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?

i think a large part of this is defensive choices

you have to choose if you're going to exert more on the ballhandler or the pick. so far defenses are allowing our mash unit at pg the opportunities to beat them and taking AD out of his game. when we have point guards who will make them pay, the D will open up for AD. this was going to happen regardless of the system with the vomit we're throwing out there at point right now
