That was absolutely pathetic.

Sure there was.
1)We have ZERO low post offense, not even one threat. To have success in the playoffs we will need some kind of inside out game and unfortunately we have no one that poses a threat to most good teams.
2)Artest and the rest played good defense when it counted. Artest played really good D on Josh and Dirk.
*Without what JHo and Dirk brought, we would have been blownout completely.
Dirk led the way late in the game again with HORRIBLE jumpshots most were fadeaways and Jho soon followed.
The defense was sub-par, especially when it mattered most(again).
The offense looked good for most of the game until it got tight. Our big3 played well but there are too many J's still and when they aren't falling we just have nothing inside. Bass is too small and as good as he can be it's not enough. Damp-Diop are laughable(offensively). Dirk is currently the only hope but it's just not his game. We need some help, I hope a move is made
to correct this. If not forget it.
I still dig our team...We just played a tough team that had a warm-up game last night and has a 7'5'' center that can shoot to go along with a niice low post game. They are a solid team for sure, we'll see what we are.
