Obviously easier said then done. Again, every offense looks good when players are hitting shots and every offense looks bad when players are missing shots. Another thing that bothers me is when analysts say someone is defending well, when in reality, open looks are being missed.

There is nothing wrong with our offense. The issue is with players making plays. They are in position to make an open shot, or make a bunny or make their free throws. I am not going to throw anyone under the wheels of the bus, but, an offense (our offense) will look so much better when plays are executed as expected.

Will they be available next game, or will they have to forfeit?

Next day thoughts bring me to a point of frustration once again. We seemed to have had a good game plan going in. Surprise them with a zone, but it didn't work, so we swiftly came back to a man-to-man and crawled back into the game. Defensive effort was good, but when MJ came off him to provide help defense, we got burned on the back end. Our offense was bad, but it wasn't due to the concept, it was with finishing off the plays. We (once again) were not getting calls when Tai or Glynn were "brushed up" around the basket, or when MJ attempted to put back shots. Everyone seemed to be short on their shots, and we missed too many open looks. And lastly, once again our free throw shooting was spotty, at best. Do we miss Ed? Absolutely. But for us to move from a middle of the road team, to a top level team, we need to step up.

The fact that Mr. Horne rode the bench all night...perhaps he will exit, stage left. I would really hate if that were to happen.

I am at a loss...we simply did not play very well tonight. Missing a contested shot is understandable, but missing numerous open looks and free throws...not acceptable.

A 20 point loss. Oh my.

This just sucks.

My god, we can't hit anything.

I believe the number is 7...but I may be wrong.

Wide open look...clank.

Tai finally gets to the free throw line

Welp, I thought we would win this one. But then again, I thought we would shoot better than what we are.

Ugly, ugly, UGLY.

Bull crap. How???????

We have to start making all of our free throws. 1 for 2 simply doesn't cut the mustard.

Ughh...missed bunny...then a foul

Agree. I said this earlier to some friends, we play just good enough to lose by one. We can't seem to get over that hump. We fear putting the game away.

me too.

When we have a clear shot, we have to shoot and knock the shot down.

We creep to one or two points, and then we have one or two boneheaded plays and we fall back. Man, I grow tired of seeing us failing to do the little things when it counts.

We may be down by four prior to the beginning of the second half. The refs still have to look at Tai's shot that was originally ruled a 3.

No foul...are you kidding me???

Nice shot Jack!!!
