All of these scouts in the crowd so everyone wants to be the "hero" and they're all playing like zero's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just flat out are not a talented team. Besides okoro and Wiley our team is a bunch of role players having to play starring roles. We can get away with it so far at home *knock on wood* but the road always exposed your team's flaws and weaknesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyinsocal 831 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Bruce needs to tear into some of these young guys to quit playing cautious and scared. Take the pressure off. Play with nothing to lose instead. But again. A slight different rotation tonight in an effort to keep Doughty and McCormick somewhat fresh for the 2nd half. We've been a 2nd half team all year.

How can everybody's timing be off for an entire half? Does our team hold regular practices where the players get to practice passing, shooting and simple rebounding? What a scheisse show. smh I know this isn’t your first time watching basketball this season. Because this is a game-to-game occurrence. Okoro helps, but we’ve been streaky all season.

TigerJeep 16 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 We are just not a good shooting team. Forget the freaking 3. Forget it this year. Go inside more. Why not? We can’t hit layups though... so... hmmm. Slams only from here out. 4 minutes ago, thewhiz7 said: It feels like we are the 12-13 team. Hopefully we can turn this around in the 2and half.

tgrogan21 6,198 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 This is a huge sign of why we can't do anything. Take Wiley and J'von out and we are 1-18 from the field. Someone HAS to step up and play better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't blame them for being a little selfish. A sad place to be. I just think we need to pass more to open up options inside, or take better shots. So many 3's we've taken so far just haven't been good. I think we're realizing just how much Okoro facilitated on offense even if he wasn't making baskets. His vision and passing is so much better than our guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,147 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Purifoy keeps shooting 3's from way beyond the line and missing. We can't make a layup. Jvon and Wiley have been our only Offense. We have actually played pretty good defense on Edwards. He is going to get his points but we have not been killed by him. Hammons and Wheeler are hurting us. On one play Jamal Johnson shoots a horrible looking three and than does not get back and Wheeler goes the distance. Flanagan has missed at least 3 layups as has Doughty. If we just hit 2/3rds of our missed layups we are in the lead. Also when will this team realize they can't hit 3's on the road and just quit shooting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GwillMac6 20,677 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Flannigan is the very definition right now of million dollar move but 5 cent finish dude. He's had some pretty misses in the paint that haven't gone down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GwillMac6 20,677 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 We miss Jared more than anything for his ability to beat his man and get guys open shots on the perimeter. We don't have good shooters but a lot of our attempts are heavily contested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't get over how the entire team can go cold the first period of every single game. And we had no bright spot this entire half. Usually there's some sort of bright spot - at least somebody is doing something right. This is just inexplicable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle-1 3,821 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I've given up on Purifoy. Dude is 6'8", and just hangs around outside the arc hoping to get a pass so he can jack up a three. His three point game is usually pretty fair, but the guy refuses to get involved in the inside game on the offensive end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a huge ability he has but I think we miss his ability to get the play set up a lot better as well as his leadership. Watching J'von made me realize just how good of a QB Harper was on the court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
