Add to all of the above Tulsa's concentration (i.e. game plan) on him and him alone. Boat can't have a bad game, this hasn't occurred with us for years.
Ricky had so many others
Khalid had help
Taliek had everyone else
Marcus had Price and others
Price had Kemba and others
Kemba had Alex/Scoe/Bazz/Lamb
Bazz had Boat/DD/Giffey.
Boat has ????
All of these players in their final year had a consistent number two and three scorers.
Boat has no one (closest is DHam who is a year away). How the fruck did this happen?
As good as he is and to me the best pg in the country, sadly I also think that consequently this issue is affecting his NBA status. He's a one man team working with less than Ollie, if that makes sense.
So 2014-2015 Boat is above criticism in my book, its actually to me sad to see him in this position. If Jalen gets the keys he will break the cycle, and sadly may make posters forget what Boat endured for one season. Hang his fukin jersey I say.
