my issue with joe in bc game was the functioning of the offense. thats the PG primary job and the offense wasnt doing well.  first 36 minutes joe wasnt playing well in terms of PG and facilitating offense.  the team shot 39% for the game and I actually put some of that on lack of good PG play.  Symir came in and got 3 quick assists...almost as many as joe had all game. 3 to 4. BC was there to be carved up but joe wasnt doing it.

with 8 mins left in the game they were cruising and went to the stall ball and let joe dribble out the clock every possession...of course hes gonna feature then

he had the ball and BC was fouling on purpose.  credit for making the 8 FT..but it wasnt as if he was scoring those FTs off anything he was doing specifically other than being the one with the ball..  other than that amazing 3 he hit...It was the other teams decision, basically

nobody else could score was a symptom of the strategy! it was by design!

of couse no one else can score if joe is dribbling the ball for 25 seconds every possession.

i dont like the strategy and i never will...late game situtations this season have not been good for this team but they got away with it this time.

Considering the end, he didnt have a bad game.  but if he plays that way vs better teams...it will be a loss 80% of the time.

team will need more than 9 assists total to beat VT. book it.

if you look at scoring in the box score...joe had a good game.  if you look at PG as facilitator of offense (which I do) Joe didnt meet the threshhold for "good game"
