A Loss is a Loss

We didn’t get to the free throw line enough.We didn’t rebound well.

We were thin as players went down with injury.

Some players are working hard to get their timing back and just aren’t hitting their shots.

We couldn’t overcome an odd call or two.

Frankly we aren’t good enough or deep enough yet to overcome the little things. Hence a loss last night.

While frustrating, we are in these games. When we lose now, it is because of little things. We are competitive. We need to learn to punch above our weight class and rebound better. Statistically that is the great differential for us now between success and failure. And if our big men go hard to the rim, they will go to the foul line. Life will be easier.

Live and learn. Growing pains.

These are games in the future that we will get a win – at least that is the plan.

Onward. Back to back in Chicago.

The Wall Street Journal Does the Dougie

OK – it is mainstream now which means it isn’t hip so it shall dissipate. It has officially “jumped the shark.” We drew less than 15,000 last night as well.

We have a long way to go to sell out a game. Will we sell one out before the Dougie goes stale?
