I didn't watch this game as I saw online how bad it was going. But, this really points out two concerns that we have hit on many times and should not be thrown out with this game. Two guys, Ayton and Booker are going to be long term problems in precisely the areas we are trying to shore up!
Booker is really good and hurts teams quite often but he seems to light it up every time against us because of lack of one on one defenders on the wings. That remains a big problem, especially in the fourth quarter (a third problem we are improving but still have).
Ayton is another of a growing group of guys who can bully ball us. Any strong big with skills can and often does hurt us bad. Maybe Cauley-Stein can help. Maybe the trade deadline will bring help. Maybe this game is used in film sessions by our individual current guys to learn how they can slow them down better.
Get ready for Houston!
