close game-itis
Last year our problem was we had so many stars nobody knew who should shoot. They were never comfortable at the end. Jenkins was a great shooter - but how many game winners did he actually take? That team had weird chemistry.
This team, I think, is different. It is KJ's team and KJ willingly took the shot at the end and I was glad to see it. It just did not go down.
The good news is - I think Jeter would like to have that last shot... and Parker would not hesitate to shoot it either. This team will have some swag once they are better.
Last year's team played not to lose somehow. This team is trying to win - but just a little too young. I think they will be ok in time. I will say this - our guards got inside a ton tonight - for one reason. A big actually scored. An inside game will mean a lot to this team - because the guards are really good. Make the opponent worry about interior defense and the perimeter is a lot easier to navigate.
