The individual tendencies was a bit glaring. Too many times they were able to swipe down and simply take the ball away because they knew what the player wanted to do.

 

Maybe they should install the Flex/Flow offense and start with that Fake Wheel with the Stager. Someone actually mentioned the basic weave that could get them at least moving the ball.
It's pretty funny these are some of the most basic offensive motions but this team doesn't seem to be able to run them?
Seems like one of the biggest problems is there doesn't seem to be anyone who can set a screen properly.
Teams are fronting Ayton but nobody seems to be able to pass him the ball around the hoop for easy dunks?
It might help if they had someone that could make a three consistently.

Yes, I probably should have put that all in GREEN. If you have been watching at all you know the joke.

Sell the damn team Jody.

 

Shaedon, Scoot and Ayton were my reasons for watching this year. Scoot is out and Ayton has been showing some flashes.

I have poured my fragile heart into believing in Sharpe and it’s tough watching him struggle lately. He’s not drawing fouls for as much as he tries to get in the lane and he’s not shooting it well right now. I hope he figures it out.

 

Yes! Run flex!

 

I've been saying for a while that Chauncey at least needs to learn the Terry Stotts weave!

 

Shae will bounce back. Since the thumb brace he hasn’t been the same imho

 

I see that...
But I really don't think the issue is DA being 'lazy'. There are bigger issues at play there.

 

Just the lack of chemistry?

 

undisclosed thumb fracture? He played 2 months last year with a broken ring finger. Sharpe needs to start hitting that Toradol hard.
