I like what Smart is doing here

I think Salmons is more comfortable at the 2 spot and Greene deserves the nod. This gives us a good defensive matchup in the back court…

Wait, we're starting Greene AND Salmons?

Not so much fun

35 and 31. I'm calling it now. Reke and Cousins 1-2 in most improved award both All-stars. Jimmer leads rookies in scoring, passing and Ole's. Make 2nd round of playoffs and Salmons is not here by seasons end.

So bad

At allowing space for defender to get through screens on D, and simply go through the motions of setting and using them on offense (screens set way too far away from defender and man with the ball doesn’t use it well). This is basketball 101 man! They should be able to clean it up in one practice. I just don’t get it.

You know..

I can’t believe you actually think he should keep practicing them.
Youll need those half-court shots what, 3,4,5 times a year?
Well guess what, a 3-pt shot and midrange would be a lot more helpful because you NEED that 82 games a year(66 this year)
Instead hes practicing for something he needs possible 3 or 4 times a year?

Not Smart.

Yeah, seems to pile on during road games

To be fair, winning on the road for a young team is always tough. Our road schedule recently has included Philly, Dallas, Portland, Houston, San Antonio and Memphis.

Those teams are a combined 42-8 at home. That’s a brutal stretch for a young team that’s just changed coaches.
