The good news is that we are playing against solid teams. Best case scenario is we come out of that stretch 2-7 but I think more likely 5-4.

Yeah, 8 of the 9 games are against teams above .500. Being home will help, but all of the teams we face are solid. 5-4 seems reasonable, or maybe 4-5.

Nah that’s the coaches call and he needs to communicate it… I think sexton should sit down with him and explain to him he needs to get his head in the game.

If I were playing and the coach didn't communicate it to me then i would have fouled anyway. Cause im not an idiot.

Way too many

Hate to say it but if anyone lost us this game it was Lauri. That and Ayton was going to feast no matter who he was up against tonight. Good effort from everyone though.

Nah, was one of those games, Lauri couldn’t find the net. But he did come alive in the last quarter and gave us a chance to win. This was a weird one. NAW, who many here thought cannot shoot, was our best shooter. Those offensive rebounds we give killed us again. Danny’s got to find someone to fix the problem.

Ya but our interior defense and rebounding has been killing for most of the season and he hasn't made a change yet so I dont think he is going to. Maybe they are trying to raise KO trade value to trade him.

Yeah, when Hardy first came in he was a little more of a gambler, or at least he seemed to be. Now that he's settled in, he's just like all the rest, afraid to be caught making a mistake.
I mean make no mistake about it, KO and Vanderbilt should be starting and Kessler definitely should be getting minutes to develop into the impressive talent that he will be. But if I were coach and we're on the back end of a back to back or just getting pummeled on the boards by some behemoth bully, I would turn to my resident behemoth. We've got a secret weapon for spot duty that we're not utilizing.

Lauri and KO are not big or bulky enough to stop Ayton, they were just exhausting themselves which hurts their offensive game also.

Yep, that's a big ask for a couple of guys that played thirty plus minutes the night before. Ayton is a load!

I might but if the coach isn’t clear you wonder if there is something you are missing. It’s like 99% on Hardy imo.

Lauri has to go? From hero to zero in few days.

I find so funny reading all complain here on the board when we are tight with the best team at West atfer 3 quarter.....

You realize they were playing without 3 starters basically right? CP3, Johnson and Crowder didn’t even play. With Payne starting, do they even have a backup PG?

 

[fatcougar]

Did everyone see THT play lazy defense and get beat back door there? Is Hardy going to talk to him? Is Andy Larsen going to tweet about it?

Did you not hear Lakers fans complaints about him? Their mail issue was his awful defensive effort, this isn’t something new, it should’ve been expected.

 

[fatcougar]

Lauri has to be #1 on opposing teams scouting reports. They are denying him the ball and double teaming him.

You realize Lauri busted their butts just a few days ago right, they didn’t want that happening again.

 

[Jazzmix]

Just watched the replay and wanted to ask why the hell we didn't foul when shot clock was running down but I see it's a big mystery for everyone.. Overall solid effort for a second night of B2B, I still don't lose hope in this team.

What about our All Star point guard, Gay and Bolmaro? That’s life in the NBA. Anyway Crowder is on the block and Paul is a member of AARP. Sometimes less is more.
