This happened a lot. It's a disgrace, and you blame the coach.



watch the last clip of that link. martin gets a pass at the top of the key with 22 seconds left. he keeps the ball in his hands for 1 second and sends it right to Qman. He didnt want the ball or the last shot. He doesnt have the killer instinct. He's not cold blooded like Kobe, or hell, like Daryl Mitchell.

So I'm not calling a TO to draw a play up for a guy who doesnt want it.

Martin could have/should have called for the ball, aske for a clearout, and dribbled to 10 on the clock and then make a move.

He doesnt want it. The coach knows it. so no, you dont blame the coach exclusively.

Both of our tall players are outside the 3 point line most of the time, it's retarded.

I saw that, too. But you are assuming a whole lot. Maybe they were running the shot clock down with some play in mind. No, probably.

I'm talking about the totality of the collapse over several minutes. When all else fails, start running the offense through your best talent. At least a couple of times in a row to try and stop the bleeding. If he doesn't want it (super highly doubtful), he shouldn't be looking to go early to the NBA.
