Yeah, down the stretch, I will never understand why we seem to always fall back to the “give it to LeBron and let him create” offense when an actual set play drawn up by JJ is nine times out of ten more effective.
I seriously doubt the play call is give it to LeBron and let him pound the ball for 18 seconds but it is what Bron has always done and no coach is going to change that. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
Well, I assume that JJ does have LeBron’s respect because of their show together and that he would listen to him.
It's something I've always been frustrated with, but teams want to minimize the chance of a turnover in those situations. You want to score to put the game away, but not at the expense of giving the other team an extra possession via turnover. I think that's the logic anyway.
Yeah, I’ve heard that as the explanation, but it seems like more times than not, it turns out to be a bad, heavily contested shot. I’ll take the chance of a turnover every time with the ball handlers we have on this team, over the willy nilly off the cuff play. I have faith that either Austin, LeBron, or DLO can execute a set play and have the ability to run “option b” if the play gets mucked up by a great defense.
Am still curious as to who the pudgy guy with the gray hair is …. what his role is and where he came from …. if anyone knows?
