Here's the thing though....we WERE absolutely on fire in the first half. Same team did make all the threes, and also turned the ball over. Both things were true. You can't revise history and create a fictitious loss.

Just like you can't put words in my mouth but that's what you're attempting to do with your post.

I’m fine with him dunking on fans after a win if he would be a little more real and critical when things aren’t going good.
You just hit the nail on the head about Williams. He won’t say bad word about his buddy and fans who do are bad fans.

The turnovers actually were't too bad if you take away Keshon's (nine, and no one with more than three). This can probably be said about many stats in most games though (take away the one guy with the most and it's different).

He used to finish/score on a lot of those drives and that hasn't been happening as much this year, along with not drawing many fouls on them.
He’s the only one repeatedly, consistently turning it over with reckless play that doesn’t fit what the rest of the team is trying to do.

Frankly he deserves no more than 10-15 minutes right now. Let him feel it out without repeatedly killing our momentum. And if he finds himself one of these games, you loosen the leash a little.

We cannot afford to let him try to play through it with heavy minutes at this time of the year. We are very bounceable in the tournament if the turnovers stay high.

I’m concerned that TJ will do the opposite of the aforementioned

I think he's afraid of losing sources if he's critical of the teams. Not so worried about criticising fans/customers it seems.

He was pretty good on defense today though. Kind of have to take the bad with the good in some respects.

I guess you take the good with the bad. Williams does such a great job covering this team in part BECAUSE he's established great relationships with the coaches. Especially TJ.
