[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1503648, member: 3916"] Dakich is a Loosier to the bone....Played and coached there....therefore he is dead to me.....I felt the same about last nites game as I did during the football game Saturday..no fire , no want, no effort.....burning 4 timeouts in the first half didn't work out for the last 15.4 seconds did it ? The last play of the game should have been getting the ball to Kofi down low with about 7-8 seconds left and crashing the boards for a rebound if necessary..what we saw was Ayo trying to force his way thru a double team to the basket with little chance of success.. Miami was unconscious in the first half..draining shot after shot...we changed to a zone and that stopped the flood for a while, but face it, we are not a good man defense...having our rim protector's AWAY from the rim is counter productive to a sound D....many times last nite and in a lot of games previously we have left the paint open to drives by opponents resulting in bunnies and 1's.. I have no answers for how to fix our poor starts to a game or second havles, but we need to solve these problems now or it's going to be another selection Sunday that we get passed on...I'm tired of waiting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
