The only thing I can think of is embarrassing the leadership, and pull from within. Demar, Aldridge and Gay reacted early last year and started a run, then White went down. I don’t know if DeMar would respond. He seems frustrated out there, maybe not getting the extension that he wants. Gay is showing fight but looks old. Aldridge, nah. I pity Murray because he shows so much fight but doesn’t have the experience and strength to lead. White is composed and has skills, but defers too much. This team needs a leader, and right now their jerseys are all hanging in the rafters.
I’d start with playing solid defense. The offense will come. Play our best defensive players. Stop the open dunks, open 3’s. They should have pride in stopping first. Then the offense will come in the transition. White is too skilled to be playing backup. He needs to be more aggressive to the hole. Murray should play combo and just beat his man. There’s a lot to change, but it starts with solid defense.
