Coach obviously the the turnover lead the points um ISO ball there you feel like wasn’t going yeah well we didn’t start the third quarter uh with enough ATT tenness and um you obviously we gave up that 150 or 160 run you know so uh we had some lost possessions offensively and then

You know Luca got gone Luca against the fiveman is a is a difficult coverage you know and he he burned us three straight times on it and we had a transition three and a offensive rebound three you know that uh you know led to that run um

So we got to be better there and you know obviously uh we did get a little too stagnant uh offensively with with ISO Ball but we just we didn’t execute what we were looking to do well enough um we had some breakdowns of what we

Were supposed to do so um you know it got congested you know when we were trying to attack uh we didn’t space appropriately so uh led to some tough possessions but you know I’m happy with how uh how our guys battled but wasn’t good enough tonight you mentioned a

Couple things that you guys didn’t do when you mentioned spacing was that the main part of that not having the space to be able to take advantage of away you got yeah I mean there’s a lot of things but yes curious with obviously L the challenge of you mentioned OB with the

Five but at what point is it like you know you gr on opport thought putting Roy on him earlier in the well we’re switching a lot so I mean the primary Defender you know has little to do with it um you trying to take him out of their action

And um you know how much double team we wanted to do was was just was always going to something be something that we measured throughout the game and um you know wasn’t enough curious to some of the lineups I think at one point you had basically perimeter guys look like you

Were searching for something yeah well our small Ball’s been really good it’s won us a few games um you know when you’re looking at trying to slow down Luca and you want switchable Defenders out there uh it makes sense to do that but you know we didn’t like I said we didn’t play

Offensively well enough I think not having Brad in a game like that you know uh is is a big factor because he’s one of those guys in a small ball that can really touch the pain that will you know and um you know I didn’t think we get enough penetration offensively but um

You know like I said it’s been a you know our small balls been winning us some games but didn’t do it tonight is this a situation where next time that would be a guy you would put yeah maybe I we still got to learn you know

Where he fits in all this um you we’re talking about it on the bench but you know again we wanted more switchable guys and a guy that we’re going to put in coverage and then have been playing him off of the florid I don’t mean it like a

Negative way I just mean that when they went small obviously you had to make a decision what point were you looking May to go back to nage or did yeah well with Brad with Brad out you know I don’t know if uh you know were quite deep enough to go small as

Long as we did you know what I mean so we were trying to measure you know when to get uh nerk or another Center back in there uh versus playing the the smalls but you know the the switching uh lineup is what we were seeking and we’re hoping

To to generate more offensively you know we’ been we’ve been killing it with our small ball offense you know but we didn’t play the way we’ve been playing you know with with that lineup so um you know wasn’t good enough on that side of the ball I was happy with some of the

Things we did with our switching but not enough anything else thanks go yeah
