    Stotts offense - have your guards jack up as many tough shots as possible after dribbling the air out of the ball.

    We have been a pretty streaky shooting team the last 10 games or so.
    I thought the Pels might be a bad match up as they are long scrappy and quick.

    In the first half we saw a lot of good shots just not go in, this half we can't even get off good shot.

    I haven't liked CJ's game for a couple of years now. Tonight's game only solidifies that feeling.

    We're not prepared to react to Dame being doubled. A big problem is that our offense doesn't involve passing except from the guard on pick and roll, so the team is not prepared and experienced to be able to pass and find the open man.
