I didn't say they missed all, but it attributes to it. Unless you're a spot up specialist, a lot of it is not being allowed to get in rhythm.
Ik I'm beating a dead horse with these Grizzlies examples, but I can pull up exact same stances from fans when they would brick wide open shot after wide open shot. It wasn't until Joerger left they started changing their tune to acknowledging NBA level players need their freedom to flow within an offense and standing and watching and feeding a post guy takes many out of the offense. You can just look at the players on their team's numbers once they left hit a magical rebirth of their stroke. When they got their, they lost it.
Vince Carter is an easy example. Lights out shooter, gets to Orlando in a Dwight Howard system and struggled, got to Dallas and was back at good shooting numbers. Gets to Memphis, dips again on the worst shooting team in the league, Joerger leaves new offense and he shines again. Back here and he's looking more of the same as he did early in Memphis.
Notice everyone and their mother can shoot on the rockets and warriors? The system has plenty to do with it for the role players. Some of these guys, Eric Gordon I wanna say struggled for a bit until getting back into a system like Houston.
I'm not saying we should be like either of those teams, but high post or Zbo iso offense? No bueno.

1) Dave rides his veteran players into the ground.... that’s clearly not the case this year and it diminishes your argument to bring it up.
2) The ZBo iso offense I think is a problem and we saw more evidence of it last night. Hill, Bogdonavich, Willie all play much better with a pick and roll or ball screen type of offense that features more movement and cutting. They also play better defense that can switch and help better.
We shall see how they play offense going forward. Dave’s not a dumb coach and I hope we see less ZBo and more movement.
