What severe misdeed did Tay Henny commit to get Hardy's ire? It seems like his length might have helped on Merrill. Och was awful tonight.

Our team is one of the worst ball handling teams in the NBA. Pretty sure I've made this observation on here before.

And one of the worst in decision-making as well. Tonight’s game was winnable, but we started to overdribble in the 4th quarter with no ball movement. It showed the main weakness of our team and what type of guards we have. Their decision-making went out the window when we were behind and our guards tried to catch up by forcing iso plays.

Another rough outing for Kessler. He looks like a completely different player this year. Also, very disappointing to see Hendricks glued to the bench. What's the point of playing Collins and Olynyk ahead of him if we're going to lose anyway?

the guy was 2-5 from 3pt tonight. 40% 3pt shooting is awful ??

I watched it.
His entire game was off tonight. Don't think he even got a bucket until the 3rd quarter.

Very encouraging loss. That roster we played against was *** and we still lost
If someone needs to be called out its Kessler, Ochai and Dunn. Inconsistency is one thing but I dont really know what those three contributed this game, as it sure wasnt scoring, rebounding or defense. Its amazing how 3 guys who combined to be 75% from the field also combined to score just 21 points in 60 combined minutes. I also swear to god Sexton did not pass the ball to anyone but Walker all night. His vision was so glued to the rim that it sort of makes sense that he didnt see anyone except the guy who was there.
I say the biggest reason we lost this was losing the offensive rebound battle 6 to 14. Shouldnt happen when they were without Mobley and Allen got just 8 total boards.... but it did. I mean the one thing we have done well this year was the thing that failed us. They beat us in 2nd chance points 23 to 9 which is more than the difference in the scoreboard, when we should have beaten them on that stat quite clearly.
Refs also sucked and they were super weird about completely ignoring moving screens and calling fouls on players going around them. Did it to both teams though. I swear Tristan Thompson didnt set his feet for even a second on few of his screens but our guards got the foul calls trying to go around those.
