It looks like James is back sitting on the bench after having a strong 2nd.

I felt better about the playoffs the year we barely made it I think on the last game.

Why does demar drive with the sole purpose of drawing a foul... How about actually getting a good shot.

Losing to these scrub teams is hangover enough, might as well go the distance..

Both he and Lou have this issue. Lowry also sometimes

Having this much trouble against the fourth worst team in the league. Playoffs are going to be a nightmare.

We had similar troubles with Lou Amundson and his New York Knickerbockers

A big problem with hedging aggressively is that the rolling big will be open, and if a wing/guard sinks to cover the roll then their man is available for a pass and then attack of the ensuing closeout. Thus rotations/closeouts have to be perfect timing and positioning wise, or else the defense will break down.

Difficult to sustain.
