Wall might be the best blocking pg i have ever seen

Face up blocks too.  Not just the weak side help blocks.  He takes the contact and swats that weak **** anyway.  It's like he doesn't know he's a guard and that guards don't do things like that.

We were only bad in turnovers.  The defense wasn't actually bad tonight.  Detroit just got 5 million runouts on unforced turnovers.

 

The fourth quarter shooting was heinous but we took good shots.  Just bricked all of them.  It happens.

 

This is the second game in a row where our passing was bad.  Actually like the seventh if you count preseason.  It's an issue.  Guys are throwing it away because they're out of rhythm and don't know where their teammates are going.

They're also forcing pass penetration and Detroit had those lanes covered.

The big positive tonight was that they got Otto the ball and kept going to him, but that ended in the 2nd half.  That's been happening since last year.  This core needs to work out how to share the ball with the new big contract.  It's going to take a while to figure out.

 

Beal and Wall clearly bumped heads before becoming the duo they are now.  I doubt Otto is going to be fighting dudes in practice, so let's hope coach can guide them along the process.  Otto needs to stay aggressive, but the other two need to trust him even when his shot isn't falling early.
