Everyone was talking about ball movement in Blatt's system when he was hired. Blatt was telling players to fuck off, benching them when they spoke out of turn,and getting players to give a ton of effort.
Not just on RCF. Tons of sports writers and journalists sold the hire as "genius." I get that Blatt's system may not translate well to the NBA, but the problem is there isn't a visible system. Plays aren't being run. There's no ball movement, no defensive effort and no passion in the players.
It simply doesn't make sense how someone lauded as a great basketball mind, surrounded by NBA assistants, can only come up with an assortment of iso plays and hero ball from whoever...
If I remember correctly, many of us were praising Blatt during the winning streak, when not surprisingly, the ball was moving and plays were visibly being run. What changed?
It may be that Blatt doesn't connect with the team. Maybe they simply aren't running his plays. Maybe he's in way over his head. I have no idea what is is causing this, but what we're seeing isn't David Blatt's system, it's a bunch of uninspired garbage ball.
Maybe this team needs a new coach, but if they do, it's probably not because our current coach doesn't understand how to win a game of basketball.
