I don't know if it's the particular matchup, but the second Gil goes out each and every game, our offense becomes nonexistent and one of two things happen:

1.  Earl Boykins dribbles, and dribbles more, and more, and more until he passes and a terrible shot gets jacked up as the shot clock sounds, or

2. Earl Boykins dribbles, and dribbles some more, but this time finds an alley to drive and either gets off a runner or passes to open shooter.  

Option 2 doesn't make for much more of a consistent offense than 1, but in rare instances (like tonight against the Bucks), things click and shots fall.  Most of the time, however, this Gilbert-for-Earl sub halts whatever offensive momentum we have and is when our large leads evaporate.  

I gotta believe that for this team to get a legitimate win this year, we need a backup ball handler that can see over defenders' heads the floor, pass quicker, and keep offensive continuity.
