I've got to vote for Luka and his 42 point triple double. Honorable mention to SD, CW...and yes, even our very own chucker...THJ.
But there's a fly in the pie. We win when Luka scores 30 or 40 points. When he doesn't...we don't. He has to have some reliable help--on offense at the very least. You need 4 or more players in double figures to consistently win games. A look at the box score shows FG of 2-7, 1-5, 2-5...twice, but even more concerning is 3PT of 2-6, 0-4, 1-5...twice, and 1-4. That's not good. Yes...even Luka is in that group. And just one reason I call Timmie a chucker...3-10...30%. I know...one more make and he would sit at 40%. But...he didn't make...one more.
Common sense dictates that if something isn't working (3PT), then do something else. Attack the basket, or pass the damn ball to someone who will--attack the basket.
Hmmmm...a ball handler would help. A shooter would help. By golly!...I do believe we have a few of those sitting in the wings ready for spot minutes at least. Now's the time to see what they got, or how they can work with the team. Not during the playoffs...
I've always believed a short, tight rotation is a sign of a poorly constructed team.
Just a heads up for those team owners who want a new general manager--I'm retired...and the local pee wee team needs me...
