My only thoughts, just posted on other board...
Win as a team, lose as a team. After another sickening ride home and a little time to process, I guess that's my takeaway.
The need to find singular blame, I don't get...
- Blame Mitchell for a momentary lapse and moving toward the basket following the miss? OK, so does Jameel get a pass for not controlling the rebound, and if he couldn't control it, then doing the absolute worst thing by hitting a canon shot back to the 3 point line?
- Blame the 3 starters who combined for zero points?
- Blame the bench for their 7 points?
- Blame Tre for a killer turnover and missed free throws? But what about the big 3's he made?
- Blame Jameel for the tap, the missed finish on the layup, the missed free throws? But he was a monster the whole game and the biggest reason we were even in it at the end.
I'm old, and I've played, coached, and watched what seems like thousands of games...and this one was truly confounding and unique. I don't know if there's a right or good answer. All I know is that the old adage should rule...
Win as a team, lose as a team.
