No one else was stepping up so I guess he had to.... 9 is too much though

We had a lot of opportunities after we played great defense. We just couldn't hit a shot.

Is it an injury or just him being sick?

Hope it's just sick .... And not just an "undisclosed injury"

If he is injured, i dont think we even let him play at all. The dude still playing but i think he has the flu/covid/whatever that makes you lose energy with your body.

The coach did.. it's his job to manage those last two minutes and he failed miserably.

We definitely win with a healthy Franz.

We are having great wins and bad losses. I cannot believe this team really couldn’t get a shot.

4/22 FG, 0/12 3PT with 4 turnovers in the 4th quarter.

Ghastly.

They had a time out. Worst possible scenario is they go to overtime. Shoot the 3 on the road to win ALWAYS!

Missed Franz.

Add Schroeder!

Yeah 46 3PA, not sure I like the team taking so many threes as a strategy. It's not their identity and we don't have the roster for it.

They didn't give Suggs a steal on that play where he knocked it off Patrick Williams legs.

Was I the only yelling at the TV "call a time out!!!"? :lol:

we shot 24% from deep. Paolo made a lot of good reads and the guys just couldn't make open shots.

Paolo also stopped getting the ball at the elbow for long stretches but I would need to rewatch this to figure out why

I do not understand why all our shooting guards have a hard time shooting. We can’t keep doing this with this team.

This one is very disappointing, there's no way around it. Could have, and should have, won. Good teams win these. Not saying we're not a good team, but we're not established yet either. We can't just waltz into this season and casually win 47+ again, that's not how it's going to work. You win 47+ again by not throwing away games against teams you're supposed to be better than. Realistically, even the best teams do it sometimes, it's something that happens and it's not the end of the world. But you can't routinely do it. At that point, you're not throwing away games, you're just losing because you're not good. Let's see how they respond.
