At the half, he is the second best point guard on the floor behind some kid from UNC who is playing for the first time tonight.  Hopefully, second half is much better.

Catch the ball and we are up 6.

You're telling us its because of a few mishandled passes. He played a horrible game. Had no pressure on a PG who hardly ever plays. I don't think he turned the kid over once. But then again when you're five feet away from him it's hard to steal the ball.

We had two guys who were beyond hot, and he should have made sure he got them the ball. That's what I want the greatest PG of all time to do.

I'm trying to figure out just what would've happened. I'm kind of afraid of that answer. I think running down the middle of the street would've been in order.

He didn't not play is best tonight, his shooting was bad, but he was still effective... + He had 6 assists and would have had at least 10 if bigs had finished + He constantly broke down the defense in the 2nd half, that lead to second and third passes, after UNC got out of position that led to 3's + He played off the UNC point guard all night on purpose - this was obvious to anyone that has played before. The stilman kid was afraid to shoot or drove. By playing off he could help others, sag to clog passing and cutting lanes. We didn't lose because of any one player or play (offut FT). People trying to pin something on one player or play are not intelligent.

Not pinning loss on anybody, just want my PG to play a smart game. And if you're not blaming anyone why bring up Walts missed free throw. DJ is a good player, but when you're playing the number one seed and have a chance to win you have to value every possession. I'm old school and that's the way I was taught. I don't agree with everything people say on this site, but I don't  say they're retarded or they're an idiot.

I mentioned Walt to point out that you were wrong to pin the loss on one person, DJ, when there were countless reasons we we took it to overtime and countless reasons we lost. If you really had played that much basketball, or had ever played PG, you'd know how many plays he set-up tonight and how well he played team defense. He shot terribly, but shooting isn't everything, and you over-simplified his performance. I take back that you are retarded and an idiot. I don't agree with your statements at all and question your evaluation of basketball.

I literally had to be picked up off the floor by my friends and family when that shot rimmed out. I fell like a ton of bricks (with a twisted ankle and a nasty floor burn on my knee to show for it). Had it gone in, I probably would've passed out on the spot.
