Defense was excellent last night

Not after the mid-way point of the 3rd quarter. At that point we just gave up

No. Augustin-Fournier-iwundu-Gordon-vucevic all had a defensive rating below 86 in the fourth quarter. The grant-Simmons-Ross-Martin-Bamba lineup played poor defense (fouled a ton) but I don't think it's fair to say the whole team gave up.

We gave up 60 points in the second half, including, starting about mid 3rd quarter, many uncontested layups.  We gave up 29 in the 4th quarter.  We can parse the statistics to try and find something good out of that but I think it’s missing the forest for the trees.

We’re the same team. We have Mo and JI who have some developing to do, but all in all, we are the same team. Maybe Clifford helps in changing the culture at some point, but right now, we are who we’ve been. There’s been no real personnel changes and to expect players to just all of sudden be any different is unrealistic.

Yeah, and the frustrating part about that is last year was everybody’s “tryout season”. Apparently, the only one management found unacceptable was Elfrid
