Monty Williams strikes again. Worst late-game coach in the league. Worst coach in the league overall.

Stats werent woefully differed except for the "points in the paint" category. Which seems to be the case in a whole lot of these 10-15 point losses.

Got a nice long look at how teams guard us when we play Ausar and Duren together - just leave Ausar open in the corner, put pressure on Cade, and the rest falls apart.

We 100% cannot play Duren and Ausar together against good teams, or in crunch time when teams lock in. They flat out left Ausar wide open in the corner crunch time.

All teams in todays NBA are capable of exploiting lineups with 2 non shooters.

Its also compounded problem due to our "core 4" having zero even league average 3pt shooters in it. League average NBA 3pter is 36.6% while Cade is only at 34.3% and Ivey at 33.9%.

Troy Weaver is banking on alot of miracle working on the shooting improvements for the "core 4" to fit on the basketball court in a positive manner anytime soon.

For sure, our worst four shooters in our 10 man rotation next year should be Duren, Ausar, Ivey, Cade.... Everyone else needs to be able to hit 36+% from deep or you're not a rotation play here IMO.
