    Totally unacceptable. Guess we are seeing why those guys were getting DNPs earlier this year.

    I really thought Giles would be better.

    What's that? The first time he's been passed the ball in how many games? He's useless because he didn't expect the ball and turned it over?

    Impressive analysis...

    I would say it was a part of it, yes. 16% conversion rate isn't going to help you build a lead.

    He was passed the ball last game. You're blaming him dropping an easy pass for a dunk on who?

    You got Jones air ball a 3 and Trent barely hitting the rim and both of them the rocket took and push it down the court. The end of that 2nd quarter we look like we was on a back to back and at the end of road trip that's how bad we look.

    Didn't expect the ball?! He was looking right at Kanter as it got passed to him. Come on, man!

    I would say when you don't utilize the strength of your players and don't develop them, that would be a bigger reason. Little is told to hide in the corner.

    He was MVP of both the McDonald's All American and Jordan Classic. The only other player to do that was LeBron James. We know he can play.

    Unfortunately the coach has ZERO INTEREST in developing him.

    On him. He has to stay ready.

    But, you're blaming the deficit on who?

    He was standing at 2ft, not in the corner, and dropped an EASY pass. Why are you trying to blame that on anyone else?

    Guys turn the ball over. It's basketball. That's not the reason why we lost our huge lead.

    You're scapegoating.

    I'm not blaming it on anyone. We were the underdogs coming in for a reason.
