Otherwise, OP has clearly never played a team sport and barely watched the game at all. It's fairly clear that the TEAM played badly and lost. Singling out a player in this disappointment is silly. |

The team lost this game. No fingers need be pointed. Tough game. Tough loss to handle. Everybody but Cam to blame. | Skylar came on late and gave them another chance, the team was just out of rhythm for the most part on offense. When Sklar hit that three from way out I did go speechless. |

| That said...they lose as a team but I'm still soooo proud of these guys. Nobody thought they'd be in this position to begin with. Getting your hopes up hurts, but let's hold this team up for what they did, and look forward to the future. Good job guys. We are proud of you. |

We lost because we have zero offensive capability/talent/skill/whatever you want to call it. We don't have a single player who can score on his own. Well, I guess McRae can on his night, but that's rare to begin with.
It just came down to this: NO ONE on our team can make plays offensively. NONE. Our D is fine... hopefully the boys work on scoring this offseason. That's been our weakness all year, and it bit us tonight. |

(Sarcasm) | Nailed it. This is about as intelligent as the OP. Only you're being ironic. The OP is being himself. |

| I think it is funny that it suddenly is a team loss/game to many folks, while 3 weeks ago it was only Golden's fault for every loss, and even his fault when they won, but only by single digits. Wow. Awful way to end an otherwise impressive year. Looking forward to what the future has in store for this team with Martin at the helm. |

| Hope McRae spends a lot of time in the gym this summer. He shot 1/16, or something along those lines the past two games and tends to really struggle against teams that have multiple forwards his size. He plays better against crap teams, which isn't the best sign towards his future progress. Also, he shoots fade aways, floaters and three's at bad times. His shots the past two games have been errant and his performance is a reason why we lost tonight, although our team defense and team shooting are the primary reasons.
His development thus far has been very disappointing, although Golden and Maymon both obviously showed signs of massive improvement this year. |

| He lost his confidence and was pulling the string on the shot because he started to aim, rather than shoot.
Basketball is a bigger head game than football and lack of confidence can mess a player up. |

| How bout we just learn to say "we lost", stop finding someone to blame, and get on with it? McRae had rough night, so what? Why do we have to pinpoint a scapegoat all the time? The team lost, and if you're gonna dog this team after the fight they've shown, then shame on you. Posted via VolNation Mobile |
