Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 114165, member: 1423"] Foul-shooting is an old woe and has (IMO) little to do with our malaise in the half court. It comes down to two things: 1) we're not feeding the post. This makes us unbalanced and we have to rely on penetration or rebounding to get inside offense; and 2) we're not shooting the ball well from the outside ... mostly because the shots are contested, and they're contested because we don't feed the post and defenders can get away with cheating out on us. I can't tell you how many times I've seen Melo (despite doubles) and X-mas put their defender on their hip and get NO PASS... Why is this happening? It makes our half court two - dimensional... we take a long (often contested) jumper, or wait for DW to come in to penetrate and dish. Sooner or later, this will loose us games. In the meantime, it's depriving our bigs of the rep's they need to develop their post games. [/QUOTE]
