Message: [QUOTE="Scott11, post: 4180491, member: 6797"] There are a few factors that make this team less fun to root for: 1.) the different treatment from JB some players get opposed to others for the same type of mistakes (see Jimmy leaving repeatedly the corner jumper open last night with no reaction from JB as opposed to when Jesse or Frank does the same thing or JB tongue-lashing and benching Frank 2 minutes into the first half for missing a rebound last night as Jimmy failed to get one in the first half) 2.) the poor shot selection and selfish get mine offense that is tolerated without consequence-this team does not pass when they go to the basket 3.) playing guys 35 minutes or more even if they don't deserve it which also leaves them with no legs at the end of the game 4.) JB's refusal to let younger players get run and make mistakes without immediately yanking them and his failure to invest in their future so that they can get better and increasingly contribute to the team 5.) the zone is increasingly less effective in today's game where every team has 3 or more shooters on the court-the lament that the other team shot above their fg percentage so we were unlucky is absurd because teams always shoot better when they are wide open-plus asking bigs to go from the center of the court does not work particularly well when the same bigs are playing 35 minutes and are exhausted 6.) lazy, hands down closeouts from our guards on the perimeter 7.) an inability to safely get the ball in bounds in pressure situations at the end of games 8.) Jimmy's constant complaining to the refs 9.) JB calling out all but 3 of his players at his pressers and embarrassing them-does no good-and then he brags about his kids regardless of how well they played-I was never one who was concerned about unfair treatment when Buddy and Jimmy committed but you can't ignore reality [/QUOTE]
