Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

I know we take too many 3's but we usually make at least a few. What in the world guys.

Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

we had a few opportunities to get back in the game with big 3 balls but they just were not falling…….

Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

I know Milwaukee is playing off a bit but this driving and penetration is what our game plan should've been. They can't hardly defend Wes and Deon on the drives without fouling

Boyz, we might be in for a very long season.

5-23 from 3, 16-39 inside the arc. Haven't been shooting many threes and definitely not making any tonight. If we don't make them, it takes a ton out of our offense.

And basketball was supposed to be my pick-me-up after football season. It's "still early" but ugh...not looking promising

Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

Going to be tough for us to win when we only get 9 points from Tuttle and Bohannon.

I said this around this time last year, and its just as true this year---If Bohannon cannot knock down threes, he is an utterly useless player for us and he cannot be on the floor.

He is pretty much terrible on defense due to his lack of athleticism, which is something you can work around and accept if he is a dangerous threat from the 3 pt line. But right now he he is missing everything and even tossing up airballs.

Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

That was really awful to watch.

Up 11 and cruising. Then totally lost any offensive execution, terrible shooting and shot selection, and simultaneously lost all defensive intensity.

Not a good effort fellas. Takes more than that at this level.

Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

Jake once said Bohannon is the best 3-pt shooter he's ever coached.

Maybe Matt is the type of player who excels at practice, but can't shake off the nerves under the lights.

Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

Milwaukee beat us by 22 points (!!!!!!!!) in the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half.

Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

I'm usually pretty positive, but there are some real concerns with this team. It's almost like the new rules have completely psyched out the staff. There isn't the edge and the toughness there used to be.

Play defense the way you always have. They aren't going to call them all.

Offensively, i don't understand the desire to want to play fast so badly. We aren't working to get good shots.

Have to agree. MattBo gets a LOT of floor time. He's got to be more productive to justify those minutes.

Either you can make them in live game action or you can't. A lot of guys could go out there and shoot 25% from behind the arc. That ain't enough.

Re: Up Next: Milwaukee

Anybody else get the feeling we're one of those teams that can beat anybody, but are also perfectly capable of losing to anybody?

For me, this was a disaster in the making right from the start. From the opening press conf on media day Jake alluded to the idea that we were going to run more this year and play faster to get more transition buckets because that's what our personnel lent itself toward.

And then, the day after our 2nd exhibition Jake comes out and says something to the effect of "these next few days (before our first game) is when our staff/players have to decide how we are going to play this year"....What??? A few days before we are playing real games, and we have no idea what style of basketball we are going to play?

This is kind of an identity crisis type thing IMO. Are we going to run or are we going to play D? Apparently we can't have both as indicated by how bad our D has been thus far. Jake and the staff went too far away from their bread and butter if you ask me and they are a little lost right now.

We've been that kind of team for the last 10 years
