biggest problem with the bigs (other than poor mtm defense were as follows:

Lampkin:  would have been the 7/8 from the floor, if he just brought down rebounds and put them back.  Rather than control the ball and put it back,  he missed two tip ins right at the rim that were easy finishes, especially against a small team.   A veteran should be automatic on that play.  
also slow and help defense, of course.

Freeman:  plays too high and flat footed on D, but his major flaw was rotational help defense.  He picked up zero fouls and was nowhere near a contested play at the rim.  If he wants to be a one and done, his defense has to improve dramatically. Still not sure if it’s effort or ability.

Davis: missed a couple crucial closeouts, (where he was not screened), one in crunch time where he did not defend a three.

Petar:  looked a little nervous out there. It was forcing a few things.

The good news is, if we do not have someone doing their job on this team, they will sit.   The should encourage people to play just a little bit harder.
