Was at the game today & will be there tomorrow also. FWIW what I saw in the first half was a very entertaining basketball game if you didn't care who won [either team] because neither team can play defense and all they tried to really do was shoot 3's. We are really very athletic, something I don't think we have been in quite a while. But we have no clue how to stay in front of a long range shooting team and stay up on them. We were so scared they were going around us in our m-to-m defense that we gave them a 3 foot gap to get off their 22 foot jumpers. That means we know we have no help side defense if we get beat off the dribble.
They popped for 16-30 on 3's and rained them at will. When they got around us they did get to the rim easily & made their athletic lay ups--something we don't do very well. We put up junk on the break and put up contested back to basket junk like it is "our turn to shoot" instead of finding the open man. Sorry to say this is a 10-12 win team. We just haven't learned in 4+ years to play any defense. Or want to play any defense.
