The season is almost over. No need to continously criticize Shumpert, Watson, Robinson, #3, Powell and the rest of the team. Ain't nothing gone change.
Just pray and hope that the tag team of Martin and Hilton can finally hire a real coach to restore our basketball program.
Come on M&H we waiting!!

Translation: "I personally have no idea how to design a real offensive set so I decided to just have my best player figure something out at the end." You can take a time out to communicate that …Watson loves that step back 3 absolutely wrong time for it down 1 with 13.5 seconds. You don’t really need a offensive play just run a 4 out or 3 out have Watson drive. After that monster dunk high probability some one rotates to double Watson when he comes down the lane ….easy pass to Duncan whomever open. If the double never comes take all the way to the rack . In addition I am not really feeling his comments on Powell and Robinson . Would been nice to have both yes ….. Bottom line. This team can win they just have to learn who to play as a cohesive unit and sustain that play for an entire game .

It was either start Robinson or Powell, but not both unless you went small ball with Johnson out of the starting lineup. I'm not feeling Robinson being on the floor period unless he is coming in as a sub . In saying that we have played better without him the when in was in the line up in my opinion.

Watson would have been ok driving to the basket. That’s why you call a time out and initially put the ball in someone else hands. Watson should be on the floor but not in a position to pound the rock for 11 seconds. I am fine with Watson taking game winning shot but not without anyone else touching the ball i'm late chiming in for this game cuz i had a game that night and didn't wanna know the end result without watching the full game first. nonetheless, watson's last shot was the most "idiotic" last second play (considering we were only 1 point down) that i've ever seen. omg. first of all, we didn't "need" a 3 point shot, we were only down by "1 point". second of all, everybody and their mother knows that delaware's coach instructed his team "not to foul" for obvious reasons during the final play. third of all, the "lane" was WIDE OPEN for a drive to the basket against a team that clearly was instructed "not to foul"! so why take a 3 from beyond nba range? idiotic!! why do you think delaware left watson completely open? now, if watson had made that shot, we'd all be happy. but that still doesn't make that last shot from 3 a "smart play". instead, you drive to the hoop for a much better "high percentage" shot that the defense will be very careful not to foul you. if they cut you off by sagging into the lane, then guess what? that leaves your teammates "open" for a short jump shot rather than a long range nba 3. wow, i couldn't believe my eyes when i saw watson pull up for that long range 3 even though we were only down by "1 point". the smart thing to do would've been to attack the basket...
