It was strange that we ran so few ball screens for Mack. Were we afraid he’d just get doubled hard off of them and wouldn’t be able to take advantage? I’m not sure I can remember more than a handful of ball screens from our bigs; Ajogbor got a dunk off of one toward the end of the game.
Nelson was a huge loss. He was miscast as a point guard, but would have been very solid as a combo guard who could drive or shoot against defenses keyed in on Mack; those just aren’t Pigge’s skills. And Pitcher is the great what-if. He seemed tailor made for this matchup where rebounding and three point shooting from your bigs can be so important.
