Methinks you've gone a bit overboard for lack of perspective. It was the fifth game of the season for what's basically a brand new team trying to fit five new pieces into the system. No player in that situation is going to be comfortable - with good reason and likely for sometime going forward. That's the deal when the roster turns over as ours has. The coaches are still looking to see what works, what doesn't and assess our weaknesses and strengths. Every player is either brand new to our system, being asked to do more than last year or in some cases playing positions relatively foreign to them (e.g. TB at guard).

FH: new to having the ball in his hands so much
JG: new
AW: new
DC2: asked to do more, play more
PC: work in progress, missed a year
TL: asked to do more
TR: maybe just had a bad game
TB: new
TT: new

As JB has repeated said, it's going to take some time. If a game like this happens halfway through the season, then maybe the criticisms will be warranted. But c'mon man, it's one game in December against a very good team. Play them again in March, the results might just as easily be quite different.
