The problem is, whoever receives the pass hesitates. They have to attack the closeout or shoot immediately. Instead, they pause and Orlando's defense has a time to regroup. It's minor things like that that kill us. Guys are playing hard, they're just not doing the little things.

Missing a lot of Makable shots....

Time for Troy Brown. Not like he's the only turnover machine. Morris has 2. Howard has 2. Green has none which makes no sense because had that violation for stepping over the end line. I guess they credited Rivers with that one.

True, slow decision making. I dont know why. Is it that they dont know the offense? Is it that they want to go one-on-one and are waiting for the defender to do something?

Damn, Beal has a cutting Otto and throws to bricklayer John Wall. Smart basketball.

Can we play some D? Two plays in a row, we left a man WIDE open. Not a defender within 15 feet, and that is hard to do.

I have to ask, not a rhetorical question but does it seem that Wall is playing like complete garbage and doesn't ever seem motivated?

I don’t know how you can keep brooks around, he is not reaching this group.

I dont want to see Wall shoot another long 2 or 3 ball for a while. he should be passing the ball inside. Let Howard (who is having a good game) work the inside. Then afte that has been establised, bring the ball back out.

So what’s Beals excuse

Ottos excuse

Morris excuse

Sato excuse

This looks like a collective effort by the team to get coach Brooks fired.

They are trying to set a record for most turnovers in a game. I'm pretty sure of it at this point.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner
