  1. AJ is another febres ... has about one good offensive game every 5 games, is horrific on defense, plays full speed about once or twice each half, won’t rebound, and crazily favored by Shaka Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. There’s a difference between trying to do the right things and being outplayed by superior talent ... this team has no clue and provides inconsistent effort and has little fight... pathetic effort and coaching Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Jesus ... put some air under the ball ... George Costanza could block some of these wait level shot put layup attempts our mentally soft guards are lobbing up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. 24% overall and 17% from three... yay! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. I can say one thing about this team... when you think they’ve hit rock bottom for sloppy panicked middle school level play, they show they can stink it up even worse Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  15. If the team has any pride, they'll make it a game up through half time... sadly, if they get a decent lead or fall behind by more than 3 points, guys on our team tend to start chunking the long, BAD shots. The coach and players don't seem to appreciate the rare instances where line-ups click and energy on offense results in good shots. We just slide back into the poor discipline/discretion, 4 small lineup, and unforced errors. It's just a circus of repeated headbanging against concrete hoping for a different outcome. I can see this being competitive for a while until Drew runs plays to pull Sims out of the paint on defense and our guards start popping the step back jumper bricks. Neither our coach or players seem to recognize when to stick with what might be working or how to adjust when the opposing team knows more about what you are running than 1/2 your teammates.

  25. Shaka has actually stumbled (intentionally or by shear luck) into some things that have worked the past few games after getting ass-raped by WVU. Those have included playing Hepa and Kai with Sims, pressing a bit, giving Williams more minutes, feeding Sims the ball, and playing Febres and AJ sparingly (since both have absolutely not desire to play full speed on defense or fight for a board). Despite glimpses of watchable basketball, he continues to fall into using a 4-small line-up in crunch time and let his players shoot horrible 3's with absolutely no repercussions. The only guy that isn't trying to be Steph Curry seems to be Sims. Williams' benefit the past few games has been energy, pressing the pace, and driving the paint, yet Shaka has him getting his 3's up in crunch time versus Kansas instead of feeding the guy inside who is shooting over 80%. Febres and AJ completely stagnate the offense when on the court together and want nothing to do with playing defense or rebounding the ball, and they are in defending bigger or faster guys (matador style) when we need a stop and jacking up threes early in the shot clock when we should be working it inside to at least collapse the defense for a better look for them. Baker and Kai come in for size and rebounding purposes and promptly decide they want to get their threes up. Ramey continues to get frustrated and jack up phone-it-in 3's at the expense of his team when the game is still in the balance. Shaka has no reigns or is too stubborn or ignorant to use them. He has a very poor sense of when to sub in and when not to pull a player from the game. He seems oblivious to match-ups on the court at times and seems fine with watching Febres and AJ getting posted up by power forwards and standing flatfooted while opposing players reach over them for rebounds . His offense is to get about 30 threes up and hope Febres, AJ, Coleman, and Ramey hit about 45% or better on them. It's kind of like he's trying to base his offense on a James Hardin style of play, which is not going to win 50% of the games without James Hardin on the team. It was infuriating to see Coleman get stuck guarding Kansas' big men with Ramey standing they watching instead of doubling down to try to help his out-manned teammate. Give me Sims, Kai, Hepa, Williams, and Coleman... I'll deal with Hepa and Williams getting beat off the dribble by smaller guys with Kai and Sims in the paint. Bring Ramey, and Hamm off the bench. Tell Ramey his role is to play good defense and drive he ball. When he pouts or gets lazy on offense and starts standing and shooting the 1/2 court 3's, yank his ass. Febres and AJ need some very tough love right now. They are going at junior high speed and effort about 85% of the time and that doesn't cut it. They can both make shots, bot don't seem interested in working to get good shots or playing the defensive end of the court. Even when the rest of the team is moving they simply stand around and crowd areas outside the 3 point line which fucks up the spacing and pacing lanes.
