They came in with that double screen action (can't remember what they called it last year, but that doesn't matter because it's probably called something different now with the new staff) that was working at the beginning of the game (hence the early lead) and then the Hawks adjusted, first to force the ball in DFS's hands (which actually wasn't terrible at first) and then again to completely own it.
Kidd had no answer. The rest of the half was "let's throw the ball to KP in the high post and see what happens." Well, we should all know how that story ends by now.
KL. I see from your posts that you are being too critical of the coaching staff over one game and romanticizing the past with RC. Give them time.
Everyone said Lue was an inferior coach but in the playoffs he was better than RC while RC indulged in some questionable rotations. Most neutral observers would agree that he clearly outcoached RC as the series went along. Kidd was calling the plays during our 2011 run. While I fully agree that a great player doesn’t necessarily translate to a great coach, I also see too often players like Kidd and Lue are not given credit for their basketball IQ. Give this staff some time.
