I like effort, oboarding, and finishing at the rim; all things this team does well most of the time. However, hitting shots and handling the ball are nice too and today we did neither of those well. 6 guys with at least 2 turnovers with TOs on a quarter of our possessions against a bad team is not a good sign. Also, the high number of TOs, with many of them unforced, led to a lot of the issues that last year's team had. Hopefully this is not the norm as up to this point this team had been very good at not turning it over with only 1 other game at 20% or worse for TO%. Three point shooting is the next problem, but I'm not sure if it will be fixed much this year.
Oboarding was still good for 2/3 of the game and that's without DJamer. Subpar offensive games from Westicles, Stokes, and Brown didn't help much, fortunately Wade, Edwards, and Hurt gave us enough to get an ugly win.
