And again, these are 18 to 22 year old young men playing on the West Coast, doing a West Coast trip for the first time in their lives.

If you told me they were going to have an off shooting night, I would have said, yeah, that makes sense.

But this team was still able to come away with a 15-point win.

So there's definitely room to improve on the offensive end with the shooting.

Free throws should travel.

That's something that there is no excuse for.

That's something that we're almost kicking a dead horse at this point.

The free throw shooting has to get better.

But I'm not overly concerned about that.

The thing in the bad that is a little bit more concerning for me were those turnovers in the first stretch of the game.

And like I mentioned, the slow start, and there was another slow start today, but it was a slow start in a different flavor.

It was a slow start that was offense and turnover driven, not poor defense driven.

So...

Call it one step forward, two steps back, whatever analogy, metaphor you want to use there.

But they were very, very sloppy turnovers, and they were a lot of Cam Boozer turnovers.

Cam ended up with three turnovers on the day.

That's far too many for a guy who's playing primarily in the post to have.

He struggled early in the game with those double teams, which is something that is normally one of his strengths, is getting out of those double teams.

It seemed like he was...

almost too determined to take his man early in the game and so he held on to the ball just that extra beat longer to let that double team arrive and get established rather than identifying that and making the quick pass out i'm not i think that's something that again we've seen cam boozer be very very strong in those scenarios he was not at the beginning of the game
