P.S. And we're playing the best team in the league right now. Walton isn't a miracle worker. And, contrary to what you seem to think, Luke doesn't draw up plays for every second of the game. The players are actually expected to read the court and (to quote Jerry) take what the defense gives them. It's not Walton's fault if they can't figure it out.
Again, these are problems from a strategic point of view that have gone on beyond just this game. This is indicative of a bigger problem For this game though, 1. Play small when they go small. Don't wait, go immediately. 2. Spread the floor as best you can and give the middle to Fox. 3. The big needs to pop on the pick and roll. 4. Look for Buddy off the ball on a catch and shoot. 5. If the interior is there give it to Barnes and work out from there.
Dedmon isn't hitting tonight, but with he and Bjelica on paper you plenty of pop potential. In fact, that's their game. If they flop then yes, tough deal but tonight it's the best shot you had so it is what it is. Walton consistently has Buddy on the ball too much for my liking. It's a lot like having Bjelica inside and Giles out. Fox is mostly an inside player and Buddy is mostly out. Playing to your players strengths makes a world of difference. Giles starting inside in the 2nd half and letting Bjelica stretch was a good move and common sense thinking.
Haha, it's because they have the skills needed. I want the other players learning to stay the heck out of the way so those players can get more calls themselves. Barnes, Fox, and Bagley are probably the limit for this team in terms of where the foul line is going to represent a decent percentage of their points per game.
