Man-- IDK-- they are the type of players who are going to "get thieirs".... it's the inability to rebound and letting their role players impact the game that is killing us.
Harper and Bailey is literally all they have. I can see how they, when those two are on, could beat just about anyone. I can also see how they, when those two are off, could lose to anyone.
We will not get where we want to go if we continue to lose on that end of the floor like we have these past few games. We need that DOG Hawaii mentality back.
Sigh-- I can live with those Bailey threes that he hit at the end... even if he did travel. AND HE DID.
But our D has not been good outside of those types of shots. Rebounding sucks!
100% re-reading that post made it seem like they SHOULD have taken that shot. I’m more in favor of Pitt being pissed about it as you said.
If Pitt had called off the dogs, making that bucket is more than meaningless to them in the eyes of the metrics.
In an era of NET efficiency and metrics correlating to tournament births, is there a thing such as a “meaningless” bucket? Every basket, point, etc matters. To the very end.
