If you back to Serious's first post, then notice that there was also mention of the Euro option which is to take the 3 pointers often and assume a need to be an offensive force. I agree that I don't want Dirk to do that and that alone as a solution. But, I think Dirk should take 5-7 three pointers per game where he is shooting from a quick catch and release position in transition or early in a half court set. We need Dirk to score as Sike pointed out. Passing out of a double team is necessary but it does accomplish what the opponent wants anyway- someone else is going to shoot. The opponent wants someone else not named Dirk to beat them. We still need Dirk to score. So, I say pop some three's as a part of the strategy. Then, the other half of the strategy has to be developing a low post offensive strategy. I think we do that by playing:
Devin, JHo as a SG, Bass as a SF, Dirk, Diop. Diop has shown he can score and make a move in a hurry now. Pass to Bass/JHo in the low pass. Let them make a move and try to score. Pass to Diop inside if the defense gives Bass/JHo that option. Kick it out to Dirk who is facing the basket if the inside options are a "no go" on that possession.
