Who’s shooting threes is also important.  Just because you’re open doesn’t mean you should shoot.  Petar and Davis should not be shooting threes.  I don’t care if they‘re open.  Red keeps saying their three point shooting is getting better.  That’s not good enough.There’s a reason they’re open.  Our offense needs to work inside out and not east to west.  This team can’t just go out and pressure the ball.  They don‘t have the skills or desire to do it.  Play the ball tough and everyone else should be in help position. We’re giving up too much space between the ball.  Our gaps are bad. Eddie should not be playing defense outside of 15 feet.  You’re just asking for him to get beat or pick up ticky tack  fouls.  We need Eddie on the offensive end.  One of my pet peaves  is watching a corner three point shot being attempted and our opposite corner guy just stands there.  They don’t go to the offensive glass or get back on defense. Bell just runs to his corner and is oblivious to anything else happening on the court. When closing out on defense you need to have a system in place.  Take away their strong hand and where do you want to force the ball with help waiting?  I see no plan. Do we force baseline?  Do we force middle? Do we go above screens, switch on the perimeter, hedge and recover, or trap? I see no plan. I’d love to see a practice to see what our plan is.  Whatever it is it’s not working or do we not have a plan.  That’s even scarier.
