Cross shoots way too much.
You've watched one half and come to that conclusion? My you're perceptive. I want all of these guys IF they have 2 arms to shoot an open 3 if they get it. If they can't make one, they shouldn't be standing out there in the first place.

Yikes. We've got to hit our open shots. Fred was right we shut down when things dont go well. Hopefully they come out fast in the 2nd half.

huh? We were going for the rebound and a taller guy went in and got a lucky tip in over top of us. I'm not sure how that was "quitting".

You mean the guy at the 3pt line who hustled in for the rebound and tipped it in? Oh yeah we checked out the big man under the hoop but no one else.

Guys crashing the boards from outside are usually tough to box out. Especially when you were in scramble mode on a 3 pointer. It happens. Very lucky tip in.

Defense played well early with the offense as well.. then the wheels fell off.. gotta find a go to guy to keep us from going on long scoring droughrs.. our defense leads to fast breaks and either layups and or transition 3s... we missed alot of freethrows as well.. hopefully first game jitters with all the shots coming up short. I do like how the d has played and so far good rebounding

Just the first half of the first game.

One thing I like is the style of play.

Need to finish at the rim & things will get better. The team is still learning each other, even with the foreign trip.

Really hope the waiver comes through on Stevenson.

Defensive intensity is much better this half but they are shooting lights out still. Got to make a run now.

No discipline, horrific free throw shooting, no big man, opponents shooting lights out, nu can't shoot on their home court....all we need is a halftime tweet from Fred and we have Tim miles 2.0.

1 for 10 so far.
