You nailed it Pru, again! Seems when TSJ was out we had ball movement, (Ty mostly bringing it up with a partner in the backcourt to help) now as you said, Marcus brings it up and dribbles for 10-15 seconds with no ball movement. Why the change and how does staff not see the stagnation. Can't be what staff wants, but they orchestrated it. The last 3 minutes yesterday was disgusting. Haven't seen such bad play/coaching since... well, last year. Let's hope we never see it again this year..or ever for that matter. [/QUOTE]
