Went to bed so I missed the game live...watching again that was probably the most disappointing loss of the season. The defeat to the Dubs was disapponting because it was a grudge game, but at least they looked like they were trying and just couldn't make shots. In this case they looked like they felt they were entitled to win and couldn't understand why they weren't winning. I've said before this team needs to learn to win ugly, when their shot is not falling, and it's clear they still don't know how to consistently do that.
You're not going to shoot 45% from 3 and blow teams away all the time. Especially once teams start working out counters to what we are doing. They have to work out ways to remain competitive and win when the shots aren't going in. Losing Al really has a big effect on the team, because that's the position we are weakest in. Blake and Kornet will have their moments but they don't have that level of consistency of performance in a key position.
And the complaining to the referees, to me that's the epitome of entitlement. Yes the refs suck. But you're not fans who can complain from their loungerooms, you're players who have to keep playing to the whistle. It felt like they started to adopt a "we wuz robbed" mentality during the game, well with that attitude, if you feel you're at war with the officials as well, you'll never win. Someone needs to talk to GWill, I'm starting to notice the biggest issues he has is with female refs - this time it was Ashley Moyer Gleitch. He doesn't want to get a rep as a player who disrespects women refs because every single one of them will be on the lookout for him.
Let's hope for a better bounceback performance, going back to the basis and doing them correctly, against the Fakers tonight.
