Minnesota, Fri. Nov. 18, 9pm, BTN/570AM

[we are sju]

Have to get Mussini out of there

 

[redfanO10101ll]

Interior defense is a huge problem for us.

 

[mjmaherjr]

I hate saying this but I might sub Ellison in for Mussini. Unless we can put Simon in Ellison's jersey.

The run is with Mussini on the court spreading their defense out

 

[basketballjones]

Their guys are much stronger

 

[41ndone]

Owens fouling out might be the best thing that happened for us in this game,

 

[MCNPA]

How they getting fouls every time in there? Owens had his hands up! Let's step it up fellas. We aren't stopping them. Defensive issues.

 

[redfanO10101ll]

Mussini is why Lovett is able to operate right now. Not the issue at all in my eyes. The d is screwed for other reasons

 

[Red.Fans]

they gotta keep driving the middle drawing fouls

 

[mjmaherjr]

Too much coffey is going to keep me up tonight

Owens picked up the last 2 fouls because of Mussini

 

[basketballjones]

Out of control. No offensive continuity. Where is Ahmed? Small line up not working.

I'm not a defender of Mussini's defensive ability (he's not good) but Owens lack of body control and the whole interior defenses lack of toughness feels like a much, much bigger issue than Mussini to me.

 

[RedStormNC]

Can't take watching Sima with ball in his hands.

Clueless.

 

[MarkRedman]

Their guys are much stronger

Of course they are
We are playing with 4 guards on the floor at the same time
Not a good combination - can't guard their bigs with Mussini & Ellison

 

[we are sju]

We are going to need a third guy to help out Lovett and Ponds

 

[MCNPA]

It all comes down to lack of interior play right now. We are missing both interior defense and offense. People hoping Zach Brown gets a year sitting out to mature next year might rethink that. We need someone on interior that can play. It's hurting us overall right now.

 

[redmaninalbany]

Tougher than we are..
Bigger than we are...
we still shiwed we can play with them overall

 

[MarkRedman]

We are going to need a third guy to help out Lovett and Ponds

Should be Ahmed and/or Yakwe

 

[Knight]

Ellison not the answer.
