Enjoyed the game last night but from my point of view unless some major changes are made in our offensive scheme this team is going no where. I have said it before and now say it again (I will get tired of saying it sooner or later) that big men are next to worthless to this team no matter what the name of the big man. There is no apparent attempt to involve them offensively whatsoever as far as I can see. Are plays run for them? It will take less than 5 fingers for me to count the number of times that happened last night. Maybe I can't count well.
It seems to me the only use the offense has for them is to set blocks for the outside shooters and stay out of the way so those shooters can go one on one. I know JV ought to be able to score if you get him the ball and I know from observation watching the Pacers for the past 3 seasons that Tyler is capable of putting up good numbers even if many of those are free throws. But for either guy you got to go to them in the post which I have not seen happen yet in preseason or in last night's game. Trouble is coming soon unless there is some change. Boston is no doubt one of the 4 poorest teams in the league. Best ditch this offense for one more like Indiana.
