A few thoughts after last night's loss has finally sunk in. This team was..
* fun to watch but just seemed not to have the intangibles required to win close games
* Neo's style of offense seemed to be polar opposite to the offense of Coach's choice. Neo liked to probe the defense with his back to the basket and took way to many fall away shots. Seemed to seldom attack the basket or shoot pull up jumpers. The offense stood around when he had the ball and as coach said the ball got stuck. Once film was out on Neo, I think defenses had his number. Hedge the screens and collapse on him once he turned his back.
*Our defense was admirable on three point shooters at times but seldom could defend the big man rolling to the basket
*Tobi was really fun to watch but was far from a polished BB player. Made tons of mental mistakes, left his feet early on close outs and had no business shooting as many 3's as he did.
* Hammonds was the star if there was one but yet he left several games on the table with mental mistakes in late game situations, possible trying to do too much
* Others members were too inconsistent from one night to the next. Shoot the eyes out one night and go 0 - ever the next
* I always heard the difference between good and great players is great ones can produce night after night and in clutch situations If that is true, this team didn't have any great players.
*Finally I really like the Coach but it seemed like it took him most of the season to install a decent out of bounds play for the end of the game
*Don't pretend to know the answer or how to solve our basketball woes; only know this year was frustrating for one and all.
