You know it occurred to me that George Hill really is the perfect PG for this coach.
This coach loves controlling the tempo, sucking the air out of the ball, futilely trying to re-create Memphis, and Hill is more than willing to be
ultra conservative whether he goes early offense or runs the set.
George Hill almost always runs the set and this is why he is one of Joerger's favorites and probably lobbied hard for him last off-season over Collision. Hill is a good little soldier rarely defiant of his general.
Getting shellacked last night against a weal LAC team is NOT a surprise when you are sporting the league worst point differential and you have Z-Bud-centric offense bound to collapse.
Randolph was NOT going to play out of his mind indefinitely and playing against more formidable bigs in Aldridge, Gasol and Jordan the last two games have slowed his roll.
The problem is this coach has designed an offense so dependent upon Z-Bo in the absence of 20+ PPG the offense comes mostly to a grinding halt.
Especially when you think so little of your best perimeter scoring threat!
Before this game, I said I wanted to see Buddy continue to establish himself as a starter with challenge the upgrade in competition AND the intermittent support of the coach.
Once again, the Blob tells it like it is.
How is Buddy suppose to find his groove when he is the first starter pulled at the 5:00 of the 1st quarter and sits the rest of the half? Total disrespect!
Granted Buddy gets himself in trouble with his handles, and misses assignments, but he wants to great, he wants to minimize these trouble spots, so let him make these mistakes and play on!
I like Boggy but this guy is too deferential to Oven Mitts and other teammates when we need him to be an aggressive scorer.
Why is Boggy so eager to pass it to a guy who has less offensive talent than he does?!
Buddy does not suffer this "malady". He will pass the ball to the open man but he plays to his strength. He is hungry.
Our coach seems to have a problem with this "hunger" if he is not running his precious system precisely and executing every assignment flawlessly.
Interesting who he choses to pick on since Z-Bo has made ZERO defensive plays at the rim and ZERO help defensive plays all year gets a FREE PASS from this coach!
For a team that has so much trouble scoring and runs so many half court sets, they could DEFINITELY benefit from Papa G mean an wide picks for 20-25 MPG.
Another memo that needs to be relayed to this clueless coach!
Between now and the deadline, Hill and Koufos need to be moved. I would settle for a 2nd round pick on Koufos or G-Leaguers just to free up time for Papa G.
This team is Bottom 5 team (or worse) with a fair chance at De'Andre Ayton, a transcendent talent and one of the best prospect in over decade.
After a game like last night, we may as well embrace the tank and the prospects of a player who will end Decade of Despair and turn the page to a Decade of Dominance.
