Tee4three Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Hot take: the team plays better basketball when one of mballa or williams are out Not saying they are a problem (they aren't) just that ball movement and communication seem better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope Responsibly pushing tempo off rebounds too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AT is trying to find a combo or spark. Ty Perry, Hardnett, Jones. I hope someone catches fire. They are playing well, making good passes and most of the shots have been good, even if they don't fall. Williams seems to have a little spark today so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both players are slow deliberate offense players. When the ball comes their way tempo slows and both ball and player movement stop. This team was good when we didn’t run plays for Mballa, we just let him eat off O-boards. But as he’s grown as a player he wants more iso. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DooleyBull06 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 That last play before this break was a perfect example of issues that have plagued us. We got a defensive rebound, you could see Thorpe telling them to push tempo up court. We did. Blocker then turned the all over on the wing. We have to find that right mix of tempo but playing under control. It’s an oxymoron…slow down but play fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like calling it pace and rhythm I feel like the team has forgotten a key element that oats always preached about having the ball touch the paint on every possession 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When playing his role of offensive rebounding, solid D and second chance points he dominates.

UB92 Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 Watching game. Guys are playing hard. Perry needs more arc on his shot because his line drive misses create fast break opportunities on the other end. At least if he misses it with arc, it won’t come off the rim as fast! Or maybe he should shoot less… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are big time minutes for guys. Foul trouble is gonna be an issue in the second half. Keeping a revolving door of players in the game will be a good way to neutralize that Edited January 1, 2022 by DooleyBull06 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he personally builds off the Miami game. That was his best game possibly of his career. Being selfless would be just that. Selfish would be trying to impress draft scouts.
