plain and simple we don't have the personnel to compete in most games this year.
Larkin was atrocious down the stretch but like as another poster said he's good in small bursts. He's fine off the bench for a few minutes a night but nothing more. We need a real true PG who can handle the game.
Then we need another option that can take care of the ball and score when needed. And way better defense on the 3pt line and solid shooters all around.
I hope to god we address this issues, bc this was an easily winnable game from a fan's perspective.

our 3 point issues defensively are an issue for the same reason they have been for years:
our bigs cant defend the pick and roll. our wings need to constantly help to impeded the rolling bigs. here is a pefect example of one we have seen over and over the past 4 or 5 seasons:
Brook is slow to recover to gortat, thad has to step into the paint to make sure he isnt alone at the rim, and the corner 3 (thads man) is left wide open.

there are better examples... especially from last season. ill try and find them.. ones where deron steps in from the wing to prevent a rolling howard or jordan from an easy dunk, and his guy is wide open in the corner for 3

we need better defensive guards and forwards cause thad and brook are limited defensively.
