But that comes to the crux of the matter... by this time in the year you are who you are and we are a really poor jump shooting team which means that we probably won't make a few shots... so what's plan B? Why do we continue to just jack up jumpers early in the shot clock when it clearly doesn't work?  There are so many possessions where two people touch the ball and we settle for a jumper without ever making the D work.  There are two ways to control tempo, one way which everyone focuses on is by racheting up the pressure on D and forcing tempo that way, the other way which we never talk about is by playing controlled on offense and exploring all options before settling for a jumper.  I'm not saying we should play slo-ball and hold the ball for 30 seconds but is asking for patience from our veteran team and hall of fame coach too much to ask for?  And if you're response will be but but JB isn't on the court the players are, I agree with you, but he can control who is on the court.
 
This issue isn't new to this year, it's been happening for decades now. I get it he's a HoF coach, but it seems like groudhog's day when we lose to a team we should beat just about every year.
