Amazing we were in it. Spencer and McLemore have to play better. Zero excuse for their performance tonight.

Not sure if Purifoy should have drawn a foul there, but that kid's drawn contact to drawn foul rate is ridiculously low

Mclemore is in a mental funk. He’s literally playing scared to draw a foul and still fouls out twice in a row.

The thing with Purifoy there is he looked out of control with the put back.

You can tell he’s frustrated. I think it’s a combo of him not completely trusting his body post injury and opponents game planning for him well.

Either way, he needs to pull it together because fouling out with 8 minutes left and 3 of those fouls being offensive fouls is exactly how you lose games

That might've been bacuse three guys jumped on him the second they realized he was going to shoot it.

If we are supposed to be good I would bet we finish last in the SEC.

Missing link, aside from Harper we don't really have anyone that can get in the land or get their own shot. When Bryce is hot he has that dribble quick trigger 3 but we don't have a really versatile scorer like Heron.

Doughty. 5 shots with 4 being threes. Heron replacement my arse. It’d be nice to have Murray too.

This has been one of the biggest disappointments. All we heard was his driving/slashing ability and he has decided to take on the role everyone else has which is a spot up shooter.

Barkley talked about how the Warriors are ruining the NBA because now everyone wants to shoot the three. I think we are seeing a similar issue.

It’s without a doubt our biggest issue. Wiley going down hurts for sure. This team started it’s decline long before that though. We are dead in the water if threes aren’t falling. Dead. We could withstand a bad shooting night last year because we got to the free throw line and hit them. That’s really the main difference in this team.

Charles can claim the Warriors ruined the NBA but if it wasn’t the Warriors it would’ve been someone else that finally grasped what statistics tell you about the game.
If shooting a high % of one shot ruins the game, then maybe the game was flawed from the beginning

His beef wasn’t with the fact that they are good at shooting the three. It was that other teams don’t have guys like Curry, Thompson, and Durant and can’t do it so you have guys who suck at shooting the three chucking up terrible shots because Steph can hit them.

Pace and space is the name of the game

Most teams in the nba play that way, that why the old school bigs are dead...

Develop a three and stretch the lane big fella so guards can work

You can not criticize Bruce. He gets a free pass on basically everything
