If Wafer can get a bit more under control... and make a good dribble penetration off the pick, he can definitely make some good plays (scoring or passing)... he needs to get some chemistry out there

God I hate Duhon so much. Two opportunities to get the ball to Ryan, and not a single look. Smh

To be fair it's really difficult for players to go from playing night games to playing a game at 1pm on a Monday. It throws their entire system off.

Our offense looks like similar to that of one ran in a pick up game.

That might have been the worst offensive set/attempt at running a play I've ever witnessed.

I don't see how that's a foul? WTH are up with these refs?

And yeah, I'd concur that it doesn't look like anybody on either side cares about this game. Maybe they have MLK on their mind or something...

Anderson has had a mismatch two times in a row and they refused to give it to him. Ryan may not be imposing, but he has post moves people.

And that's where you are wrong, because defensively is where a coaching adjustment is needed, not an adjustment on Dwight. Dwight doesn't normally leave the lane wide open, he's being told to go out on those double-teams.

This team is so much better when we don't force the ball to Dwight for scoring. Nobody gets open jumpers off of a Dwight post iso anymore. This isn't 2009.

Jesus Stan where is the coaching with the second unit? is he even calling any plays? our ball movement sucks so the ball ends up in wafers hands at the end of the shotclock with no spacing to work with...genius stuff right there

I swear Stan thought about Liggins or whoever he could put in for Wafer looking at his last shots

I'm not necessarily saying it was an incorrect call, but I never get it when the trailing official at half way calls something that is happening on the opposite side of the court and there is another official about 5 feet from it, with a clear and unobstructed view. not calling anything.

Sorry, like I said, I'm used to watching real basketball offenses. Not this abomination that Dwight calls an offense.

Von Wafer needs to drive the lane. Nobody brings him onto a team looking for jumpshooting.

It's not about that. She just consistently makes bad calls and calls that ruin the flow of the game.
