We've gone over how he's allowing Vital and Gilbert to get away with bad IQ bball over and over and how it's cost us in all three losses. The sitting on his timeouts as things are unravelling is another bugaboo that's happened in all three losses, and the hockey line subs has happened in every game. I also don't like keeping both Gilbert and Akok out at the same time with 2 fouls, I would have to review the tape to see if that's the case but some other posters have pointed it out. That one I can undertand more but it's also when the wheels came off.
My biggest gripe is with the gameplan. I watched Indiana's previous two games and it was apparent ballhandling and passing were far from a strength, at times they could barely get the ball inbounded and pressure had them turning it over left and right. I said before the game we had to show them pressure looks because of it and as we know our offense is a slog in the halfcourt. I'm really surprised we didn't try and force them out of their comfort zone. Our defense was fine in the halfcourt and we lost this game because of turnovers and lack of offense but some trapping would have boosted our offense and limited our turnovers, IMO. We have to start playing to our strengths more.
