[QUOTE="dbeverly26, post: 1498765, member: 515868"] I think that we played a lot better down the stretch. Early in the game the timing wasn't there on the offensive end. They had quite a few plays where it looked like they just didn't let things develop, like trying to hit a moving Kofi or Giorgi with bounce passes 12 feet from the basket. They could have waited one more step to make those plays easy, but instead they ended up as turnovers. For the last 15 minutes of the game or so they got the timing right and it looked easy. They basically turned the ball over once between the first TV timeout of the second half and garbage time, which is an exceptional stretch. What I think they'll need to learn to do if they're going to succeed is to get their timing straight without slowing down. You're wasting a guy like Ayo if you don't let him play downhill. Playing fast and clean is not easy to do, but I expect that they will get better at it as the season goes on. (And if they don't, they're going to be in trouble.) [/QUOTE]
