Lucca screwed us bad!

**Skyh13** · 02-10-2010, 10:08 PM

As much as we don't need to make excuses, because our team is not good, they certainly haven't been dealt a very good hand this year.

For this game, we had:

JVB - Out
Boozer - Out
German Shooter Guy - Gone
Dendy - Out
SC - Mono

For real... that just sucks. And don't flame me, cause I understand that at some point this team has to overcome adversity to be anything other than bad.. but still.

Even a healthy Christopherson would have an off game now and then. Losing Lucca was huge.

Its not like Lucca is the only guy who gets beat of the dribble.

Excuses aside... we are just bad.

This!

Losing players has nothing to do with this. They don't help, but this was a bad team before and is a bad team now. You can't just say if Lucca plays were 9 points better and would have won tonight. It dosen't work that way. We lost. And we are a horrible basketball team. We will be a horrible team next year.

Missing those two threes at a crucial point in the game was bad enough, but his defense and rebounding was even worse! I still have hopes that SC can be a good player when he has recovered, but he is doing nothing but hurting us right now. At least get someone with energy to run up and down the court in there..

Oh, and yes I think we would've won this game with Lucca, we also would've won this game with Wes Johnson while you're at it. We aren't getting either of them back.
