Sacrifice defense for offense?

[bfrombleacher]

It was garbage time but we have a hell of a lot of shooters and they're actually pretty good when you give them the green light. The small lineups at the end at least competed with the Mavs. We have 3 PFs who run.

If you limit JO's minutes (which I think Doc should have anyway), you get a team that can go uptempo and hit a lot of 3's on the offensive end. Lots of movement unlike what we have.

Maybe Doc should change the name of the game to more of a run-and-gun-3 point barrage?

At this point, I'm pretty sure if there were some legitimate offensive upgrades on our bench Doc would have tried them by now.

It's really an offensively inept team, on the whole.  The team is, and has been for a long time, built to rely on the Big 3 to score 50-60 points a night at least.  Now that it's completely unrealistic to expect that from them on anything approaching a regular basis, we have a team that struggles to score 90 points and has to scrape and battle on every defensive possession to keep the opponent from scoring 90.

That's an enormous burden, especially when your team gives the opponent tons of extra possessions due to turnovers and offensive rebounds.

It's frustrating, knowing it's almost half-time and looking at the score, seeing the C's only at 24 points. It seems like it happens every game. Players should love scoring, padding their stats for future contracts, etc. and the C's still can't score! C's have become the mid-90's Cleveland Cavaliers.
