  1. Deciding to screen the top of the zone with the Bigs has been a great strategic decision today. Has really opened up those driving and cutting opportunities.
  2. Let's get this ship baby! Big 2nd half right here. Keep the tourney games win streak going, heading into the Big Dance! TEXAS!!!!!
  3. This 1000%!!!! It's a guarantee at least one of my brackets will have this as an outcome...I mean who doesn't want to claim they picked their squad if they happen to make the run, right???
  4. Missing Ramey's penetration & kicks offensively. Offense lacks flow. May just need someone to get red hot tonight!!!
  5. Yeah not to mention both were also winless heading into those games. No excuses...but gotta get a win when “hopefully” theyre back at full strength Thursday Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Shot selection and TOs are just something you have to live with when ur such a perimeter guard oriented team like this one. Our bigs are more slashers/finishers than they are post players. I’d like to see more perimeter shots come off dribble/drive/kick but but it’s unrealistic to not expect a couple ill advised impatient possessions when guards have the ball in their hands as much as ours do, imo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Big win! Schedule doesn’t lighten up though. Have Nova & Baylor coming up in 2 of our next 3 games Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Haven’t had a chance to watch much of UNC yet. What are their strengths? Are they gonna try to beat us up inside? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Yeah my site has Texas +1 now, but looks like it opened with Texas -1 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Not sure what they're supposed to be this year, but after watching IU dismantle Prov I expected IU to be a bigger favorite today honestly
  11. After watching the first 2 games I will say that defensively the athleticism this team brings will give anyone they face trouble as long as they stay disciplined. With their range there's no reason to over help or trail cutters. If they keep everything in front of them and make folks have to play over the top, they're going to be a handful cause they should be monsters on the defensive glass with all the length they have there. The guards controlling dribble penetration is paramount as that will keep those bigs out of foul trouble and on the court for that rim protection. But that goes for Kai, GB3 & Sims as well. When they get out on the perimeter there's no reason for them to be overly aggressive, just let those littles try to shoot over you and if they try to drive use that length and athleticism to stem their penetration. No reason their feet should ever get outside the arc imo. Offense is stll basic as we still don't run any semblance of a set. Just pick & rolls with a few dribble handoffs mixed in. I'd like to see them set a rule that the majority of 3s should come off catch and shoot opportunities. There's almost no reason for them to dribble into a 3. And if they drive with the intent on looking for cutting bigs, that in essence should be the focus of our offense. Catch it on the perimeter and if they close out too hard use that quickness to get into the paint. But not to force a finish, but rather force the D to collapse and hit one of those uber athletic bigs with rim cuts. Cause those guys CAN FINISH and score OVER just about anyone (bare in mind they will get fouled so hopefully they improve there. Sims FT stroke looks a lot better). But i'll be honest with you, throwing the ball to Sims or Kai in spots where they have to create shots for themselves other than a 1 dribble finish is a liability imo. They are not throw it into the post and let them work kind of bigs. They're more finishers to me. Granted i din't include GB in that as i've yet to see him get it in the post and try to work to get a shot. I did see him cut off a screen into the lane and get a beautiful AND-1. That kind of cutting action is gonna be deadly with him. Looking forward to see this team develop. As many have mentioned, there's talent size and athleticism galore. Excited to see where it all ends up!
  12. ESPN has it as a 12:30pm CST tip as well. I'm with you. I'm working from home, so don't mind the early tip either.
  13. Post D especially!
  14. This!!!
  15. Davidson at 11am today (Maui Invitational). Anyone know what to expect from them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. For 1 year at vet minimum well worth the risk imo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. This made me giggle...need a little more humor in our lives these days
  18. Working out somewhere in SoCal. Don't know much more than that though
  19. I doubt either of them get traded before the season starts. Especially Russ. His stock is so low now, they'd need to wait until he plays well in the regular season before teams get interested enough to make meaningful offers. Harden just needs to accept that he's here for the foreseeable future. He has no leverage now that it's known he's interested in being moved. And it's the NBA. Players don't holdout due to the restrictions in their CBA
  20. Hearing that Klay tore his achilles. Man i feel terrible for him if that's true...another long rehab! That sucks
  21. If folks are taking players that rode the bench in college at #4, there's no wonder folks are trading out of this draft!!!
  22. Anyone know where to find/stream the exhibition game tonight? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Announcers keep mentioning that the Astros have to be back in Houston by a certain time today. Any idea what for?
  24. As for tonight, i generally agree with this kind of approach. However, with the embarrassing performance in which the defense would still be hemorrhaging points had the clock not run out...I absolutely see defense as a TOP priority. I'll take anything on that side of the ball not only this pick but the next one as well. I don't care what offensive players are available. There's an absolute need there if you consider yourself a contender. You should know w/o a doubt that ur not nearly capable of dealing with a team like KC...if you're doing any kind of real self-assessing that is!
  25. If's and buts - I know. But if you had the choice would you keep Derion Conley & Duke Johnson or would you all rather have those additional 3rd round picks right now? Meaning you'd have (4) picks tonight instead of (2). I know which way i'd lean. I'd personally like to have the picks that were used for those guys instead. That's just me and my revisionism.
