No shooting on the floor causes that to happen.

Of course our lack of size is an issue but realistically a bunch of guys on our team don’t box out regularly.
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

I really hope he has a good game tonight. I’m getting tired of the “Scottie is a superstar” then “oh it’s okay he’s allowed to suck once in a while”


I'm not expecting him to be good tonight. B2B and adrenaline dump after yesterday's game makes it unlikely to me.

We can never create an open look coming out of a timeout. That’s on Darko

Scottie needs to learn to start his face ups with an up fake or a side jab step.

Maybe go to your bench if your starters suck this bad.

I hate to say it but good teams don't consistently come out with these types of efforts only to spend the entire game trying to claw back.

RJ, even if he doesn't have a great game, seems to cause all others to play better.

Oh man we really really suck without RJ. Even 15 minutes restricted RJ was like a world difference

Again why has quickley only gotten 1 shot in this struggling offense. Why does Darko never draw plays up to get him looks? Out of timeout he does 1 on 1 Scottie post up…
