Was that really the shot we needed?

Horrible last possession by Wall. Seems like he is fading away more on those midrange shots.

Strong comeback. Almost stole one.

Drummond went over Oubre's back though. Officials aren't going to make that call in that situation though.

Good comeback but we really didn't deserve to win that one. Beal needs to get his head right and I don't mean concussion protocol.

Lol that last possession, John wanted to be the hero

Bad way to lose, would have been a good comeback win. John has to stop with the hero ball and run a play.

THIS! Brooks should have taken control and called a play, horrible last possession combined with no hungry rebounders on that last DET possession.

lol John literally stood there the entire final possession

Given how poorly we shot, I'm surprised it was as close as it was.

Silver linings:
- The bench actually helped bring us back into the game in the 4th quarter. Oubre and Smith played well. Burke even scored a few times.
- We found a way to make it tight even with Beal and Porter shooting poorly.

If we had found a way to secure a rebound, we would've stolen one on the road.

How about running a play? All they did was run a two-man game with Morris. Not a guy I want taking a clutch shot. I'd rather see Otto take that shot or at least John driving and dishing.

Everyone hustling their ass off on the final sequence and John just standing there lol

Terrible decisions by John late cost us. Good comeback though, bench starting to show promise.

Jason Smith and Oubre are good pieces off the bench. They really have been playing great the last month. Just hope they can keep it up.

This game hurts a lot..

John didn't box out Morris there, not Kief's fault who had to deal with Drummond. But that's the issue with going small. More spacing on offense but you don't want Wall on a 6-9, 235 pound Marcus.

Jimmy Recard · Post #197 » by **Jimmy Recard** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 1:36 am

John HAS to try and get to the rim on that last possession. Stop bailing the defense out with these long twos

Markief boxing out two guys, Otto and Kelly running at people and fighting for the rebound, Brad runs his ass off to block the corner 3.

John just standing and watching the whole thing

So true, he has to stop with the long 2's off the dribble. Go to the rim!

NatP4 · Post #200 » by **NatP4** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 1:38 am

It literally looked like Brad broke his leg on that one play and he comes back and drills both free throws and runs like hell to block the potential game winner. That's awesome

Which Team Will Taste Sweet Victory?
