In reality, we had no shooting threat so the teams could easily pack it in and frustrate Boogie and The Brow.
Simple solution. Add three point shooters. That was easy to see and it's been the reason for everyone so desperate for a shooter.
Now is it the ONLY solution? I don't know. I feel like they have something up their sleeves. Another move or a piece of Finch's system that fixes the issues another way. I hope so, at least. Otherwise we'll see teams neuter our offensive threats by packing the paint and watching us chunk up bricks from downtown.
