Again it happened. Now you can blame coaching. But this happened under Malone too. During the first half I was thinking how Cousins is one of the greatest players I have ever seen. This team made a playoff contender look like they didn't belong on the court with us.
Then comes the third quarter and we can't make a simple layup go in. Ben just throws the ball out of bounds like he is afraid of his own shadow. Stauskas steals the ball but can't complete the layup. And this continues until we are so far behind we can't win the game. Cousins who completely dominated can't make a layup. Meanwhile the wizards are running around sticking out they're chests like the just beat Goliath because in the first we were.
Are we lacking talent, conditioning, coaching or is there some conspiracy? I don't think I have ever seen anything like this before. Not on a repeatable basis.
What should we do? On one hand I love Cousins. The guy is unbelievable. On the other there is something wrong with this team. Are we not being patient enough?
