But the good news is Bup-Bup and Stuck are taking it to the hole now and we are wiining at the right time.
The bench couldn't do that in the 64 win season.
I'm not talking about iso's in the paint and waiting to see "Dream Shakes" against other teams.

What I'm saying is that in our "guard oriented" offense, our screens use to lead to drives. But now, they result in the screener and the screenie both fading back to 20 ft in opposite directions. Double teams on Sheed in the post used to result in 2 or 3 other guys cutting the lane for dump off passes. Not just an abandonment of all attempts to post the ball (which still haven't resurfaced even WITH the departure of the malcontent). For all the talk of "moving the ball," this team looks a lot like it did during the Cola era, but without the suffocating defense. A lot of passes around the perimeter leading to, surprisingly, a jumper.
