[QUOTE="SecretAgentBuzz, post: 975200, member: 253"] Well, with the way we have played so far this season, this result is not exactly unexpected, but certainly disappointing. We have seen some trends in these first three games...and they are not good. When both Kelly and Reeves went cold, things went downhill fast. Here is what I saw with my amateur eyes: What I liked: -Deebo coming in with instant offense. He was 5 of 9 from three point range! -Sacko's defense and rebounding. He plays with effort and energy. -Sturdivant didn't have his best game, but he still got 12 and 5 and we were +25 when he was on the floor. +25! -I liked the defense we played in stretches of the first half. There was a period of about 6 minutes in which they didn't score at all. -I liked our urgency at the end to catch back up and have the chance to win at the end. There was some good play in that stretch. What I didn't like: -Starting the game with the same lineup as the last two. I know CDS is hoping that the light will come on for some guys, but the slow starts are killing us. -Gapare and Abrams, in particular, are really playing poorly. Abrams had one stretch where he hit a three and made two FTs, but other than that...it was not good. Its too early to say that these guys are busts or anything like that, but they clearly are not playing well. Maybe they look really good in practice? Gapare was -17 on the floor and Abrams was -28! -Outside of Deebo, the team was 1/21 from three point. Yes, you read that right. Against UMass-Lowell AT HOME, our team (beside Deebo) went 1 for 21.
