Ah Rodney not waiting til the game is entirely out of reach.

Right now, we are about even in rebounds, steals, blocks, turnovers, and fouls. But we've missed 7 free throws and our shooting percentage is worse. So..not every facet. Don't let facts trip you up on the way to your whine fest..

Good teams make it difficult to hit shots. Memphis is unusually long as well, so that's why our field goal percentage is low. Plus Tubby is switching up his man-to-man looks with a sporadic zone every now and then. He's doubling our bigs because he knows we can't pass out of a double team.

It's not just "we're shooting poorly tonight." Our anemic offense is putting us in a bad position to make high percentage shots.

Finally some life then Vital and Adams clobber each other. Unbelievable

The season in a nutshell.

 

[BlueDogs]

Was it also a coaching thing when Vital and Purvis were hitting their shots over the last 6 games? Or does that not count?

It's hard to separate one from the other is my point. Sometimes they are disciplined, move the ball well and create good opportunities. Other times, they rush shots, get no penetration, miss mismatches or force the ball. Obviously, good looks creates better opportunities to convert.

Many of the shots we missed were open looks. Free throws are also open looks. You can't dispute that. It happens.

And now look what happens when we hit them...

That was good offense on the Adams three and he got a good shot.

We're hitting contested shots. I haven't seen a lot of open looks since the earlier stages of the 1H.

Ollie has Amida way too long on the bench. Vance should be on the bench right now. We need rim protection at this point.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Just can't get over the hump.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Worst D we've played in a long time. Need Brimah in. Jackson is useless tonight

 

[BugsyCT]

Still right in it.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

[BugsyCT]

Tough break there. Really needed that breakaway.

Good call, watch the replay we didn't have possession.
