Doesn't matter how bad he missed the last one, GK is always ready to shoot the next one. It'll drive you bonkers at times but it's the right approach for a shooter.

Probably minority but not surprised that “losing Jaz” was not a catastrophic deal. I found CW’s claim a few weeks ago that we as fans weren’t worried enough about losing Jaz pretty odd. Jaz is a wonderful Cyclone and has to be a nightmare for other teams because of his smarts and effort. But he wasn’t crazy effective this year, has very little post-game, with not much bulk (which limited him last year guarding the bigger bigs in conference), and getting Tre King is the biggest boost we’ve had in years mid season. I think we’ll keep rolling, and this should allow Jaz the ability to slowly work his way back without rushing.
I don’t know if it was what you call a “ninja” kick like one poster alluded to. That seems embellished a bit. But he did put his leg into the defender.
Agreed we will need Jaz and he'll still win a game or two for us yet but he was just playing too much and didn't fit what we need from a 4. I'm looking forward to him being a small 5 for a few minutes and Tre being at 4 so we just open up the entire court.
It really sucks that's the case. I thought he made a step forward too.
He needs to practice his free throws in a montage.
Yep, I've seen that called many times lately, because it is a point of emphasis.
alright, this eggplant is lasting more than 4 hours.....
Okay, I see this is getting dumbed. When you leave your feet and fly by the shooter you take yourself out of the defense and the result is leaving your team in a 5 on 4 situation. My high school coach would go ballistic when we did that. Most outside shots have little chance of actually being blocked, unless it is a severe mismatch like a 6'7 defender on 6'2 guy. You are better off staying in front of the shooter, getting a hand in his face and putting yourself in position to box out the shooter in case he tries to follow his shot.
I love how TJ can flip from stoic coach, praise the effort, etc. to 'Let's GO!' mode in a mili-second.
This team the last 2 years is like when the scrappy band of kids from the sandlot movie beat the kids that had fancy bikes and real uniforms.
And perhaps depending on line ups Jaz can have less to do and lean on his strengths to compliment everything else when he gets back.
You think they're chewing on chewing tobacco right now?
Kyle Green makes and breaks bigs on the daily.
Yep, you’ll miss every **** you don’t take!
Love these types of videos! Definitely shows a candid moment of the team enjoying a win.
But my bigger takeaway is how indicative it is of the culture TJ has built. You got guys that haven’t played hardly at all celebrating just as hard as the starters. And TJ highlighting Gabe’s day in and day out effort as much or more than this moment that resulted in a win.
So cool! And that man TJ can coach! He is a leader of men and it shows on the recruiting trail too. Anything he may lack (not saying he does!) when it comes to Xs and Os, he makes up for with the way he leads.
