Not trying to sunshine pump but the offense looked outstanding last night with Jrue in there. Unlike Douglas and Smith he can create his own shot which is a must in Gentry's offense. When Tyreke and Cole come back and when Asik is closer to 100% (he was barely getting off the floor last night) I expect things to change.

D is a different story but so far we have only played guard dominant offenses. Douglas played pretty tight D on Curry but it's not his fault the guy has a horseshoe up his arse.

What specifically did you like about it? Yes the offense is productive when Jrue is on the court, 107.5 ORtg with Holiday on the court vs 90.7 off, but I still saw a bunch of 1 on 1, and with everybody being told to stay on the perimeter there's only so much off ball movement that can happen. The reason I started this thread is because I don't see much that I like about the offense so far.

Also, I think you're selling Toney Douglas short. He was more efficient than Jrue (17 pts on 12 shots vs 22 on 19) and was pretty close on assists, 4 in 23 minutes vs 6 in 27. One of the things I didn't like is that even when setting a high pick, AD would rarely roll to the basket, again it looks like the plan is to get the lead guard 1 on 1 on the move. When are they going to add the plays that made Amare an MVP candidate?
