We were fortunate not to fall further. It seems to me that the teams who blow us out do so by pressuring our guards--especially coming out and
picking them up way out front--frequently trapping them successfully. None of our top three guards is a good ballhandler under pressure. None of them is adept of beating pressure with a dribble (or a quick pass). The we can't get the ball to our go-to guys down low. The poor guard play under pressure is why P.J. has to handle the ball so much.
