Not a pretty win. Lots that continue to be frustrating, but I wanted to give props to Q for stepping up and going 9/11 today (including 4-4 from 3). Starting to wonder if he moves better and plays looser without Naji on the court. This game should give him some confidence that he can play well when he is free to operate in a way that works best for him and isn’t stifling.
“Core 4” sounds like a group who has always had perfect chemistry together, but honestly we know that is not the case. They simply are 4 guys who have played together for two plus years now. They never truly seemed to compliment or complete one another in the same way that some teams have from the past. Even the team that had Tre as the main go to guy, also had a bunch of complimentary players who were always anticipating teammates moves and were expected to make the smart pass or see the opportunity for an easy bucket. This team has behaved as if the offensive game plan is for everyone to just get the ball to Naji, Paula or Jones and see if they can do something first... and only go to others if they are struggling.

I don’t know what to make of it. It’s like they take turns being good, but don’t do it all together. Hopefully we peak by the end of the season, learn how to play “together” and go on a run. It does seem strange to me.

Great game from Q. I agree, this team if particularly bizarre, because the the talent appears to be there. Who knows maybe come March everything will click. We saw some of it come end of the year last year.
Run the table.

Grade school level offense right now. Not much is improving. Great game from Q, most of his points were scored by him simply beating his man off the dribble and getting to the basket. It helped that WC doesn't have a shot blocker in the paint.

I have slammed q when his play was awful, so I'm happy to praise him when he has a helluva game as he did last night. Great job by him and hope he can build on this game for the rest of the year.
With that said, about half the game was some of the ugliest basketball I have ever seen on the offensive side of the ball. Scruggs couldnt even pass the ball last night. It seriously looked like grade school sets.

Last night was a struggle and was really frustrating to watch at times until the last 10 or so minutes.
That being said, I'd rather be "struggling" at 10-2 than struggling at 7-5.
Preseason, every one of us would have been ecstatic at 10-2, 12 games in.
