Rough finish to a really enjoyable game, will be tough to follow up tomorrow night with the limited availabilities

Wow - what an implosion. 12-0 in overtime.

 

[CTownDown]

Well that escalated quickly

 

[Cavatt]

Anti-climactic.

 

[cabs]

Great game Isaac. Nice tank job by his teammates

Wow, the Sun's really just went big brother on these Cavs in OT.

I mean, that's the best outcome no? Be competitive and lose? At this point it has to be the objective.

Suns look much more engaged on D. Funny that it took them until the OT to get to this point. Our sets on offense are also pretty mediocre, not hard to bust up.

On the other side, Allen is the only one still at it defensively. Okoro would be there, but the minutes and cramps have zapped him. Love/Sexton/Cedi's defense is what it always is. Sometimes they rotate, more times they don't.

And that's your overtime analysis!

Yeah. You want to reward the guys for growth. They won't view this as a victory

 

[Lee]

Then what do you do with Sexton?

Super sub on bench maybe? But Okro seems like a future sg mainly. He is long for a sg, but short for a sf.

Suns came into the game with the 5th rated team defense.

Okoros' breakout game is for real.

Sexton did well running the offense like everyone complains about. This was their best offensive game in weeks. But in overtime they didn't need him to run the offense and watch Osman waste 3 or 4 possessions in a row. He needed to shoot the ball. Oh well.

I hate to come in a game thread not having posted once just to whine but......

A team as young as ours in no way should be freaking tired like that in an OT. What we saw in that OT was an embarrassment of coaching and of the players

 

[kidduck]

Good loss.

8 man rotation playing 53 minutes.

He’s too afraid to because we’ve got lames on here that shit on him for simply breathing and he’s got teammates that haven’t accepted him as the teams leading scorer and it’s blatantly obvious they don’t respect him as such
