Ball game.

 

[Soar]

what was that timeout for if those were the two plays after it

the tank. :chuckles:

 

[Stark]

And.... damn it.

 

[Typhoon]

Dion needs coaching on his shot selection.

 

[Andy4eva]

Geez we suck at closing games out.

 

[AuxiliaryPie]

Geez we suck at closing games out.

the tank man, think of the tank

[Futuredome]

They battled hard.........

 

[red.]

Can someone tell me about Scott defense? Why do they play man defense and then start to pack the paint?

 

[Andy4eva]

Disappointing loss. Once again our inability to close games out strikes again. I don't feel we deserved to lose this game but it was a fairly even game.

Poor decisions when it counted most just isn't good enough. Doesn't matter if we're young, how many freakin times do you have to fail to realize your errors?

Seriously.

Dion needs coaching on his shot selection.

He also needs to work with a shooting coach.

He will never be anything more than a streaky shooter with the way he shoots. His body is always at an angle and falling away as he shoots. You look at Korver who is always squared up and goes straight up, that is how you bread consistency.

 

[Damien O'Connel]

This is literally a text book example of what happens with a young team.

 

[Rimage]

Dion takes it to the rim 1st half of the game, hits rhythm jumpers goes 7 of 12. Second half he forces up shit and goes 0-9...fuckin terrible.

 

[BlueSeats626]

I can't stand possessions where there isn't even one pass.

That's inexcusable with a young team like this.

Said the same thing watching him come in from SU and Summer League.

The big difference I saw in that first few weeks was his shooting form/consistency. He is right back to that leaning/kicking shit where he tries to release just after steadying himself in the air.

Moreover, I dont like how Kyrie takes a backseat to him, and I dont like how neither of them can truly contest a jump shot from a scoring guard.
