This has been my primary beef with both Curry and Kuester: they don’t run plays (or perhaps fail to hold players accountable for not executing what the coaches call).
I always felt like Flip made the same mistake in crunch time. Instead of running our fluid offense, we’d default into high post isolations for Tayshaun or some other bad idea. Offenses are hard to guard when five guys are moving in unison. C’mon, coaching staff, this is middle school level basketball 101 we’re talking about here!

stop it, feldman. one play. over the hundreds of plays you get out of someone who knows how to run a team. this is desperate and embarrassing.

We aren’t clamoring, we’re simply pointing out the fact that there is a distinct lack of leadership when it comes to running an offense. It’s all to haphazard and frankly I’m not the only one sick of having a starting point guard that is lucky to get more than 3 or 4 assists in one game. If Stuckey could figure out how to become more of a consistent, elite type of scorer, I’d be ok with his lackluster passing. Until he can develop better finishing skills or an above average ability to see the floor and deliver the ball we will have a pretty poor offense. I love everything about Stuckey except his passing and mid-long range shooting. He has a quiet confidence about him that is admirable, but he needs to command respect to be able to run an exceptional defense. And as much as I love Rip, I wish he would’ve been the one we parted with as opposed to Chauncey years ago.

so the morale of the story is that the team should endure 82 games of turmoil for lack of a point guard so they can run this play every few games, at most?
sounds like a great trade-off.
