Poor officiating is only part of the issue…it is a contributing factor.

Easy shots vs contested. That's what I see is the major factor.

It affects several aspects of the game, not least who is in foul trouble

Walter can't seriously be this bad from 3pt land. Dudes gotta be around 20% from 3 in conference. It's at the point where him shooting a 3 is equal to a turnover

I am really kind of surprised we are still in this late. Feels like we should be down double digits.

Theyve missed two layups in last couple of possessions.

This three point shooting is ridiculous. Some nights, you just gotta tip your cap.

How many people said that about Keyonte? And he's a top 10 rookie in the Association this year. In a historically good draft class at the top.

He's gotta get stronger and work on better coordination. Those men up there will eat him alive.

Keyonte at least showed signs. What has Walter shown? Honest question.

Good point. The big difference was Georgecwas far better creating his own shot, Walters struggles there.

The ability to fit in to a winning squad. Good rebounding for a guard. Ability to create off the dribble. Solid shooting mechanics (he's 80% from the FT stripe).

Lots of signs there, it's just overshadowed by his horrific 3 pt shooting in league play.
