It's so bad, unless we junk it up with a zone but you can only do that so often.

What a cut, catch, and finish by Clark. Good find by Naz.

Clark then causes the miss on the other end and the ball drops softly to Naz, who proceeds to just hit it out of bounds with his hand, not a Pelican around him! Sheesh!

Wtf is Randle doing out there on defense.

I know! I keep flip-flopping on which one of NAZ or Randle has to go!

The play by these guys and effort is appalling. These guys get paid millions of dollars to play basketball. If I came to work like this on a random day I would be fired.

I've never been a big "Young Player X needs a minimum amount of minutes per game in order to develop" guy, but I can see that logic with Dilly and TSJ to a degree. These little stints they play can't be easy to get into any sort of offensive rythym, especially since neither are the 1st or 2nd option while out there. Clark's role seems more adaptable to almost any amount of minutes given.

More evidence that Ant really doesn't know the rules of basketball... little concept of what a foul is at either end

We are taking shitty shots. Energy sucks. We don’t seem interested in winning this game.

Seriously put in Beringer and some of the guys that will give some effort. This is why I don't think Finch is the right coach. It's straight up disrespectful to play like this. No lessons either. Just let's them continue this garbage.
