We got our butts kicked by MCW and Monroe. RoLo and Calderon should have played a reduced role to mitigate Monroe and MCW effectiveness. Kidd continued to send those two to the middle of our defense and dared Fisher to adjust to no avail. Instead of going with a more mobile player to guard Monroe, Fish elected to use RoLo who was non existent. MCW was killing us with the floaters, and Fisher couldn't find one player on the roster to shut down that kid. Lance has proven to be more then capable guarding big crafty guards (see the job he did on Harden); he should have been assigned to attempt to slow down MCW.

We once again got outcoached

Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

We also had no answer for Mayo. Had we limit MCW and Monroe, we would have won the game.

Yea mayo owned jose and was breaking down our defense by blowing by jose every time , same can be said for robin Monroe destroyed him. I'm really surprised that fish kept them out there when it was so obvious . These are games we really should go small with KP at the five

KP
MELO
Dwill
Gallo
Grant

Its great how smart you can be after a loss and in hindsight can come up with the things that could have worked, but then you never know do you?

Oh wait, you do.

Nal, isn't that what coaching should be all about? This is mostly what they get pay to do. In-game adjustment is a vital part of the job. If a dude like MCW who is not known to be a shooter is killing us from within 12', the adjustment should be to send guys at him to keep from getting into his comfort zone
