Goodin can't even make a dunk!!! Missed a layup and Nova hits a 3. Turns what could have been a 5 pt game into a 10 pt game. This team hasn't had a killer instinct all year. Feeling very frustrated!

JP makes a great pass to RG for a bucket and Brunson gets a bucket and 1 on the next possession.
They are unflappable as a team.
8 pt lead go to 14

Short shot clock and Goodin throws up an air ball. Fitting for the day he is having. Credit to Bluiett for playing hurt. But there comes a point when coach has to pick his minutes. He is getting beat on defense and not doing much on offense. Other players have to step up at some point and they are not. I get X has a weak bench this year with players leaving. I'm rambling out of frustration with this game and this season. Ugh!!

12 minutes played in the 2H and X has "cut" the lead from 12 to 11.
Unless something miraculous happens, no way X pulls out a W here.

If Mack isn't going to sit Goodin for a few minutes can an assistant? At this point if I were other players I would play keep away just to prevent Goodin from handling or shooting the ball.Gates and Macura playing hard though.

Gaston is 9-12 from the field.
Rest of the team is 9-39 or under 25%.
And 4-23 from 2 or 17%. Unbelievable.
Can't win shooting like that.

Gus trying to be kind - "Remember he is just a freshman".
Q having a horrible game.
1 for 13 from the field.

Another layup/dunk missed by Goodin. Gus Johnson, "remember folks he's a freshman." Lol! Goodin can rest easy though lots of other X players missing layups too. Game over and season may be over too.

Q is currently the only guard on our roster. It sucks he had his freshman game today but you X4life asking him to get benched is hilarious. Also no ed no Myles no bluiett its not like Q has a ton of guys left to dish it to.
