I'm in no way trying to blow sunshine up everyone's tail pipe here, but if there's anything remotely consoling about this game, it was that those three starters (Berry, Paige, and Meeks) were complete no-shows, and we were still one Roy Botch away from still winning the damn thing.
Do you dispute that the chance of us scoring would have at least been better if we had called a TO and at least calmed down? just asking.How were we "one Roy botch away" from winning the game? We're we gaurenteed to score if Roy called a timeout? How about if we went 2 for 10000 from three? We would have won, right?
Sjung - I for some reason couldn't bring myself to watch a minute of the game. Or even check the score until the end. Well, I checked it once and we were up about 8 at the 12 minutes left timeout.Brice Johnson 0 FGA's in the last 4:30 = LOSS.
Brice Johnson 1 FGA in the last 12:30 of the game = LOSS.
Be realistic. It isn't breaking news that we can't shoot and that Kennedy was irrelevant to the game. Those have been patterns. We ignored Brice. That's why we lost. He should have gone for 40/20 and have a game for the ages, but it got taken away from him by his own team.
Sadly that was not Meeks loafing, that was Meeks hustling at his best. He's just slow with no leaping ability. It's Paige it's really let this team down. He doesn't show for the big games nor has the all season. His play has regressedMeeks doesn't play hard enough, it is that simple. He should have been busting his tail to get position down low and on the boards with his size advantage. Instead he loafed around the court.
