Here's the problem. Young or not they have one year. One year to make this happen with the best player we've had since shaq and cj and talented support guys. But I don't see anything different than I'd see if these guys were at the playground playing. The majority of our points were scored from one on one moves or fast break opportunities from turnovers. We still have guys standing around and watching the ball on missed shots instead of finding a man to block out. We have no viable inside game outside of Simmons and he doesn't really play inside. That's on jones for not recruiting a real big man. Malone has not improved in year 3. Robinson is too slow. Epps is a foul machine. Bridgewater plays below the rim...well below the rim.

It's frustrating that in year 4 we're still seeing very little semblance of an offensive plan. And don't forget, they're playing their 11th game together counting the Australia trip. I really do hope Hornsby and Victor make a difference but until this team learns how to stop dribble penetration, rebound efficiently and work the ball around, we'll be looking at a lot of mediocre games against these types of teams.
