A Purge

Ahem...

Oh Mr. Felton? DRIVE THE FRIGGIN' LANE!!!

What the hell are you waiting for? A written invitation by Coach K? Your man takes himself entirely out fo position by overplaying the pass to McCants leaving the lane wide open... you essentially have a 3 on 2 with about 4 seconds left.

And what do you do?

You pick up the dribble.

12 year old point guards know better than that.

At that point, you were pretty much screwed, but to pore a little salt in the wound you give it up to David Noel (even though May was open in the high post). David Noel... he of the second worst hands on the team next to Byron Saunders. Behind the line, in a crowd, and squeezed against the sideline.

Brilliant... You better find a pair, and soon.

P.S. I will also dole out 5% of the blame to McCants: he didn't read how his man was playing the screen... he could have curled over the screen or slipped under it. Either way he would have had the ball in the lane to shoot a little jumper or drive. 5% also goes to Roy Williams for the mere fact that he had David Noel on the court for a last second offensive set. I mean, you are pretty much telling the defender to cheat on screens and clog the lanes. Not a good move there either.

When will it end? 15 of the last 17 games are Carolina losses. Granted, we've been in a period of transition for quite some time. But now that we're back in top form, stuff like this just shouldn't happen.

aarrrgghhh!!
