Pretty sloppy. Took us a while to get used to their offensive aggressiveness and I think we got caught up in all their chirping.

Just need to play a bit better one on one defense so we don't have to help off so much and dissect their poor defense on the other end.

10-16 from the charity stripe, seemed worse to me I guess

 

[Beyerball]

This team is still figuring out who they are as an identity with our new coach. We've played pretty sloppy at times and all missed threes by them they seem to rebound. I'm more interested in watching how this team defends right now and an offensive rythym with Niang than anything.

 

[lttrevor]

Anyone know how many boards he has tonight

9 I think

 

[clonedude]

We were holding for the last shot of the half, so Niang launches a 3 with 8 secs left? C'mon Georges, you're smarter than that.

It does look to me like Prohm is just letting the guys do basically whatever they want. That's ok in games like this I guess, but hopefully the guys will listen when he does need to coach them up and actually have us run something instead of just playing street ball.

Why isn't Niang going to work on the inside against these losers? Isn't he 1st team All American? Time to go to work Georges.

Also, how many ESPN highlight dunks would Burton have in this game if he were playing? It would be scary.

Even Hoiberg coached teams took 10 games to find its identity. People need to calm the **** down. We will be alright.

4 turnovers for Nader too, dude really needs to tighten up his handle

That was annoying too.

Your point is completely invalid in this instance when you have the starting lineup we do...Prohm was supposed to come in and help defensively as well as maintaining the offensive flow.

This team is going to struggle when Monte is resting. I just don't have any confidence in Naz running the point. Hopefully Monte can play 35+ minutes a night.

Either Georges can do it again or I think Matt Thomas might be better at it than Naz. However, Matt is usually the only guard that tries to get rebounds.

Yeah, that's not going to cut it. He thinks he can dribble it through double teams, but he can't. Needs to value the ball a lot more.

Way, way off topic question: Does anyone know where Cornell Mann ended up?

The MO of this team the last several years is they let teams stay in the game way too long - I don't think it is the coach it is the players. Why they don't want to come out execute on offense and smother these teams from the get go is a mystery to me.

They do not want the backups to play.

McKat going for the Triple Double

 

[baagoe]

Great start.

 

[Die4Cy]

Took their halftime coaching on defense, I see!:smile:

 

[Cynonymous]

Nice start for the 2nd half. Keep this mo going.

Matt and Cooke are the best options for backup to Monte. Cooke has arguably more experience.

 

[UraMallas]

McKat going for the Triple Double

Almost there:

18 points, 9 rebounds, 8 dunks.
