Mo Harkless couldn't finish a layup or tip in all night.....or shoot a 3....we didn't have offensive production from the forwards at all
Pretty sure he’s talking about the 4th. Basketball is a game of runs. Nurk could’ve easily gone off in the 4th if he got any chance.
Nurk left the game in the 3rd when we were up by 8, 62-54. 30 seconds later, we went up by 10, 65-55. He didn't come back in until we were down 69-65, and they made a contested three shortly after to make it 72-65. 14 points of the 17-0 run were without Nurkic on the floor. He broke the run with a layup right after. So how was he responsible for our third quarter downfall?
I didn't blame Nurk...I'm saying he was on the court when we lost the lead and he didn't play good defense during that stretch. Nobody did
he was...just not for all 17 pts of the run....defense is a team skill...we didn't keep a string on D all night ...I'm baffled Nurk didn't play the end game just like everybody else..I'm just not assuming he would have saved the day last night...Pat, CJ and ET would still turn over the ball when the game was on the line
Okay, use the past year to throw him under the bus then. Everything I said in the OP is stuff that is still happening now. @yuyuza1 and others thought it was a stupid overreaction, but I've always been right about Stotts.
