How hard is it to be like "forget the score, these are some of the few minutes you guys get, let's run everything as though it's a close game and see what you have".
Instead, we just do one pass and then a three or we have someone drive into a crowded key and throw up trash. That's not helping these guys long term.
Team is checked out
This is complicated by injuries but if it were me, I would go so far as to take end of bench guys out and replace them with starters if they're not willing to play correctly.
The plus side would be that guys like Mulder and Brazdeikis could win additional minutes simply by being willing to run our handoff, screen, drive gameplan.
The other plus side is they'd be able to show they can play within an offence, or, rather, they can prove they're capable role players. They'll get nowhere showing they can cook guys off the dribble because once they get serious minutes, they'll be role players.
I'll stop ranting now.
