Now, for a slightly more serious, slightly less 'that's what she said' post:
Obviously, we have to stop taking so many 3 pointers. The next time I see someone pass up an open 3 pointer for a drive because they know they aren't a good 3 point shooter, it will be the first.
But for God's sake...just because we shot 6/31 last night, doesn't mean everybody should be afraid to pull the trigger. 3 pointers in small doses with this team are effective. We should aim to take 15 3's a game and make 6 of them.
Hollins should get 25 minutes at least. Kidd should just keep running that pick and roll. At the 3 point line, but primarily at the FT line and on the wings. A sort of isolation/pick and roll, by having the SG, SF and PF clear out of the lane to either wing and just try to kill them with Hollins dunks.
I'd love to see Green. We're not, but I'd love to see him.
Wright and Singleton on Granger, as usual.
Kidd/Barea should let Ford shoot a little if he wants. Focus on not letting him drive.
Barea matches up well with the shorter backcourt of the Pacers. Jack is 6'3" and Ford is 6'0". Assuming Barea starts once again, he'll play on Ford and Kidd will play on Jack. Most likely.
