    Until the incorporate more slashes, cuts or lob opportunities, it's tough to see where more O will come from. They are certainly not utilizing his strengths very often. #1 slasher in the league last year. This year.....tough to even calculate how much he has fallen. #Coaching/scheme

    Why don’t we full court press? Everyone else seems to do it.

    1 three pointer. We cannot win if we don’t start hitting from deep.

    Have you seen the one dribble blow-bys? Extending that to 80ft would only be worse.

    To be outscored by 27 from the 3pt line and only be down 11 is very lucky.

    Its tough when the only way you can be in a game is when you’re hit from 3. We rely mostly on the 3.
