Should we just play 40 min of Hell?

[Cuse_NYC]

or at least do that 3/4 court press we did against Houston, for say half the game?. It frustrated them for sure. We were able to pull away with it. We have enough bodies. We can’t generate offense, it can’t hurt.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Yes.

Couldn't do it with guys sick though.

It is already 40 minutes of hell for the fans

I thought you didn't like Bryce Zephir. So now you like him.

55 if you count the post game presser

Personally I don't think we are quick enough for extended minutes of pressing.
Easier fix at least in my opinion, install an offense.

i think so

i think it really helps the offense...they play aggresive and score more while pressing

Unfortunately our PG is terrible in transition and on fast breaks. But I agree. Anything to minimize the half court slog. Remember back in the day we had elite PG play? I remember growing up watching Pearl and Sherm, then the next generation with Flynn, Ennis, gmac, MCW, etc could go on and on... So frickin painful now

Anything that would mask the lack of organized offense. That would make use of our depth and athleticism and hopefully allow for more transition points. But, that would require Red to recognize the problem and make an adjustment.

I don’t. But I don’t like losing to ‘stra

I’m with you. I sound like a broken record, but I don’t think the staff is capable. That 3/4 press actually looks ok

it’s been 40 minutes of hell every game

Shoot, even triche or scoop are levels above what we’ve has recently

 

[jdubs30]

Feel like we should go the other way. Absolutely burn the clock on offense and rely on the half court D. Limit the overall possessions.

We don’t make shots, don’t have an offensive system, and can’t make FTs - we need to the limit the amount of shots we take lol

 

[PhatOrange]

The last two games have been 40 minutes of hell

 

[721Comstock]

I’d settle for Forty Minites of Heck at this point.

IF defense is our calling card, then play it.

 

[tbonezone]

more like 30 days in the hole

Did you actually type "even triche or scoop" ? I realize the hyperbole on this board is off the charts lately, but this is blasphemous.

Do you have any idea how many games we won when "even triche" was playing?

No, no, I loved both. It was more that they weren’t included in the original post that i replied to

Ennis and transition do not belong in the same sentence.

I’m in. Go the Alabama route. Just go crazy and start slinging from everywhere. Rotate 11 guys. Become ungovernable. Overthrow the government. Make the tournament.
