I think if you can't get on the floor for a bad team, you generally leave. I'd be surprised if more than one of Harden, Kennedy or James return. And I would not be at all surprised if all three leave.

Rebounding is still the glaring issue for me.
That's an effort stat and after I brought it up a few games ago it's only gotten worse.
Depaul got 41% of their misses last night. That's an absurd number.
This team's issues start with defense and rebounding.
You can win a lot of games with an offense in the top 55.
It's hard to win any with a defense outside the top 200.
If you want to see us beat DePaul 6 weeks ago you may want to watch this.. There is a little difference in spacing

I’m not saying Travis is without blame but a lot of this is a result of not having any shooting. We’re easy to defend because Paul is the only person that can hit a shot outside the paint. Q can’t even make uncontested layups. The weave helps us open driving lanes. We make the extra pass but the extra pass is to a guy that can’t shoot so what does it matter? Head fakes don’t matter cause no ones a threat to shoot etc.
The basketball iq is definitely at a premium and that’s definitely on coaching
I hear you. I'm thinking about Wednesday night in particular. 8:30 pm start, which you know full well means 8:45 or worse. I HATE those late night work night games anyway, but with a very real chance at a bad loss, I'm strongly considering just watching the game on TV. That way, when the team checks out, so can I.
I need the "Why should I make the trip to Cintas to watch this level performance, under these conditions" pep talk.
That said, fully planning on going to see the Villanova game.
