With all the bad stuff tonight..

Paul finishes his fast break and we are down 1, 3 minutes to go and probably win the game.

Fine line between winning and losing.

That play was painful

 

[Loyal_2RU]

Yes that was the moment I actually thought we might lose.

 

[bac2therac]

yup and sometimes these go our way and sometimes they do not. Still we had opportuntities after that...missed one and one down 5 and then missed rebound down 5

It is hard to be consistent in this game, especially when teams throw different tactics at you. Only the true great players are. Last game, Paul carried the team to a win at MSG with 17 second half points. Tonight he was ineffective and took only 4 shots. But, I agree with those who said that Caleb was the bigger problem tonight. Caleb is a 20% three point shooter (Paul is 41% by comparison). Caleb cannot be hoisting up 3’s and taking highly contested 2s. His 1-12 shooting was a killer tonight.

Caleb's only pts were in the first 3 minutes. Ughh

 

[Salvi's Headband]

or if Caleb hits the wide open 3 to tie it

The ball was stopping in Caleb’s hands.

Some blame has to be shared by Pike.there was very little dribble drive to basket and RU didn't get to the line hardly at all because of it.
Also it's on Pike to maybe not have McConnell continue shooting the ball down the stretch? He was beyond bad , yet was allowed to shot 25 foot shots with game on the line?

And the ridiculous foul on Cliff when Galloway stepped in his way!! Even Bardo was adamant that that was a defensive foul all the way those two plays were both 4 point swings

Paul passed up and often does many open shots if he would just catch and shoot!!! Like many have said I would rather him shooting than Caleb; the other problem is when he hesitates if he does eventually shoot it is a much harder shot than if he just took the open shot he had immediately
