Jack short on almost all of his 3's.  Needs to take his time and get his feet set.  Bad shots all day.

Maybe not commenting on basketball at all was a problem.
Javi can come back in. Maceo trying hard, scrapping even with shot not falling.
Jamison should keep shooting, can come away with more 3 pointers. Hot this half.

Most fans will simply leave the site, they aren't interested in reading a never ending barrage of "suffering" complaints on every thread.

 

I think there' s a difference between unreasonable complaints and valid criticism of the execution of the team.  More likely than not we were going to lose this game.  SC is a bigger team all around and coached by one of the top coaches in the country.  We are a very young team missing our best player.   Complaining we are not winning is probably a bit unreasonable.

I think it's valid to be upset that our execution on offense has been bad and that we're forcing too many shots that are simply not there.  We also seem to feel it unnecessary to run any other defense other than man-to-man, which is a difficult ask of our "bigs" having to match up against guys 1-2"  taller and 40 lbs heavier than them.

When someone is having a game as bad as Jack, it is time for the coach to just pull him and let him know that he will get them next time. But when you are 0-11 from the field, you should not be on the Court.

Dude...if you disagree with something I post, then simply say why you disagree.  Otherwise, as I suggested earlier, don't respond to my complaining and I won't respond to your cheerleading.

Jair seems to have added 15 lbs of muscle during his time at SC.
3 would be great here. Still could use Javi underneath

With Toro in the game and Jack having any type or reasonable game, this would have been a much more competitive game.

May have used more Mezzie, Free.    At least we would have had some more bulk to offset their large rebounding edge, or even better defend Kotsar, who shot 8-9 from field.

Didn't look like Mezie was on the bench for most of the 2nd half. Didn't see it, but assume he got hurt.

Our offense would have ground to a halt.  We stayed in the game by having 5 perimeter guys, spreading them out, running ball screens, and getting open 3s (or Potter going to the rim when there were no defenders back).  You can’t do that with mezzie because they play off him.

Just needed a couple more shots to fall from maceo but i am pleased with this game overall. 

We are improving.  Didn’t think Potter would be the answer but we are definitely playing better on offense with him at the point and JNJ off ball.   Getting Toro and Harris back will help a lot too.
