What i saw was us come out looking supremely dominant and then sleep walking until the final 6 minutes where we resumed domination again. But that Caruso shot goes in and i dont think anyone on our team was prepared to go to overtime. Seemed like we lost our juice completely.
Almost every defensive possession was awful. The amount of times we had guards in the paint against Vuc and Drummond while Giannis, Portis and Brook were guarding the perimeter was too many times to count. It happens again and again. Then you get burned on the perimeter because you have guys that can't keep up, or burned inside because you have no length.
We were smashed on the boards because our bigs are always out of position.
We decided not to foul on the inbounds on that last play to give them two shots and take possession. Brook had no business being on the floor on that last play.
Middleton was not in the game at all in OT.
Yeah Giannis played down for most of the game, and Dame was too passive, and Portis was a turnstile who's lost his shot, but so much of what is happening is on the coaching.
