Was it Green choosing not to run the offense through BI after what happened with the Lakers game or was it whoever was running the offense without Point Zion not getting it to him?


I think BI was frustrated that he couldn’t get off Dort and wanted Willie to set up plays to get him free. Which I don’t disagree with but Willie just doesn’t do that. I mean we don’t set up plays for anyone.

In a game of Xs and Os, I think we can tell which one Willie is.

It really makes no sense from BI's perspective.

Willie runs a screen, ball gets to BI...ok now what? You still got Dort on you. You've shown zero ability to score on him, so what are you going to do now?

Oh, you also need help getting Dort off of you when you have the ball, how about a screen? But wait, you get a screen and refuse to attack and play the BI slow motion basketball so the screen becomes useless because you go around it, stop, and Dort just follows you until he's back into position to guard you.

No one was going to put the ball in the basket for you. You're on a max contract. Sure there are ways to make things easier here and there, but sometimes a player of this caliber getting paid that much has to get shite done by yourself, and you have to own it when you don't.
