This!!!!!   We had a nice lead in the 1st half and did not capitalize on that lead.  We played nice defense but could not score and settled for Jayir Davis chucking up 3s.  He should not take another 3 this year IMHO.  In both cases in the 1st half he had nobody withing 8 feet.  Dribble in and  get closer to the basket for a shot or a pass if someone comes at you and potentially a rebound if you miss.  We are a team that scores in the paint.  Lets get to it.   Not one coach of a top 25 team subs when the going is good, put the other team down and then sub.  The pattern established is to please the players.  I'm certain players would be happier on a winning team.

Red is doing the NBA substitution pattern with this talent base.  Not certain why.  It worked last year cause we had talent on the 2nd team.   (bunch of malcontents LOL, but talented).   He is playing to his system b ut its not showing results.  We lack a 3rd scorer after JJ and Lampkin.  I thought we had 3 & 3/4 coming into the season with JJ, Bell, Lamplkin and Freeman but really we have 1.5 now with Freeman out.  We have become too one dimensional and without the ability to throw in the entry pass (accounted for about 10 Turnovers a game) both JJ and Lampkin can be focused on and grind out offence to a halt.
