Thanks for the clarification. No intent to dump on JB, just reporting what I saw were the main issues, which certainly weren't all on him.
He isnt perfect by any means.
But...I saw him working and absolutely no one cutting to the basket when he was penetrating and trying to get the defense to collapse. It was DFS that finally came in and cut to the basket for him.
Yes, that particular play struck me enough to mention it in the game story.
I think cutters can lead to high efficient shots if you have guys that know how to play and pass the ball. I think our shooting was lackluster and cutters might have helped us score some. Thus...my opinion is that JB was trying to help us with that but had little help.
No question that cutters and shooters who play well are critical to the performance of the team. Actually, I think everyone, including JB, was trying to help, but they weren't organized enough or individually good enough to control the chaos. A lot of scurrying around, but not much accomplished.
Not saying it wasn't a brave try.
