Well...each time they cut it to like 15-16 in the 2nd half--they immediately came down and took 3-4 STUPID shots....instead of taking it to the rim....too many guys playing hero ball--and not nearly enough passing.
good point. and i have seen this in other games as well. not each and every game, but often.
for me, this gets back to the lack of consistency in this team. some games they play well as a team. some games not. some quarters they play well as a team. some quarters not. some possessions they play well as a team. some possessions not. you never know what you are going to get from this team.
is the source of the inconsistency youth? lack of a "team" that has played together for a while? a new coach? new systems? players joining and leaving the team? uneven talent of the players? mismatched talents?
probably all of the above. i dont envy CBS for trying to create consistency out of all the above.
