RE: Porzingis Postup Debate - Rick Carlisle vs TNT - StepBackJay - 01-11-2020 Y'all stop messing with KP. He is just fine. Creates a ton of space on offense and gives you great defense at the rim. Luka had all kinds of trouble last night as he'd have 4 Lakers collapsed in the lane.

Let KP be KP as far as being a 3 point shooter and spacer. His defense also is sorely missed. Part of the thread is though is about the Post Up offense and the lack thereof in Coach Carlisle's mind and in his offensive schemes in general. Against the Lakers for example, King James used set Post Up plays in the mix with his other offensive arsenal and was very effective against Dallas, in Post Ups. Overall trying to guard James driving, dishing, shooting 3's AND Posting Up makes him totally unstoppable because defenses can't load up on a limited range of scoring options. Dallas on the other hand can have the #1 overall offense but then be loaded up on and shut down at key stretches of games resulting on loss of big leads and loss of games at the end. Missing offensive options. Props to Coach for mixing in some Big man bully ball against the Sixers yesterday and once again our man Boban rewarded him with big production including in the post in just a few minutes. Here lifting my own post from ML's game thread on the Philly game: Quote:Quote: RE: Porzingis Postup Debate - Rick Carlisle vs TNT - hakeemfan - 01-16-2020 I was watching the Lakers/Magic highlights. Looks like at least 3 buckets in crunch time against a very good defense, in a tight game, came with Markelle Fultz of all people going to work in the low post. Trends will come and go. However you always need a mixture of set plays inside and outside to keep defenses honest.

Yeah, 3's overall are most efficient over the course of most of a game. On the other hand when it comes down to it in certain game situations, you just need to get the highest % shots period. When you only need to score a bucket or a few to win a game, to hold on to a lead late in a game and in general to close games where the margin doesn't demand the most points, a shot at the rim is better than a 3. Markelle is exceptional at getting to rim and he has a very high bbiq. He's slowly getting back to health now that they finally figured out what was wrong with him but he doesn't have his outside shot back yet so yeah, he forced his way to the rim because he's good enough to do that. What he also has that reminds of what Luka can do, is he remains a constant threat to make a great pass. |
