I understand that KG and PP shoot well (BB shot 50%, too, should we have given him the ball more?) -- but they unnecessarily carry the team. It seems like Doc goes into panic mode and stops trusting everyone else.
It doesn't matter how many times KG and PP brick, as soon as JET or Lee hit some bricks, they get pulled or he never goes to them again.
This unit THRIVES off team play. And I think this is my point. When we are not playing as a team, we lose. Now when PP has a 40 pt night, it's hard to lose there. But when PP is the leading scorer with 21 and the 2nd guy has 19 and the third has 15 -- that's balanced...so I don't really care about the win loss rate because I can count at least 4 or 5 times the aforementioned has happened.
KG and PP are our leading scorers and that's fine. what I'm saying is I can't stand the DEFERMENT...the 'oh ok, well we're down 6, instead of doing the things that make us win, let me just pass it Paul and let him do something' or 'let me just pass it KG in the post and hope he can knock a youngin around for a couple seconds to get a contested layup'.
When Kg and PP are hot, that's different. KG wasn't hot until the 4th. PP tried to create but the players kept giving it to him to do something.
Do you all realize I'm not arguing against KG/PP but against the other players and maybe Doc?
