    Dillon Brooks missed some open shots late as well........................you can look a lot of things that didn't help.

    Great game. Tough loss. You can't win them all though and our boys fought to the end. On to the next one.

    His confidence is shook. Passes are short, looks scared. However, I've never seen an offensive line allow so many defenders in the backfield untouched.

    Sorry I didn't see any coaching in clutch moments.

    We had 4 pts lead that blew away in 1 minutes.

    I’m not going to blame anyone for the last play. They just didn’t connect.

    Exciting game. The Rockets fought back, but couldn’t close it out. Sadly, poor shooting for the game did us in.

    I agree with everything said here. The lack of aggression on both those plays led to bad outcomes. He should’ve used two hands on that catch with intentions to catch and dunk, but we both know he would’ve done a layup that he probably would’ve missed

    They outrebound, outhustle, out strength teams but is it really beautiful to watch on Offense when shots are not falling.....

    It is not a good Offense.

    I am an Alpee fan but he has mismatch and matchup problems which is well documented.

    It is really just a one way street with Ime. Genius but won't find a great coordinator on O.

    It's clear to me that we are probably just Anfernee Simons away from being a top-5 team. He takes roughly the same number of shots as Green but is an A+ 3 point shooter. While he's not a good defender neither is Green so we wouldn't be losing anything on defense and would gain significant offensive power.

    Three easy plays that could’ve swung the game…

    1. Jalen’s missed middy after easily making space against Dame

    2. Dillon’s wide open 3

    3. Alpi getting his ball tipped (might have been a goaltend) by Giannis.

    The defense was good, the effort was good, I wish we got the win and I’m a little salty we didn’t. That said, as bad as the Bucks’ record is, they’re still an above average team from a talent standpoint so losses will happen.

    Doesn’t make me less pissed though

    “My job is to get you open shots. Your job is to make those open shots” - me to the team I coach.

    Brickari man he was supposed to be the best fit for Sengun. Turns out if you are a dogshit basketball player your size doesn't worth a thing.

    I dunno seemed like Sengun didn’t get off of Giannis in time and didn’t track the pass well because he started watching mid air [​IMG][​IMG]

    Yep. Execution. The plays were all there to be made. Just needed 1 of those.
