Pop took a chance on tweaking his sets and the Spurs ended up with the best offense for much of the season. I think we've got too many new players (only 5 guys from last year and 08) and Rondo has taken on a much larger role.
When our guys are playing the way they're supposed to it works great. But WAY too often our guys can't get a look to save their lives and just drain the clock, and I don't think that's completely on the players.
Ray doesn't get open anymore. Paul hasn't been getting to his spot. KG has become 100% dependent on the turnaround instead of getting to the rim. Big Baby is a jump shooter. Green is just lost. Rondo can actually still get to the bucket when he wants but he doesn't want to nearly enough.
Personally I think we need a lot more of Rondo drawing the defender and then getting the guy the ball. And when we're running a play through someone he needs to be in a position to hurt the defense (on the baseline or cutting to the basket) not hanging out behind the 3pt line with his defender on the other side of the court (Baby too).
Also what was the point of trading for Green if we don't really use him? Bottom line is we're going to have trouble in the playoffs if our offense keeps becoming stagnant. Teams already know we're easy to outrebound and we're becoming easy to stop from scoring. Any team with speed and length just has to really try to play defense on us like Miami did yesterday and you saw what happened. When they turned their defense on our guys couldn't even come close to getting open.
