**Hug**This game is what happens when a real young team has a real bad night. That's what happened- I lived through 86-87 as a fan- I've seen this before under Clem, only that was worse, perhaps much worse. They will win a few at the end of the year and then be pretty good next year. McBrayer who is going to be really good, was really bad. Murphy got his usual quick fouls. Konate got his fumble hands back. Mason was off and Dorsey who played hard got stuffed repeatedly. King did nothing. Morris did nothing. Buggs did nothing. So 14 big points from our leaders, no help there for the struggling youngsters.
Right now none of these guys have any confidence that the ball is going to go in when they shoot it. McBrayer and Dorsey don't even consider open threes now. That's a big deal- it affects everything and it takes the energy out of players. Right now the team is shooting 41% fg% and 32% 3pt % for the year and it is far worse in the BT I'm sure. Shooting is a fundamental issue here.
I'm with ya brother.
This board likes to slam the roster, and then slam the coach for being unable to get the roster (which they already slammed him for) to not perform like a contender.
They go hand in hand, it's why "good coaches" seem to often have talented teams. Rarely is there a case where a good coach wins with a ****ty team, I think Bill Billichek is the only coach in modern times where people have said he'll beat you with his guys or your guys, doesn't matter.
