Red makes the first mistake neither Eddie or Naheem should be in the game Taylor should have been in for that final possession and Davis should have been playing the center position.  Eddie is probably your worst defensive player why is he even in the game to begin with??  McLoud your slowest player why would he even be in the game trying to chase people around the 3 point line??  Coach needs to put players in a position to succeed.

I agree Eddie should never have been in the paint here no reason.  Why wasn't that stressed?  It was a double timeout?  If it was stressed why isn't Red's voice heard?  This is do-or-die time?  Game on the line?  If you can get your players to follow your orders now that is big red flag as well.

Why is JJ going under the screen? Is that the plan?  That is the way we deal with every screen so I assume that is what JJs first reaction is to do?  In no circumstance should we be going under screens in this situation your job is to foul him or run him off the 3-point line and you can only do that by going over the screen.  JJs route after the pass in bounds is terrible he doesn't follow his man he runs straight down and into the screen?  That is terrible coaching on what your player should do.  The team is coached to go under screens which is a terrible strategy in today's games.  There is another example in overtime when JC goes under a screen and gives up a wide-open 3.  Why are we still doing this it is a terrible strategy and has killed us all season with no adjustment.  Again if Red is telling them what to do and they are doing something different then that is a worse look than what is actually happening on the court.
