I just put some dudes on ignore who are in here whining with a bunch of doom and gloom worst case scenarios. Fuck that mindset.
Now, about the game...why did we shoot a 2 pointer with 4 seconds left? IMO that's a coaching failure there.
Niang should have been benched when it was obvious he didn't have it tonight against this team. I'd rather see Mook get minutes when Niang is missing his outside shots.
Garland was a lot better tonight, but he had me yelling at the TV when he missed or ignored a wide open JA rolling down the lane inside of 5 minutes, leading to an empty possession. Garland made the pass a few minutes later and JA finished helping us keep pace.
We don't have anyone who can guard Rozier in our arena. Not sure what to say about that.
I thought there was a clear effort to keep the ball moving tonight which is good. Where we failed is a lot of possessions the ball didn't really go side to side forcing the defense to scramble, we were passing but keeping it on one side of the court. Need to make them scramble more.
AT least we played tough, tried to do the right things. Frankly we were outcoached in crunch time which comes as no shock to anyone. If a game comes down to JBB versus Spo, you can lay money that we're gonna lose.
