This loss occurred in the 29th game of the season, not the last game of the season. There were about 20 different decisions Gates could have made to help his team win, but he didn't. There were players that could have played better but they didn't. I just hope they learned a lot of lessons about finishing an opponent when they have the chance, and that Gates identifies a perimeter defender that can keep people from getting into the paint. The short bench today made no sense. If no one wants to play defense on Manon, slap Allen or Barrett on him for a while. And for cripes sake if your 7'5" unicorn is healthy to play, get him in there to grab some rebounds.
