Seriously, I think a significant component of "the dribble drive offense" is keeping the rim clear at all times and forcing our best offensive players to attack off the dribble from all the way out at the 3pt line. To say that's a poor fit for a team who's two stars happen to be some of the elite post players at their position is an understatement.

Haha in showing the lakers highlights at halftime every highlight reel if you look at the score we increase by 3-4 points each highlight for the lakers.

Come to think of it, I'd be hard pressed to think of a worse system for Rudy/Cuz.

Koufos and Bels might be some of the most underrated pickups in the entire league this summer. Given money, probably both Top 10 in the entire league.
Had Koufos been in a higher profile situation (starting, bigger market, etc) he would have gotten the same money as Asik, Chandler, Robin, etc.

Holy crap they just said if the lakers are gonna come back they gotta stop the 3 pt shooting of the Kings. Have we heard that in last 10 years?

Yet, we're smashing them on both ends of the floor.

So do people care about winning or just winning the way THEY think we should win?
Because they're preseason wins against teams expected to be some of the worst in the league. When the games start to count, you rarely win by designing offenses that minimize your best talent.
