exactly...it's crazy some give Travis a pass, like he had nothing to do with the roster construction and player management

The Cronin Paradox: They are his players, but he never really owns their performance.

Or personnel decisions during the game, or gameplan.

Freemantle and Carter getting open looks is not a byproduct of the offense.

It's the byproduct of the defense. As in the defense is baiting those guys to shoot. Neither one is particularly effective at shooting the 3, and they are also too far out to effectively rebound.

Of course they are open. The defense was designed to create that.

Wow, you’re right. Sure feels like Free is shooting better than 31.9% from 3.

I was being sarcastic. I really hope that getting Carter and Freemantle open 3's doesn't factor into the offensive scheme.

Our guys may not have a hand in their face but far too often their feet are not quiet and set. This is an offense schematic problem.
Our guys are rushing shots. Stop with this “clean looks” trash.

Bull/Trash??? An uncontested look from distance is what has made Nova and the GQJ model. HIS players have been fortunate to knock them down at a very high percentage.... our guys not so much, YET!

Feet set? Are you serious? I have re-watched the entire season and Coach Steele has orchestrated a massiive amount of c!ean looks WITH set footing....many times our shooters are set in cement. But obviously, our shots have not been falling lately. NOT on Coach...having mass difficulty in understanding why player execution is being overlooked.

Because he recruits and coaches those non-performing players.

Or doesn't play and develop them......see Tandy, Miles and Ramsey. The two big guys especially in a year where we really need post help. Are you telling me one of those guys cant give us what Griffin has this year? If so, that's lousy recruiting and development.
