Re: FIRE COX

We need a go-to guy for crunch time. They tried to feed Mahkel but neither twin shoots fouls well enough. Leggett isn’t ready. Probably should be Shep/Walker as many others have mentioned. Nobody stepped up in crunch time that’s why we lost.

A road win is always good, no matter how ugly. Martin was the MVP tonight and has been our unsung hero all year IMO. Shep did not play well, but we need him on the floor. Once he was put back in the game stabilized, for the most part.

Both Thomas and Carey will play better with some starters around them.
