Is that Nelly in that game preview?

Nelly!!! He's back?

 

[CaptainJ]

Fortunately there is Better Call Saul later.

church (if only they could find a way to get a young Badger/Skinny Pete on there)

 

[Ghost]

Have we resorted to just throwing the ball toward the rim?

 

[Jasoncuse]

They have basketball players who are athletic

we have athletes who are playing basketball

Yup and Eeve been seeing that trend for years. I just wish we'd recruit more skilled kids over kids with long arms

 

[Ghost]

Give it to him, G. You've tried every r***ded pass imaginable tonight, but can't throw it into the post.

Blah. Why not sit him for a spell?

JB and this 40 minute nonsense...

 

[jekelish]

Having no semblance of a halfcourt offense, it turns out, is not good against an excellent halfcourt defense.

 

[tee1222]

Let's go!

 

[cuseattle]

Showing signs of life.

 

[Ghost]

That three would have been nice.

 

[Jasoncuse]

Why are our guys always so slow or hesitant to swing the ball when doubles come?

 

[jekelish]

You have got to hit that wide open three pointer in that situation. You just have to.

Gbinije is just killing us tonight.

No clue - why do we like to gather all of our players in one spot of the court on offense. We make ourselves easy to guard at times.

Agreed.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Cannot recall a year when our guards were so horrific at allowing dribblers into the lane. Its nearly automatic

 

[jekelish]

It drives me nuts how early, and how far from the hoop, our guards tend to pick up their dribble.

 

[Ghost]

I'm not liking G at all tonight.

He best turn it on soon.

We run pick-n-rolls all day for no reason whatsoever.

 

[Eric15]

Anthony Gill reminds me of Deron Williams with that killer short fadeaway.

Fundamentals, man.

 

[Cuse_1999]

I like where Roberson is heading, but damn he loses the ball a lot when he starts his move

How often have we had a good half court offense?

The Wes Johnson year.

We run a pro offense with kids who just don't have the skills necessary. There's too much standing around and not enough quick passes and movement. It's frustrating to watch JB trot the same repetitive "offense" out there.

 

[RF2044]

Poor offensive execution, poor movement away from the ball, poor rebounding, poor defensive rotations. Shots just aren't dropping [in no small part due to uva's defense].

We picked the wrong night to lay a stink bomb.

 

[jekelish]

How often have we had a good half court offense?

Seemingly never. It's something that has always driven me nuts with JB. We don't really run much of an offense.

 

[Jasoncuse]

How often have we had a good half court offense?

Very rarely
