so we are 5-1 when do we play south carolina and wisky?
His attacking the basket left him 0-6 from 2. All point guards deal with guys not executing.
Frank didn't pull a boneheaded move out one out of four plays this game, he was garbage this game and his attitude matched his play.
He's very frustrating. He will make 4 great passes in a row but then just pulls a complete boneheaded play out that makes you wonder what he was thinking. He had a bunch of great passes tonight that our guys simply failed to convert. But he refuses to pass to Lydon when he's in perfect post position.
I actually liked him attacking the basket. At some point those will fall. But that attempted dunk was stupid. Simple lay-in and the foul would have been much better.
Thank you Toga... I really really needed that belly laugh... OMG... that was so funny! Thank you thank you!That's absurd. A shock collar set to stun however.
I don't think you know what "horrible" means. Note: it doesn't mean disappointing.
Also, if you're a point guard at this level, you have to have a little bit of swagger and attitude and leadership. Be vocal. Lead the team. Guys like Sims, Hart, Scoop, MCW were always talking and motivating. Frank is like a deer in headlights all the time.
Yeah, your opinion isn't great so whatever. I love the attitude whine. What did you want him to do?
We have too many guys who are TOO STUPID to realize they actually can't shoot an NBA-range three ball. Howard set three different guys up and they failed to set themselves up in the right spot by taking one more f-ing dribble. Cooney was also spectacularly bad at recognizing which line is the college line and which one was NBA.
The thing is, we see it all the time. Every player that commits to this team is a god. The worst thing that happened to Franklin Howard was Kaleb Joseph. All Frank did was go into the game to spell G and not trip over a banana peel and next thing you know he's better than MCW (yes, I read that).
Same with Lydon, Lydon is an excellent player, but he was a above average rotational player last year, that's it. He was maybe the 4th or 5th best player on the team last year?
Just wait until before next season when we hear about Moyer being the best.
His vision. I never expected him to score double figures. His role will be to get the ball to others. He had 13 assists last game. Today he had some takes to the hoop but didn't finish. He's been sporadic like the entire team. This kid is tailor made to throw lobs baseline but we don't run any sets that screen for our forwards on the backside. Do I our coaches have white boards?
Maybe we see something different, I've seen Howard many many many times look like a brat who didn't get what they wanted for Christmas.
I'm not going to sit here and blame 7 other guys to defend Howard's night. He was ZERO FOR NINE from the field, second most shots on the team, 4 assists and 3 turnovers.
He was awful.
He was bad today - I'm just not sure what we offer up on offense of late. Our offense seems to be stand around, pass around the perimeter, shoot a three.
I don't know.
We get better movement when we screen, but Lydon has to hit shots. He seems best shooting from the top of the key, so maybe run that play into the ground? We don't, but maybe we should...The pick and roll with him should be a weapon, but usually it's a pick from Coleman or Roberson. I don't know. We seem to run an offense designed to cause stagnation. We have to hit shots, we make too many mistakes not to. Blah.
49-36 in our last 85 regular season games since the most misleading 25-0 in history.
Obviously still 57% winning %. But basically the equivalent of going 10-7 over a 17 game stretch. Not great.

We have guys who can penetrate (even if they don't finish) and we have a bunch of guys who can hit a three. Do you see where I'm going here?
I didn't realize it was that bad. That's scary bad.
And if he wasn't attacking the basket you'd attack him for that as well. He got fouled on 2 or 3 of those nine as far as I could tell without a call. The officiating is ridiculous this year.
Will we hear anything in the presser that it's anything but the players' fault?
carter williams I loved him but he was full speed to the rim double or not.
JB's offensive sets wasn't the reason we shot 25% today.
I would love to see lydon get a high screen and run the offense out of the high post some instead of the three point line, long distance to the rim from the three point line. Especially tonight even against m2m, our longer shots were rattling out.
I absolutely would not attack him. He's awful at driving and out of control most of the time he attempts to. Those drives are turnovers that don't count against him in the box score as a turnover.
Yes, you would. That's what you do.
