Zach and his ball security. Needs to cut down on the turnovers.

zach regresses so bad in end-of-game situations sometimes

he's a good enough shotmaker that it works out occasionally but he really doesn't have to go into heroball mode as much as he does

It looks like the rest of the team deferred to this so I don’t know who is to blame. But hero ball makes sense on a last second shot. Not all of the last 2 minutes

Zach has lost us at least 3 games this season with his turnovers/hero ball at the end.

He always pounds the rock until it slips out of his hands at the end of the game.

Just run PnR with Lauri. Keep it simple.

Once again unable to close out a close game.

So many mistakes down the stretch here. Turnover after turnover.

Alot of this is not on lavine

The ball keeps finding itself in his hands with the shot clock running down.

Its the lack of pg play hurting us right now

We seriously are in need of a vet pg and a big who can protect the rim. We get that we can be competitive in the east

Can't agree more.

Just look a the difference when Valentine is running our offense

We have Sato, he's perfectly serviceable as the 12-18 minute a game PG who keeps the team calm and the offense humming.

Sigh what a classical bulls choke. Let's see how it finishes.

The thing with Zach and any high usage players, they are going to average a minimum of 3 turnovers or so, but Zach has so many unforced turnovers, it's almost crazy to see at times. Not sure if he has small hands or something, or it's a lack of focus, but the unnecessary loss of possession because of a silly unforced turnover is just brutal at the end of games.

Why not just drive the ball.
