O did what we know they can do against comp like this. Even the part in the second quarter where they were not scoring, the looks they were getting were still good. Problems came when we were impatient and settled for a poor angle shot early in the shot clock instead of waiting for a better one.

I know the game thread is the game thread but some people get carried away with the criticism on that end. We changed up the EMO, but it is not always right to make a ton of tweaks to lineups or strategy after the first time the scoring slows down. They had faith the starters would turn it around and they did. They have been close as hell in these tough games. Even against tough comp, it is more issues with finishing and shooting than us getting to the end of the shot clock without a decent opportunity. They need to turn it on and make a statement next week.

D gave up a disappointing amount of goals. Their main man got a ton of points because they were doing everything in their power to get him matched up on a different defender when they could. Also set a bunch of picks for him all through his dodging. Some were in interesting areas to generate looks. Others were borderline moving picks with one I was shocked was not called. Didn’t see anything too bad from Figueras but sometimes I thought we were to casual about letting the matchup switch. There were 2-3 goals off of weird offball miscommunication which has fortunately not been a severe issue against tougher comp. Definitely some things to go over going into next week.
