That team has to much talent to be losing games to some of these teams. Playing favorites never works.Just put the best and most deserving players on the court. Too many internal issues.
Well spoken check stat sheet. Shouse insists on playing 25-30 percent shooters and players only looking for their own.I know first hand even the players dont feel like he is playing the best players and are growing tired of losing.
