Book of Igor

Post by bajanguy008 »

Over the last few weeks we would have been sharing different things about Igor
Just came across this article which has links to some of the stuff we might have read already but also links to various breakdowns of Igor playbook which is the kinda stuff I really like

So for those who might have missed the articles in Off-season News or like me and just been enjoying sipping the "KoKo-laid". Lots of good stuff here :) 8-)

Listening to Igor talk is like listening to Watson, only the exact opposite.

The whole "constant movement of the ball and player" scares me a little bit. Isn't that going to wear the players out more than SSOL?

Ask Golden State. Isn't that like saying we are afraid of playing good basketball because our players might get tired? Good grief, they can't play in easy chairs.

It’s already easier on the eye and more effective than constant iso ball.
Almost nothing more boring than watching 1-1 clearlits all the time.
Looks like the young guys will get a good taste of ‘team’ basketball and that can only be a good thing.

I don't think the movement will be a problem. it might even be necessary since we don't have a great PG just yet to really run things on the floor and guys like Jackson and Warren could benefit off the cutting and midrange looks.

Golden State seems to have had some minor success running something similar.

It's hard to believe we actually saw this much improvement in our offense in just a few summer league games. SL is famous for being an athlete's league because there's not much time for coaching and so many of the players are too young to have solid fundamentals. But we saw actual plays being run. I guess Igor doesn't mess around.

I sure hope so. I like what I have seen and heard so far and the general consensus seems to be positive. Let’s see what people say 20 games in.

Get tired? That’s what subs are for. Make old guy Lebron run around chasing our guys the whole game and see how many minutes he plays. I love the team ball Hoosier play over the one on five BS we have gotten used to over the last few years.
