We are over-passing

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Yes yes yes. He needs to take over more often. I dunno if it's fatigue or what but he seems to take plays off way to often. With his abilities we need him handling the ball & attacking much more IMO.

So you want to do what Corbin did, which resulted in a much less effective and efficient Hayward? Smart

Hayward is a max player, but he isn't someone you want forcing things on the court. He has gotten better at doing what he wants on the court, but he isn't a traditional super-star in that sense, at least not yet.

Bigger issue is Burks not taking his open 3's and instead dribbling into contested midrange shots.

I'm also concerned with how little he drives to the hoop and how ineffective it is. Hopefully he figures it out

Burks is attempting and making more 3 point shots per game (and per 36) this year than any other year of his career so far...... and shooting the highest 3pt percentage of his career.

.... and still struggling to make a consistent positive impact off-the-ball.... and struggling to be a solid defender.

I'm a Burks fan, but I'm starting to lean pretty hard in the direction of him being a sixth man.

Agree.
I think snyder needs to tell Burks to stop thinking so much and just attack more... I mean he is shooting a career high from three (while taking more 3's than ever before), a career high from free throw line, is rebounding better than he has in the last two years, is turning the ball over less per 36 despite his increased role, is passing the ball more than ever before, and imo is playing harder on defense.

Yet pretty much all of us (myself included) think he is sucking.

So what gives? Imo alot of us fell in love with his penetration/attacking the rim game and loved how he was always getting to the line.
Crazy for me of all people to say this, but I want ty corbins alec burks back

I want perimeter defense. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . because I want the team to stop sucking.

I'd rather be over passing then under passing. I think we normally over pass in the first half because we are over thinking. In the second half we play a little more freely most of the time.

Quin has mentioned multiple times in post game interviews that we are over passing. Learning to pass a lot is the first step, recognizing when to shoot or drive is the next. We will get there.

OP is over-posting

Much better - more aggressive play by Hayward in this Clippers game. Much more physical attacking the rim and either laying it up or passing it down low.


Feel like a switch has been flipped here.

Also some aggressive strong moves by Kanter.


Have a feeling Quin addressed this issue last couple of days.

Hayward with a career record 20 points in a quarter. I have a feeling Quin has given him the green light now. He's bigger and stronger this year, taking it to the defense single handedly.
