Chiefs Briefs - Colorado Edition

Is anyone waiting for practice Ross to show up? He comes in looks shakey with his handle and misses open threes. He lost his man like 3 times.

We need Mahney to score. I get why he didn’t play in 2nd half as no one could get a stop and he’d make it worse. But he needs to come in play the 2. Come off screens and get in the lane. He can score he’s just not a pg and can’t run this offense.

We ran so many plays for open threes but when we were missing we needed to attack the paint. Only ball did that at the end. Diarra in the 2nd half ran some nice pick and rolls. We need more of that. We took too many threes and not enough pressure at the rim.

Tarris couldnt get position against there big and like not once did we get him the ball on the block. Thats a mistake. Need to run plays for him like we did Adama to get him angled and in scoring position.

Hurley needs to figure out rotation and the roles for these guys. We need role players and starters who play important minutes. Johnson, Mahaney and Stew with some Nowell all need to know their roles off bench (if he finally benched Samson).

Maybe hanging out in the paint then running over to the corner to stop the three point shot by your man isn't the way to go.

Way too much of this.

Defense was decent. He got a half step on McNeeley in order to get that shot up. He did a little fake left and got the step. McNeeley recovered good and forced him into a tougher shot but still. Good man defense doesn’t let him get by you.

He didn’t get “by him” at all. He made a throw going straight towards the baseline Liam never allowed him to turn towards the basket it was good defense. The guy had no idea he was going to make that prayer.

Bc the refs were calling the game so tight ‘m& straight up poorly- McNeeley had to back off at the end so he could pray a no foul was called- people are way overlooking the foul madness the last two days.

It's November

If it was known as "November Madness", you'd be spot on

We'll be a lot better come March

If that were the case, I feel like they'd market it as "November Neurosis" just for alliteration.

The team REALLY misses Clingan's defense.

While Diarra is a gritty defender and tough as nails, he shouldn't be taking the final win/lose shot. He's only shooting 17% from three on the season. I think I heard the announcers say he was 3-15 from three coming into the game. Gotta be Karaban catching/not passing in.

What game were you watching? Karaban was 1/9 fg and 1/7 from 3. Diarra was 4/7 and 3/4 from 3 (including that miss, which means he was perfect from three before that play).

Also Diarra made a clutch play at the end of regulation the night before with a perfect pass to Solo.

Not to mention he's got the clutch gene.

It is unfortunate to lose 2 games(so far)and not be what we were billed(#2) to be. Bright side is it is going to be fascinating to watch our staff go back after Maui and get to work. This journey may end up in the promised land or being a 2 year rebuild as some have mentioned. Who cares, it’s Husky hoops and we all love it. Bring on the Flyers.
