If only had one offensive player that couldn't score on the floor at a time, that'd be a significant improvement. Much of the time this year we played with Dampier/Diop and George/Buckner on the floor at the same time and had two players on the floor that couldn't score.
That's what has killed us in the play offs in the last two series. Coaches (Riley and Nelson, but after those series everyone else will catch on) that you can afford to double Dirk, because Dallas always plays with at least one player on the floor that can't score, and most of the time two. It doesn't matter so much in the regular season when defenses don't really adjust to specific teams.
In the play offs, it kills you.
