I’ve been able to avoid this thread (Lovie’s parting gift to me) and have only read a few posts, so I’m sure all this has been discussed.
Defense = bad
Rebounding = really bad
FT shooting = come on you have to be kidding bad
My main takeaway from the game was that Ayo and Belo’s ball dominance really took the other players out of the offense except for Kofi. I did love how they were getting him involved, but seemed like for much of second half it was only Ayo, Belo or Kofi shooting. Some of that might be able to be blamed on other players not stepping up and making themselves more available, but just didn’t seem that way. So while it’s hard to fault Ayo or Belo’s overall performance, I think that ball dominance hurt some — especially last 3 minutes or so.
