Bad loss but I think we need to keep in perspective that this is overachieving big time considering the personnel so it's a minor miracle that they're in this position in the first place.

That Trey shot was pretty sick and the lob call was pretty bad, but they lost this game long before that on the defensive end.

The non-Ausar minutes were rough on defense. He was the only one slowing Trey down at all and JB should have had him on the court at all times when Trey was out there.

Also, I get you want to build confidence in your guys but when it's a tie game and you need a stop, put Holland and Stew in the game so you can confidently switch everything if you need to.

That was pretty odd.  

I don't like switching there.  Young forces the switch at about the 15 second mark.  Why not fight over the screen?  Young doesn't want to shoot with 15 seconds on the clock, so you have plenty of time to fight over it.

Completely agree on Holland and Stew.  If I'm switching those two plus Reed are going to be out there with Ausar.

Exactly. I'm not switching automatically, but sometimes you have no choice and I'd rather be prepared for it with better defenders at multiple positions.
