Per Cincy's post (and photos), I think the main problem with our (half court) offense is that we don't feed the interior guys. Fab's drawing doubles sometimes, but he often gets the defender on his hip and calls for the ball -- they just don't throw it to him. Same with X-mas.. how many times has he begged for the ball?

Yes we get it inside when the guards penetrate -- DW is great at this, along with Triche and Scoop. But you can't always penetrate. We have to be able to PASS the ball inside (as opposed to dribbling it) to establish better balance and give our outside guys some room to shoot.

2 years ago we had AO to do this. Last year we had Rick. Both guys got position, called for the ball and received it. It's just not happening yet this year and it's very frustrating ... small wonder we're not shooting that well from the outside -- since we don't feed the post, defenders cheat out on us and we're stuck with contested shots.
I wish JB would tell the guards not to shoot or dribble for 5 minutes. Pound the ball inside and let Fab and X-mas develop their games.
