  1. He simply doesn’t have the ball handling and passing skills of a PG and his defense is poor… but when he is on the court the opposing D has to respect him which opens the floor even when he is not hitting shots
  2. Because we went from a 21 point lead to 13 points in just a few minutes and our team looks like it’s easing off on both ends
  3. Looks like a blowout sweep of the Sooners
  4. Nice lead with good offense but need to prevent the easy layups a bit better on defense and avoid relaxing too much on that end Abmas with another one of his career worse offensive days so far … and would prefer getting someone else some minutes beside Horton But definitely an A grade so far
  5. Good offensive movement, energy, and shot selection so far to start half 2
  6. Shitty shitty defense by the good guys
  7. So running a pick and roll with the guys Shedrick and Horton are covering should be gravy…
  8. Odd abmas deer in the headlights graphic
  9. With Disu's knee and Cunningham's thumb, we are basically a 6 man rotation that adds some 7th man minutes for Onyema. If we'd been able to get a couple other scholarship guys in for a few serious developmental minutes in prior games, we might have a little more to lean on. As it stands, Shedrick will need to be very good and Hunter and/or Horton will likely need a solid scoring game for us to prevail against OU. I am more confident in Shedrick (unless his back problems flare up) than Hunter and Horton. Abmas needs to play under control and look to pass rather than throw up the off-balance, half court shit if they choose to take him out of the game with double teams and press defense. He went from amazing to wtf when Disu went down in the last game. A lot of that was because Baylor decided to take him out and our offense devolved to him forcing up bad shots in the final 1/4 of the game.
  10. I could see beard jumping to Indiana if offered, being a Bobby knight protege
  11. It felt like we got out of our offense and starting forcing one on one stuff about the time Disu last came into play game. Lotta rushed poor shots by guys that should know better after disu’s injury and really bad weakside rotation and covering the rolling pick man when we aggressively hedged the ball handler … I doubt Terry told them to ease off. They panicked when Disu went out (despite doing okay without him for long stretches) and played lazier / sloppier 2 dumber ball on both ends the second half … Refs also seemed to get whistle happy on one end of the court
  12. Horton ain’t gonna rotate … he might roll over in neutral sometime later tonight but fuck breaking a sweat on defense… best keep Shedrick back on his man
  13. Horton plays like he is 1 touch from fouling out all the time.
  14. Number 15 has both hands on people pushing on defense
  15. Weaver need not leave the floor except for exhaustion or foul trouble
  16. Probably 2 … maybe 3 if he has a third year of eligibility
  17. wears the sponsor shoes nobody else wants to be seen in?
  18. Horton looks like he joined the team this morning … he frequently appears to have no idea where he is supposed to be on both ends of the court and often gets in the way of teammates
  19. Energy looks okay… but playing way too sloppy for game 29 against a bottom dwelling opponent … rarely used lineup on the court currently … Disu, Shed, weaver, Brock and Hunter
  20. Sometimes it's impossible to pinpoint if a player has been coached up and is simply fucking up and/or not following the plan, or whether the player is confused/doesn't know how to do something right due to subpar coaching. What is evident with this team is that it has shown the ability to play great some games and play embarrassingly poor basket ball during other games. Sometimes the team looks like a sweet 16 team and others it looks like a first round NIT loser over the course of the same game. The inconsistency represents a significant weaknesses in confidence, focus, conditioning, reacting on the fly, play-calling, fundamentals, etc... all of which suggest shortcomings by the coaching staff in scheming, motivation, substitution patterns, and practice repetition. Every coach has his weaknesses. Perhaps this team would be a few wins better if Terry's assistants were stronger at things he is not that great at. Perhaps he is a bell curve coach at best.
  21. That’s WAS a foul on Issacs
  22. Bill Laimbeer shit there
  23. Really need abmas to play with more control and court iq… him throwing up bad shots early in the shot clock is inexcusable … he can jack those up with the clock running out…
