Running the Offense Primarily Thru Jax

[spectre]

Yeah I think that's it (different views). I don't look at a post up guy as the primary facilitator although he does do it a lot...as any post up player should else he'll just get double teamed all the time.

I agree with you that we should have exploited it more. LB seemed to react more to other teams looking to take advantage of us then us trying to take advantage of them.

Heck, maybe it'd work with Jax as a point/forward (from the 2 spot). Maybe it's just a matter of getting used to the other players' comfort spots like you said.

What if we traded Boris, DJ, and filler for B-Diddy and filler?

Solves the PG/distributor problem...

Not a fan of seeing drunken PG play.

Perhaps we have different ideas of what running the offense through someone means. I generally associate the #1 option as that player.

Actually, I thought the offense needed to be run through Jack in the post much more often. He's a matchup problem for 2-guards, as you said, but he's a very good post player anyway and running the offense inside out would've been useful.

Yeah, he was a point forward for essentially his entire Warriors career. He and Baron were the principal distributors (Baron to a larger extent) for the 1.5 seasons they were together. Ellis racked up some assist numbers but he never really got teammates involved in the same way BD and Jack did. BD was fantastic at drawing the D and kicking to open shooters - Jack equally adept at getting the big men involved for dunks and layups. Last year (when BD left for LA), he averaged 6.5 dimes a night.

couldn't agree more. the offense runs through ray. ray brings it up and decides who gets the ball. jax is our primary scorer. it seems that many of us are forgetting what october and november looked like offensively. we were horrid. we were all clamoring for a scorer and the bobcats actually went out and got one and we got much much better. not saying we should keep jax at all costs, but if we do trade him we better have a plan to get another #1 scorer.

I can't believe what I'm reading....Are you folk seriously trying to find reasons to keep Boris? His sorta kinda playmaking skills? Where were those skills in the playoffs? How about during the season? Do they make up for the fact he doesn't rebound or defend the post? Trade Boris for Brandon Bass or some else with some man balls. Boris is a bitch and I will have no part in finding a reason to keep him.
