i'm just saying. i'm not particularly fond of hoiberg but i would like to give him a fair chance. from what i've seen in the preseason and few games, his offense favors pace, 3pt shooting, and ball movement... opposite of wade and butler's skills.

air gordon wrote:fair points. i think the blame goes on management not Hoiberg. they brought him in for his offensive scheme but have hamstrung him with a roster that doesn't fit his scheme. you hire a sushi chef to make sushi, not make pasta.
as we all know, Garpax said they would go young and athletic and proceeded to sign Rondo and Wade.
the cards were stacked against hoiberg since he was hired. thibs shadow and now he has the garbage roster.
and hoiberg did adjust his schemes, opting to use a lot of sets Thibs used during his tenure. i would say it was testament on how good Butler is that this team was .500 despite being near bottom in 3pt shooting and forcing TO's.

Niko is at "practice" but away from the team and on an exercise bike while. meanwhile Portis is back and from the reports is doing well. so the dude who got knocked active but not even practicing with his team while the guy who knocked him out is playing and playing well.
I’m a normal guy. I’m a guy that’s a high character guy, low maintenance guy. I’d welcome him in with open arms,” Portis said.
