    That’s such a dumb shot by CJ. Takes a side step three before he even has a teammate inside the three point line.

    They push the ball and dominate in the paint.
    We need to do the same.

    Make that 40 in the paint.

    The second quarter was a better effort but they’re still being outplayed pretty badly.

    This team has bad habit to give up points right when the quarter ends.

    I don’t think I hate anything more than possessions where only one guy touches the ball, and it seems like no coach enables it more than Stotts.

    straight line drives to the rim.

    that's what we give up. and no resistance from nurk or kanter.

    What about another 1 point lost. That would be awesome and we will hold the 7th seed.

    Yes one thing wrong with Stotts no accountability with his two guards that just might put him out of a job.

    Yes. But I don’t blame those two for it. Straight line drives are squarely on the perimeter defenders.

    We just aren’t very good.

    They take hard shots and well defended shots without even working the ball around for a good shot.

    Our defense compounds things.

    The greatest coaches of all time preached a simple philosophy; ball movement, player movement.

    Oh that’s the worst. I remember those great Spurs teams. They’d drive and kick it out 3 times in a possession if it meant an open look.

    CJ is shooting alright but Dame and Powell is 4-17. If your going play a guard oriented offense then you need all 3 hitting. CJ been impressive on the boards lately.

    Most sad part is that we’ve been shit since Powell got here. He probably won’t resign with this garbage offense.
