I agree with the comments here. First and foremost, awesome to go down to the wire with a top 10 team! And very encouraged by what we saw of Cohen and Andree – two real shooters, for sure! Also agree that BA looked better than we’ve seen before.
A few less ugly turnovers, a few more defensive boards, or a few less defensive lapses early and the outcome might have been different! I really, really liked the trapping press. Seemed to fluster X, and worked well. Nice to be on the good side of that for a change!
Observations – I don’t think X has any post presence, at all. They scored in the paint with big guards driving, primarily. I think they’ll have trouble with big teams. The only way they slowed TK was double and triple teams. We can still do better in reacting to those double-teams to get easy buckets, I think.
