Not enough. Need more production from the bench.

Hard to find shots when two players account for 2/3's of the shots while clearly playing too much hero ball instead of sharing.

Our depth, doesn't seem soo deep now.

Can't disagree. Too many pull up 3s too early in our offense. If there is no defender then fine but if you have someone guarding you....or if you're on a 1-on-4 break, make better choices.

Yeah, and it wasn't just the ones one might suspect.. I remember a great steal by PJ towards the end of the game and he forced a layup attempt leading to a rejection. He could have just controlled the ball, ran the offense, and looked for a good shot. The Seniors got rattled.

I thought he just plain missed the layup...

It's possible, I didn't see a replay, but I was watching on a pretty big TV, and though he got it blocked.. It was at least challenged, so if he missed it, it was probably because he was trying to alter his shot (unless we're talking different plays)

Don't fault the decision there. He was ahead of the defender with a clear path to the basket. Needs to finish though or draw a foul if he thinks he can't get it off. If I'm remembering correctly he rushed it and got it blocked by the rim.

That's the one to which I was referring

Taylor should have seen some time this game. Painter has the horses but doesn’t utilize it
I can guarantee you that dude on Tenn wouldn’t be backing him down all game like he did Vince

Instead of developing players early for a long season, we go with the same lineups. Taylor and Eastern should get more playing time. Take our knocks know to become a better team later . . . The Patriots philosophy. Vince and Haas can’t play defense . . . give Taylor and Eastern a chance.

I don't particularly think Haas played a bad game today. He missed some rebound opportunities, but other than that he only got 5 shots and hit 3 of them. No reason that he shouldn't have gotten 10 shot opportunities today...especially given they had stopped sending a double team when he passed out of the post a few times. Vince on the other hand...looked particularly bad today and played as if he was trying to impress instead of playing within himself. Gotta let the game come to your first instead of forcing it on to others.

That was my recollection too; perhaps he did miss from rushing to avoid a block. A shame because it was a nice theft at the time.
