No, I don't blame Tyler Herro for tonight's L...

 I just make these observations:

-It was the worst L of the season, 28 points, and no other is really close.

-Tyler did not start. In fact he was the sixth man off the bench

-But he played starter's minutes, 29, second-high on the team.

-In 29' in his first game back he had 17 points.

-He was team next-low with -25.

-It is fact that opposing teams target Tyler on defense and unless he goes off offensively, live easily with the results.

-Dire Wolves shot 45-36, not traditional "Heat" D numbers but this season, not so out of the main.

-The "Heat" were ๐ŸงŠshooting, 36-32. That is not Tyler's fault. He was 7/15 (46.6%) from the whole floor, 1/4 (25%) from range, a little above the team average from the floor, below the team average from long range. Still only four long-distance shots. Only Norman (3/6) and Andrew (2/3) shot better from the arc.

In conclusion, we played abysmally as a team, it reads that we lacked connectivity, and we suffered our worst loss of the season with Tyler on the floor for starter's minutes and with second-low on +/-. It's our second loss in four days to Minn., one without Tyler, one with. The loss therefore is not surprising. The blow-out is very unexpected. Some of the lack of competitiveness tonight was Tyler Herro's fault. I do believe that.
