@bierce change in the starting lineup. Thoughts? No profanity please. 

It was bound to happen.  We all knew Mark was going to move into the starting lineup, and Weaver didn't show very well in our last game. 

That said, I will note one potential issue with our great start tonight.  Zero assists.  Our offense has entirely been people creating their own shot. 

Until that pass around to get an open shot for Pope in the corner.  That is the sort of thing I want to see from this team. 

[Neil Leininger]

Great ball movement for the corner 3. Kaluma needs to know when to give the ball up like he did for the open 3.

2-2 for Pope so far.

Back to back assists on open 3's.

And Mark with the good d being rewarded with the dish from Pope.

things like that make me think this team can be great if it plays as one.

[Jordan91]

Getting careless with the ball.

Then Kaluma driving into the teeth of the d without a plan makes me think there is still a lot of work to do.

[Neil Leininger]

Kaluma needs to sit now. He's killed the offense flow with 3 bad drives, 2 missed difficult layups and a live ball TO leading to a foul on Johnson.

That was literally the best play so far. When the shots are not falling you have to run an offense.

Yeah, this is where no Kent kills us. Kaluma trying to do too much on offense right now.

Make a note. Mark starts and Kaluma struggles. It’s the first game, but I want to watch that going forward.

It’s where not getting another big kills us.

We just need one thing for this team to be great.  We need Kaluma, Mark, and Johnson to understand they will be ever so much greater helping each other than trying to outdo each other. 

Mark's turn to jack up a crappy shot.

[Neil Leininger]

4 guards and Onyema after the TO.

[bierce]

Mark gets the steal and goes one on two instead of using his teammates to get a bucket or bring it out to set up the offense.  Good start, bad finish to the play.

[bierce]

WEAVER!

[Jordan91]

Man cheap foul on Weaver. 

[Neil Leininger]

This lineup is disgustly bad. Let's never try this one again, Terry.

They had to punish him for the great offensive rebound and putback.

Is the lineup disgustingly bad or has Kaluma just taken a couple of disgustingly bad shots?

Both.

Seems so simple.

[Neil Leininger]

That was great offense.

[bierce]

Tons of movement away from the ball on that possession that led to the Shedrick layup.  Nice to see.

[MarkInAustin]

The inside pass to Kaden.  Yes.

[bierce]

Weaver, make your ft
