He said the system is totally different from Houston and closer to what he was doing in Chicago. I really hope that means an end to hard hedging.

Imo, hard hedging the pick and roll when you're playing against a jump shooting big man might be the dumbest thing in sports. We might actually give up a few less points if we aren't doubling point guards and leaving Dirk, Aldridge, etc. alone for WIDE OPEN jump shots.

Yep.

It's not that hard hedging is bad in and of itself. It's that the personnel never made sense the last 3 years. A high risk, high reward strategy with improper personnel is as bad play

That said, I could see it being a nice change of pace with Davis/Asik.
