It’s the same rotation and movement over and over. Easy to catch on for the defensive team.

And once our shooting and offensive tempo is off, games over.

It's the weave then hero ball every time.. when shots are falling it's fine but it leads to a lot of difficult looks.. our offense never looks smooth.. also doesn't help they are making a ton of contested 3's

If Noah & Rich Kelly don't step it up, we're in trouble.

The defense just needs to continuously make switches on the players weaving through and they’re set.. aka you can stop our offense without moving much, we’re doing all the moving, and we’re not going anywhere. Very inefficient.

We need to use more of the clock and move it around 6 passes not two and a heave. We are shooting 30% vs, Yale's 55%.

In other words, another wonderful coaching job by McCall

Welp that was a discouraging half. Looked like a pretty limited team on both ends of the floor. Effort feels like it’s been ok but the team is just meh. The offense is disjointed and tough to watch. Hard when your two best offensive players are small guards — they have to work so hard. And the defense doesn’t make anyone uncomfortable.

Plenty of time still, but shit we just feel overmatched against a team that is decent at both ends. Not great but decent. It’s discouraging. I’m tired of being tired.

Classic Matthew Wayne McCall road game.

Also the amount of 15 footers and step backs this team takes is nuts. Is Vance Wahlberg on the bench? CUse this looks like the dribble drive all over

This is disgusting. Hate to think that this is what we have to look forward for the season.

This team does not look good or even interesting to me.

So glad I turned this off to catch the end of this incredible finish in the Celtics - Bucks game.

Bamford is so lucky that he got an extension and has a second chance. He realized that he fucked up with Walt Bell and can save himself with a new hire, he’s going to realize real soon he will have to follow suit with McCall as well. History repeats itself.
