This is the thing: Reke has one move, the same move from last year, same play from last year. He dribble drives into the heart of the defense. This ends in a shot going up or a kickout for three. The only way other players get involved is by crashing the board on his misses or being the kickout guy. The problem is that this play puts one of your guards under the basket, your big men crashing the basket for boards, and a fourth guy potentially sitting for a three. If it's a three, you got most your team under the basket and a guy running out on the three point shooter. If it is a layup attempt, you still have a guard and your big men having to go the full court back on D. It is extremely ripe for exploitation by transition breaks.

Some could counter argue this with... Tyreke Evans isn't really running the team right now - Luther Head and Beno Udrih are.
I haven't seen the Beno - Evans chemistry that was there at the end of last season... I'm not seeing Casspi's improved defense (which I'm not knocking him on).
I really feel a Evans/Cisco/Greene starting lineup would improve us much defensively right now and allow Beno + Casspi as spark plugs for our offense off the bench, and Beno coming off the bench would also negate Head ever running our offense.

Tyreke is so much more effective when he's just trying to lay it up easily instead of trying all his fancy scoop shots which he hasn't really mastered yet. If he just goes up strong and tries to finish normally he'll usually make it or get fouled, as compared to trying to avoid the contact and squeeze up some funky shot off the glass.
It's so annoying that Casspi gets stuck on every pick on defence like it's a goddamn brick wall... I really don't see the improoved defence talked about, even tho 4th qtr against Minni he did good on Beasley.
Whats also annoying is other then Dalembert, every pick we make on the offence is a 'make-believe' pick, especiely Cousins who just makes me laugh when doing it.
