Who are all these sh!threads commenting on this thread?

Anyway, if we can revert to even within the zip code of our normal 3pt %, we should win going away.

If we can't, it's gonna be ugly and close.

I know Cody is returning from injury, but if I'm a GM, I'm thinking twice.

 

[torero]

Listen to Jay Wright, put the ball in KJ’s hands and let him create off of ball screens. Not our usual strategy this year, but the right one for this game.

I know Cody is returning from injury, but if I'm a GM, I'm thinking twice.

He might still be hurt. Something is definitely off

 

[Darth Snow]

Neither team could shoot.

I think we've gotten really good at perimeter defense but it's been at the expense of giving up more layups & offensive rebounds off the spacing from being extended. Probably a good trade off for the modern game, but it's tough for me to watch.

I hate it. I can't even imagine how tad feels

 

[Darth Snow]

If we hit a decent proportion of 3s we're up 8, 11, 14?

They are 1/10. We are 1/8. Not the difference in the game.

They are 1/10. We are 1/8. Not the difference in the game.

there’s been a definite difference in quality. we’ve missed 6 wide open 3s

 

[SotaBuff]

Gotta hit some shots.

In the end, the team that scores the most points will win…

 

[cu3x]

for both teams combined: 1 of 18 3=pointers. That just can't last. We've missed at least 7,8 easy shots. that shouldn't last,

I think we are clearly better. I hope we show it.

 

[jumped ship]

Hadley has been quiet the last few games. looking to see him and Eddie get a few buckets early in the 2nd

 

[Buffnik]

They've gotten 5 more shots than us.

We're -4 in OReb & -2 in TOs.

If you do that, you need to shoot well or you're playing losing basketball.

 

[Robert Sorell]

They are 1/10. We are 1/8. Not the difference in the game.

True, but at least 3 of theirs were the heaves at the end of the shot clock or half, plus generally better looks for us

 

[Buffarino]

He might still be hurt. Something is definitely off

Yeah, he doesn't look like the same player from before he got hurt. He's tentative.

 

[InTheBuff]

I'm a bit nervous that some of their missed layups won't be in the second half.

 

[Hank]

Tad subbing Ruffin for Cody with 32 seconds left on that last offensive possession spoke volumes.

 

[Lightning]

"Neither team has a PG"? What?!

 

[alec10burks]

These refs are a ****ing joke

 

[SotaBuff]

So sloppy

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

Falling for the flop

 

[4BienemyTDs]

What bull**** sequences
Plow over TDS and the call it on LOB

 

[SotaBuff]

They’re letting them battle

 

[CarolinaBuff]

TDS!

 

[SotaBuff]

Hadley has been a liability

 

[4BienemyTDs]

Eddie thinks he is Joker, he is more like the Penguin

 

[alec10burks]

There we ****ing go

 

[torero]

Great first 4 minutes. It’s not gonna be easy.

 

[SotaBuff]

 

[CarolinaBuff]

Largest lead

 

[Hallett Hell]

Good start even with the TOs.

 

[Buffnik]

Love the intensity of this game.
