post up quite a bit. The problem there is he has to go more toward up and under moves and such to draw fouls rather than just shooting over people. But he is so good at shooting those short jumpers over people, how can you tell him to quit. It will take work.
Along with that, Rip has to take it inside as much as possible, ditto for Billups. People may not like the results sometimes, but those results often include drawing fouls. Basically, the whole team needs to have the same theme. Go inside, get them into foul trouble. Afflalo and Stuckey will help a lot in this too.
