Message: [QUOTE="kingtidge, post: 5692415, member: 994"] One thing he really needs to fix... On his basket drives and layups/short shots, he almost always releases the ball in the air, feet hit the ground, and he purposely falls to the deck looking to sell an and1 foul ... The problem is, 1. There is often no foul, and 2. If he misses these short shots (like yesterday's game), he concedes any rebound opportunity he could have for put-back by falling to the floor... and is on his arse out of play in the transition going the other way. It's soft and not good aggressive offensive play. That has to stop. The fact Red hasn't done anything about it is reason 1,765 on his list of coaching problems. That sort of thing would get you yanked and sat under JB... and a stern doghouse talking-to once your arse hit the pine... Those teachable moments don't appear to be happening under Red, tho he is talking about softness and effort in the pressers now at least... day late and dollar short... [/QUOTE]
