I've never loved iso ball. Hated late 90s nba, feed the low post, stand around and watch stuff. Havin said that, I agree, it has it's place. We weren't complaining about it when Johnny Flynn was breaking everyone down, so it'd be wrong to s--t on it entirely. That said, I'm not sure the Howard/Battle/Brissett/Dolezaj/Chuckwu group was ideally suited for iso any more than offensive sets encouraging motion. I think the answer is that they were simply not great offensively. Pretty tough on the defensive end but just not great offensively.

The bolded part is the most intriguing aspect of that RU game. That was a pretty solid defensive team, we were short-handed, played OK but not incredibly and still put up 69 and were in the game. Of all the stuff that has happened so far, that is the most positive thing we've seen, IMO. If sidibe helps even out those rebounding numbers and Buddy helps out offensively a bit, we have a chance to be a very solid team -- top 5 acc, potentially. That would be a welcome sight.
