I read that earlier and it sounds like a bunch of bull**** to me.
There isn't some secret art to handling a teammate who gets doubled in the post. All you have to do is move. That's it. You think Cleveland is the first team that has ever had a teammate get doubled? These are NBA players, they've been playing for years. It really doesn't take 20 games to learn how to handle a double team. It takes 20 minutes in practice.
To avoid posting a player up who you think has an advantage because you are uncomfortable with the crispness in which his teammates will handle the double teams is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.
