This is what happens when you don't step on an opponent's neck early when they're struggling.

The word to describe this team right now is just "confused".

We need another centre. Also Mitchell and Shead gave us an identity we’re missing right now

I am still thinking, what they actually did in the summer and training camp. Its like they play a pick up game, without a clear structure.

Doesn't even matter who is out there defending, nobody knows what they're doing.

I like him. He seems reliable from 3. Alone that makes him worthy to get more minutes.

Battle was the reason why I was questioning Gradey's fit on the team at all. What do you need him for if you already have Battle who has so far proven to be the way more accurate and prolific 3 point shooter.

Yeah sorry Dick, Battle does everything you do… but better.

He should be ahead of JKW and Dick for sure. I still like Ochai’a D

Darko isn't a good head coach. We had two winnable games and this one.

- No more pressure D
- No more Gradey D

Seems like Darko loves the D?

Battle produces 90% of the time & simply excels at his role. I don't get how you can't find consistent minutes for.a guy like that.

And he’s very fundamentally sound defensively. Doesn’t make mistakes.
