Spot on assessment. You can't make chicken salad with chicken shite. The players do not match the scheme. They neither have it physically, nor mentally--or both.

Golden State runs this system to near-perfection. Yes, they are that good. Not anyone can run it and attain the same results. It must be exciting as a player to run such a scheme, because the defense loses every time and is unstoppable when shots are going down.
