They seem to be playing for themselves. They are not playing like a team trying to win a championship. They remind me of last year‘s football team. No leader ship no cohesion. A bunch of individuals trying to get to the NBA

I watch as many games as I can. I disagree with you. Oh yes at the beginning of the game they run plays but then its one on one. Do you really watch the games?????

1) Lack of discipline and fundamentals and the lack of enforcement from WW on these.
2) Lack of effort on defense, loose balls and virtually no blocking out
3) selfishness on offense, they played 3 games in a row recently where they weren’t selfish and were damn good
4) no situational awareness, low basketball IQ at times
5) not executing plays/fundamentals properly because of laziness and being allowed to get away with it

It's a tie between Watford crazy drives to the basket and bad turnovers, and Cam jacking 3's from all over the place with no one even set to rebound while he's shooting 30% from there.

Sloppy play....sometimes it feels like they are watching the game instead of playing in it

They run plays to target specific matchups. Its why they are top 10 in the country in offense. They are constantly running stagger screens for cam. Just because you dont like the plays or style of offense, doesnt mean they arent running plays.

I agree, early in their sets they go through the motions with poor execution of screens that aren’t effective which most times gets no one open then leads to a one on one situation.

With this team it’s lack of effort on defense and apparently no accountability from the head coach.

Trendon Watford for me. Been a huge disappointment in big games.

The fact that Dale Brown couldn't win a national championship with Chris Jackson, Shaq, Stanley Roberts, Vernel Singleton, and Wayne Sims on the team.

That we will end up just being good enough for a 8/9 seed game for an easy bounce out

Was at least hoping for a 7/10 seed to at least have a chance

Most of what I feel has been said. Namely the laziness and key players seeming to dissappear for long sometimes game long stretches.

One thing I'll add is it seems Wade is handling the players differently than he has in the past. Specifically Cam and Watford. Who remembers Wade sitting Tremont on the bench to get his shite together when he was having a bad night or was out of control? There's been stretches this year where its like... what more does Trendon have to do to see the bench for a bit? How many shots does Cam have to miss where we have no shot of getting the rebound bc he just jacks it up before he sits for a bit?

I don't like when the other team scores more points than us. That's what gets me upset.

I still think WW is the man, I want him as my coach and I want him here a long time.

But I do think he made a decision early to give his big 3 scorers a lot of rope offensively and at this point it's just too late to reign it back. And now there is no accountability for bad shot selection and that kind of upsets me.

They need to go back and look at how they played against State

Even Thomas was using his aggressiveness to make plays for others. Also Watford remembering how to not be terrible would provide a massive lift. He’s been off for several weeks now.

There was a game early in the year where Watford had 9 assists and should have had 10 had one not been a missed layup. He needs to watch that film.

My perception now is how he gets into a my turn attitude more as the year's gone on, in that if Smart and Thomas are getting theirs and he hasn't gotten his yet....he seems to be determined to get his flow or balance be damned.

I'd like to see WW start to hold, Smart and Thomas accountable to some extent when stuff like this happens, I realize you can't pitch a fit every bad shot but you can at some critical points in the game make it a point that the shot selection needs to be prioritized and valued or accountability will be enforced.
