I feel the minutes AD shares with LeBron can be staggered to give him more minutes with D’Lo for the first 3 quarters. That way both LeBron and AD plus D’Lo can do damage. AR should not see a minute with AD, I genuinely get annoyed at how many times the team doesn’t pass to AD when he has a mismatch or when he has a good position under the rim with the defender on his back.
I mean. We had two shooters in DG and KCP during our championship run and they both were inconsistent then as well.
Definitely. If we had a CP3/Mike Conley kinda vet maybe we’d see more action for AD.
Lmao. And to think shooting didn’t seem like an issue with Rondo on the floor with Bron and AD. Tbf Rondo was shooting very well during that championship run. D’Lo paired with AD could be a good way to get him going if the coaching staff makes it a point for D’Lo to look for AD and get him the ball. D’Lo also operates really well out of the pick n roll/pop.
I think more than the shooting it’s the overall offensive identity that’s the issue. Whenever I watch us play against a good team it seems like we just don’t have an offensive identity. We tip our hats on the defensive end and hope the players (LeBron) will find offense.
Do you really believe that? I’m genuinely asking. I believe that we just don’t run our offense through him enough to simply write him off. He’s better than JJJ and he gets more looks and plays than AD does. Jokic and Embiid are the focal point of the offense and it runs through them. AD could at least be 60% of those two on offense if we actually made a line up according to his strengths. Which is better than what he’s doing right now on the offensive end.
