Message: [QUOTE="JDubbin, post: 4978293, member: 2453"] No other way to parse it, a brutal & deflating loss coming off of the best win/best played game of the entire season... It's one thing to get out rebounded, it's another to be absolutely brutalized & soul-crushed with possession after possession strung together by offensive rebounds. That was what GT did to the Orange tonight. Frustrating. Would have liked to see Red run something different on D when it was clear we couldn't rebound out of the zone with that personnel. I just can't with Taylor... I said tongue-in-cheek a month or two ago that there should be a Vegas prop bet on Taylor just horrendously airballing a 3 at least once a game. Unfortunately it's a reality, again tonight with that weird release/hitch that seemingly has no control on the ball when it leaves his hand. He muscled up ONE TIME & took it into the paint & got a bucket. Followed up with two or three more missed 3's from the perimeter. You're open for a reason, bro. I don't care about any coach speak on shooting "good" open shots, it's stunning how poor it looks. I was genuinely getting angry when he kept hoisting. When Bell is locked in & focused, he is a major piece of this team. When he's not... well, he's not not. You can tell almost right away by his body language how it's going to go. He was rushing his shot so much that he lost his form. That catch & shoot corner 3 without loading it up at all looked like a shot you'd take as a joke in a shoot around, I couldn't believe it was real. He almost blew the hinges off the side of the rim. It was essentially a turnover. Copeland is what he is... but has he forgotten he has a left hand? I've seen him finish with his left on occasion... but when he's driving left in the lane & under pressure, he's using his right hand no matter what & it gets ugly, like off the bottom of the backboard spinning english ugly. I could say lots more... but it'd just be venting. Bummed out by this one big time. [/QUOTE]
