No game thread??

Here’s a start: what the hell is this rotation going on?

Shaver surprisingly the first man off the bench, immediately gets scored on twice and turns the ball over by fumbling an easy pass. Up 4 to down 3.

We look discombobulated. Hopefully we turn it around. Will likely be another single digit nail biter.

Every turnover unforced. Poor decision making. Low IQ.

If AK can’t see that JD is outmatched, from a hustle and quickness standpoint vs Sissoko… we’ll just keep turning it over when throwing it in.

AK got too cute bringing in shaver so early. Don’t know WTF that was. He’s looked pretty good lately; but he is NOT your 6th man in a super important super close conference game. He is a 2-3 minute depth piece if you get in foul trouble.

Ugh this is ugly.

Vasquez has been god awful recently:

At least sissoko is on the bench. Perfect time to force it inside

Not shooting well today but thankfully they are playing pretty sloppy also.

I dunno if I’ve ever seen a player shoot more airballs or get blocked more in the post than Vasquez. He is in a terrible slump

Yax has been dominating. The only time we slumped is when AK inexplicably took him out and put in Shaved.

Incredible defensive effort

Excellent defensive effort and much better shot selection the last several possessions. Yax with an and-1 off an offensive rebound and then a big three

Starting to wake up. Yax asserting his dominance today.

One thing I've noticed that even during this good game streak, we have dumb passing to start the game off that leads to turnovers. We try so hard to get it to JD in the lane even when he has 2-3 people around him

YAX IS DOMINATING

I'm really hoping we keep up this scoring pace. We owe these guys a blow out in our favor.

And then we inexplicably sub out our best player who was playing well for a guy that should be at the end of the bench. That was a major head scratcher.

Attack the paint until they’re forced to play Sissoko. Their defense depends on him inside

yes this has been quite the head scratcher every game is the sub patterns
