Maybe I should rephrase that you "You aren't using it the way it was designed to be used"

It may be effective in that form, but I dont think thats as effective as if the offense were actually balanced, the way its intended to be.

i think it find the best for situations not just 1 scorer overall in the game but indeed you will be using your best shooters making taking shots. I cant say for certain. i have played better team with good od, ill say paitince is very smart skill kept tactic.. It not all about 3pts. its mid range shots too not alot guards have inside defense :). Like siad having good passing team is the key.

tell you what. Inbox me we shall friendly and we can dis cuss during the game.

That looks like English, but I cant be sure.

English or Spanglish.

^^ is what you wrote english i can't be sure?

Ahh I see the issue. Let me correct it.

I thinks its an eglish but might it be could a different speaking.

One thing to consider before going patient is if ypur opponent has better then average OD ratings. If he has I would never run patient as high OD is a killer for patient.

Unless the opponent always plays M2M and you can confirm that he's got bad OD at at least one position (usually C) and play your shooter there. But I'm pointing that out more for general consumption as I know you know this.

I don't know if this helps clearing things out, but earlier you said you haven't seen a guard or SF get many shots in a patient offense while being played at the PF or C spot. I recently played a game with that setup, and my SG Nikos Sotirakis (who played C) took 50 of the 93 field goal attempts my team took.

I had my guard trainees play the PF/C spots, and some bigs man the guard spots for gameshape reasons so my lineup was a bit crazy. I picked patient hoping my trainees would take outside shots vs his bigs, which happened (he shot 11-22 on 3's, he played M2M defense). I had a good shooter at backup PG who took 12 shots in 15 minutes, so it seems as the offense shifted to him when he was on the court. Other than these 2 and a PF playing SF, I didn't have any suitable offensive options (bigs at guard positions and guards at big positions), and even with the corresponding low passing throughout the team (the guards at the big spot had below respecteable passing, only the C playing PG had respectable), 70 of the 93 shots my team took were taken by the 3 players I wanted them to take.

Maybe this helps understanding the patient offense a bit better.
