Why didnt Cuffe get a sniff in the first half when JJ needed to take a couple of minutes to re-group ? Why is he getting zero minutes ? Is he hurt, has there been some off the court issues ? He is no savior, but a couple of times this year he did get us going when the team was having general malaise.
Our rebounding and interior D could hardly be worse.
I think our only plus rebounders are Brown and Cope. Cope does a lot of damage playing up high, but when we are getting slaughtered off the glass, he needs to be brought down low to help out Maliq. Maliq also plays up high quite a bit and even though he is quick enough to get back, he often isnt quick enough to get back and be in good rebounding position against any halfway decent big. Why didnt we see a lineup of Hima and Brown ? Then we have some interior presence while freeing up Maliq and Cope to stay up high.
Why does Taylor continue to get a single minute other than when somebody needs a blow ?
Judah continues to show why he will not get drafted. Opponents seem to be learning that if you dont foul him he wont do that much damage.
On the plus side -
Gotta give guys credit for at least making a game out of it after an atrocious first half.
JJ really came on in the second half as did Cope and Bell.
The team did a great job creating TOs.
A lineup I would like to see for a few minutes - Maliq, Hima, Cope, JJ, and Bell (or Judah if he is playing well). I like what Maliq and Cope do up high, but we gotta have somebody to help out in the middle when they roam.
