Two of them fouled out and if MCW his a FT we win. For those suggesting we should not have played stall ball you are wrong. We were playing 4 1/2 on 5. We needed the clock to run out, it was our only shot of winning. Cooney and DC2 are not ready. DC2 cannot defend the rim. Our zone cannot defend the 3pt line if the center cannot defend the rim so he can't play. We were winning with our defense and we lost 2 of our better defenders, Cooney is not a better defender than the guys he is coming in for. Neither DC2 nor Cooney are bringing anything on the offensive end. DC2 can't finish, and Cooney is struggling. If and when we get James back we are a FF4 team because he brings what this team is missing. Think about how many of MCW's drives would have lead to a kick out to James for 3? When was the last time we an easy 3 in transition? Image how much easier the game would have been if Nova had to bring a big guy out to guard James? We will be in every game with our defense, but without James we will struggle to score the ball.
