Pope blaming players tonight

[Eagles_Ball_69]

I get that...but Oweh, DA and Chandler sat a total of 14 minutes combined. Less than 5 min each on average. There is only so much you can do to hide guys

DA, Oweh, Chandler, and MM...three of those four have to be on the court at all times. When one of them is off, Mo probably needs to be on. Follow that rule and you don't end up with REALLY bad lineup combos. There's no need to have JJ, Noah, Jelly, and BG on the court at the same time, or to ever have three of them out there together. That's what caused the issue last night.

I wish that I could disagree with you but I can't. We had 3 guys carry the team last night. That will never get it done.

I honestly think that it can. You just have to be willing to let 3 of 4 guys cook and sprinkle the subs around them. Can't have 3-5 of the "second unit" out there together.

I think Noah is in WAY over his head at this level, but if you put him out there with DA, CC, OO, and MM he would be fine for a short 3 min stretch. Put him out there with JJ and BG and that group gets torched by meh level teams.

The post is our achilles heel and has been all season. Mo struggles to score. Garrison just struggles. MM is just inconsistent and wilts under pressure. I knew we were in trouble extremely early on when their big guy caused MM to turn the ball over. I kept thinking that I wish we had Cyril here now. He had his way in the paint.

Somto would have been on the bench in foul trouble early before eventually fouling out if we had him. Did you notice his full arm extension shoves on screens? My biggest problem with Pope is not working the crooked referees harder.
