Bad on ball D. Move your damn feet, …

Dammit, Franz…

Another in and out. We are more snakebite than people who have literally been bitten by snakes.

Defense is terrible…no comprehension of what the opponent can do… running at guys who aren’t gonna shoot, giving up strong side drives, no help rotation at all or very late at best.

John’s can’t guard anyone…

I don’t think it has to be close. This isn’t always how it get’s called but it’s supposed to come down to body control and Eli was the one in control of his body.

Are y’all aware that there are plays and sets in basketball other than Pick and roll? Teske goes in and draws a foul immediately on a post-up set. You can run high-low. There is A LOT of basketball strategy that isn’t the modern spread and shred pick and roll stuff. Clearly we can’t run it since we’ve been shooting sub 30% from 3 for almost two months now.

Hot take: maybe the problem with the team is Fan karma. Maybe we need to show more belief collectively and see if it has a positive impact…

Edit: as I wrote this we rallied.

Johns just need to clumsily cause turnovers

I just did and therefore take credit for the last little spurt. You’re all welcome.

It seems like we can’t keep their guards out of the paint, but they’re not fully taking advantage - so far.

And Castleton in for the last minute. Biggest disappointment of the season. Hope he turns it around though

not on my teevee

This half for our team

First 3:18 - 9 points

Next 10:04 - 5 points

Final 5:38- 16 points

In a sense only being down 4 is a blessing but even mediocre offense in the 10 minute stretch means we’re winning.

Lets get a stop here and get to half down 4 at worst.

when was the last time we went a half without an assist?

I feel a little bad for Castleton that he never gets to play the 5 anymore. He is just not a 4.
