"Point Book" just doesn't cut it.
Not his best game…but he’s generally taken very good care of the ball this year

Royce is so bad. He came back from injury but his game is still out.

Some of the turnover this team makes are just brutal. How many have lead to layups on the other end tonight?

I can’t work out if we are a smart dumb team, a dumb smart team or just a plain ole dumb team.

These live ball turnovers are just ridiculous. Booker and Grayson the main culprits tonight

I believe in Royce still. Multiple players have gone thru bad stretches this season, Book and Grayson notably. He’ll get it back. Eventually…

My thoughts:

I think we lost for two reasons:

1. We didn’t bury them when they were missing shots early and playing lackadaisical defense

2. They stepped up the defense and we responded by turning it over


I think the turnovers turned it into a blowout, but not why we lost.

Also didn’t love that they let us play physical early and basically called everything half 2.

Also of course we went on a big run as I typed this up.

I would amend my statement to the turnovers made it so this comeback attempt fell short

Smoking layups. A million turnovers. This team just loves jobbing to the Wolves. No pride.

Horrible loss at home to the Wolves without Reid and DiVincenzo.
