Many disagreed with me prior to the season, but I still say that the loss of Deng Gai was huge.

His ability to block shots allowed our guards to pressure outside and take some risks. Now if we sag to guard the post, we get killed outside. If we try to defend the 3 point line, we get killed inside. Deng was able to erase defensive mistakes made by others.

The Eraser is gone and it shows.

Stags score 80 points, but only 8 points scored by frontcourt players (Middleton 4, Reedal 4, Carter 0).

Where are the adjustments by the coach? Many teams don't have a Deng Gai and look a lot better than we do. If our current players had the open looks that we are giving up, we would score 100 points. Our defensive approach and schemes suck. Let's all hustle and play like TOT played and everything will be allright. Same old shit for 8 years. I don't expect us, especially with our missing 3 key players, to win all of these games, but we look horrible. Who should we blame? The players? I think not.

20 losses seem possible. I mean, who is this team going to beat? As for the above prediction that the coach will be replaced, if that happens the athletic director probably has to be replaced also.
