The very first question I asked Blatt had to do with Maccabi in the first exhibition when they were getting killed trying to ice the pick and roll. they had to get more aggressive because the Maccabi PG was getting anything he wanted. and he said, "you can't just play one way. You're always making adjustments."
Maybe what I'll write about today is adjustments. I've asked him a couple different questions about adjustments and he's said one, that you have some basic things you have to build into your sets. You're not going to change who you are, but you definitely build - what us nerds would probably call branching-contingencies -- because you know that they're going to respond and you will have things you're going to try to do. Blatt has also said that you go in with some things and you kind of keep what works and pare down what isn't.
maybe I should ask
while you're very effective with isolation do you have to be judicious in utilizing it so that it doesn't breed offensive stagnation, or do you not feel the two are related?
