Something to think about-- Im not sure Carlisle thinks about it when he has us play the zone.

I'm not so sure about that. What he does is put the ball right on the guy cutting from behind the basket. He also puts the ball right into dirks sweetspot on the post. He hits cutters, he still handles the ball a ton in the half court. What he doesn't do is break down that defense himself and score.
He sure as hell needs to get that 3-point shot fixed but saying he's done in the halfcourt seems a stretch to me. Look at the difference in the looks everyone gets when jkiddo is in there versus jjb for example, night and day.
And sure you can say it's because jjb stinks, but that's not the point, he just doesn't make the passes that jkiddo does.
