I think we have to accept their limitations. They are nice players, but they play within a system. That system took a huge hit when we lost our best three point shooter who spaced the floor. It took another big hit when we lost our lob presence in the paint.
Absolutely those three are key if they shoot like they're doing today we have no chance
Man do they miss MN.
All of them stink on defense today. Getting exposed. Not saying Clayton doesn't have his issues but they all do. It just he doesn't make up in offense.

I thought you saw today how much they missed MN..just the little stuff...appropriate switches and helps on defense and really good screens and effective pick and rolls on offense...U have to give this team some credit for winning some of those games with two starters out and once three..I keep wondering with the relatively weak non-con that they didnt get bench players more development time. Mullins still looked kinda lost on defense . well they got some time to get some things worked out.
I don’t know if it was about their limitations as much as missing shots.
Well, Langborg, yes. He was just terrible all around, and he’s pretty limited athletically so if he doesn’t make shots there’s not a lot else. Brooks played fine defense and rebounded well and got open and then just missed a lot of shots he usually makes more of. Martinelli too, he got his looks and couldn’t close. Not a lot of other complaints about how they played, TBH.
