Tired Sonics

I don't know why I'm writing this but, Houston was forcing a lot of that one on one by zoning up and over playing the passing lanes. The team didn't take what the defense was giving them, that is, an invitation to play one on one. Maybe Nate should have put in Flip and let him go at them for 5 or 10 minutes? This is the third game in a row where the other team is over playing the passing lanes to the wing and mixing in some zone. Other than Luke climbing Mt Mutumbo there wasn't much activity that was around the rim.
If you don't like the Flip idea then how about feeding James in the post and have players cut through. Force them to defend somebody rather than an area.
As a side note, it is interesting that Radman made the high/low pass to Ray curling to the paint for a layup in, I think, the second quarter. It's rare that AD makes that pass. Radmaonovic put it right on Ray's hand and that allowed Ray to switch to his left for the lay in in stride, I was a little impressed. Maybe they should run more high low with Radman at the top of the arch. I think they want to do that with Nick but his shot isn't falling. Giving Reggie the ball there doesn't work since he can't shoot and AD will not risk the pass.
