In his interview last night, Triche said that this year's team was better than last years. He said there is more of a willingness to share the ball and less one-on-one.
I have my doubts. I think the defense this year is better. But the offense is erratic.
Last year, when we had to have a basket at crunch time, it seemed to me that Waiters going to the hoop was nearly unstoppable.
But what about this year? Where do we go when we have the ball and there's 20 seconds left? Where do we go to stop a run by the opposing team? Who is the go-to guy and the go-to play?
Is it MCW driving to the basket for a lay up or a dish?
Is it Triche bombing away from outside or pulling up short on a drive to shoot a 15 ft jumper?
Is it kicking the ball back to Southerland for a three?
I think our best chance is getting the ball inside to Fair to see if he him twist and lean and stretch and put up a short shot. I know he missed a bunch of these last night. But I think this is the highest probability thing we have.
So based on what I have seen so far (and last year) Fair in the paint is the go-to guy and the go-to play.
