I don't know if it's the players or Brad - but this team has a bad case of taking turns going 1 on 1 (usually launching a 3 or dribbling right at 3 defenders in the lane). It was evident in the Miami series and most of the time we are losing late in games and pressure is on.
What is the solution here - how do we get the big 3 to take advantage of each other's presence, rather than simply going 1 on 1 all the time? Using Tatum/Brown in the post? Should Kemba be the 6th man point, and off the ball in the 4th so we can use a true pg? I don't feel we can advance past good teams unless this is resolved.
Kemba is not a point guard. He’s looking for his own shot 90% of the time and does not get his teammates involved. Think he had 2 assists yesterday. If he’s not making shots, he just a liability out there, since he’s doesn’t do anything else at a high level. Defense is suspect too. Not due to effort, just a lack of size.
