Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 5127327, member: 974"] We win a more evenly officiated game. But we lost so it doesn't matter. Offense was NOT the problem. Memphis shredded our defense. If Johnson could have stayed on the floor, he would have helped the defense with some rim protection. He would have also provided some protection for the guards. Losing him so quickly was bad. When Reed fouled out we were down by 10 or 11. Johnson came in and Memphis only scored 3 points in the final 3+ minutes as we erased the lead. We got stops. He has to be smarter or we will run Reed into the ground. But he has to give us more meaningful minutes. Memphis shot over 50% from Three and over 50% overall. So the defense was pretty bad everywhere. The offense was NOT the problem. [/QUOTE]
