Last night, again, Billy had no creative answer for a game winning look and instead green lights DeMar to iso and put up a terrible shot. We kept the same lineup on the floor rather than add any rebounding or shooting and Phoenix didn’t have to adjust at all because everyone in the league knows the ball is going to DeMar.
I’m not in the blow it up or tank crowd but a quick retool around Zach and AC could at least answer a lot of questions moving forward that we have about Zach and our role players.
It’s also time to acknowledge that we have a generational talent in AC and while it’s not a traditional role to build around, I think we have to consider that if we move on from him we’re going to be really really bad so its time to pick a lane. Fire Billy, trade DeMar and see what we have. It’s frustrating watching a young team like Houston string together wins while not taking their foot off the petal (last four wins by an average of 21 points) only to watch our Bulls continue to flounder. Go Bulls.
How about 1 halftime adjustment Billy. Just try it. See how it feels
