To a degree I can understand getting to a point where the team is like "we need a basket, let's give Demar an iso", but this game it was like that for the entire team. Meanwhile you have Denver on the other hand just picking them apart with ball movement and player movement. What's even more annoying is that you know the Bulls are capable of the same thing but for whatever reason they just don't. I put that on BD because no matter what players you have on the team, they should at least be able to move around.
Derozan averaged nearly 7 assists per game in San Antonio his final year (6+ in his tenure), it's not like he can't make plays for others. It's up to BD to make the system function in a way to make sure of it.
Pick and roll or working the ball into Vuc also generally seems to result in good things, but we rarely do it. That's on BD. Strangely enough, when Dragic and Drummond are in the game what do they do? Pick and roll...and it usually results in good things and is part of the reason the bench unit does well. I appreciate Vuc shooting less 3s this year, but it seems like that has also come with him just shooting less in general. He's an all star level talent, use him that way.
If you're going to iso Demar, let him do it out of the mid post, Kobe/MJ style. He's so good in that range and usually teams will double because they know what will happen if they don't. Double teams gives opportunities for others to score and forces players to move or you are clearly just trying to give away possessions. We saw it vs Toronto in back to back games, we don't need Demar to shoot every time to score points, we can use him as a decoy.
To me those are all coaching things, and there's so many other things I could point out. I would find it shocking if these pro coaches couldn't see the same thing.
