Message: [QUOTE="Umami Zen, post: 4488739, member: 10678"] Every team has its flaws. How do you hide them or compensate for them is the question? To my eye.. We are getting out-toughed.. out-hustled.. out-worked. In our two recent losses.. Those teams imposed their will on us.. worked the refs.. and dictated play to our weaknesses. . In the BE..You have to "hold serve " at home and win those games to be a contender.. Feast on the weaker teams/grab a few Ws on away games with the stronger and mid-level teams. We have lost to two of the strongest teams in the BE on their home courts playing our "C" game. Should not have been totally unexpected. Greg and Shaka know what they need to do to beat us --if they can.. If I was Hurley (Captain Obvious here) I would not expect any favors from the refs.. Got to win games through coaching and player performance.. Stop whining and play BE BB.. Tough/intense/win 50/50 balls/boards. Friars had 5 guys hitting the boards in most sequences last night. The Yard does a great job of breaking down our deficiencies.. And we have them.. I'll be happy with a 3-2 record going through this 5 game stretch and looking at some winnable games after that to get things back on track. All that matters is the next game.. [/QUOTE]
