Scoot’s mid game seems off tonight

Scoot doesn’t have it tonight.

Sharpe should get more minutes he looks like he might be feeling good tonight

 

[LayneStaley]

Yeah THAT is what you got out of my post. You’re right he isn’t a great player. Will Purdue won 27 playoffs series……

Greatness and potential greatness are two very different things homie. How was halftime? Wemby looks more relaxed for sure.

He's embarrassed of that tech last game and turned back into a pumpkin.

 

[Idog1976]

Fire the Ipad guys they are horrific! We miss easy overturns and zi think have lost every challenge.

 

[PCmor7]

We better win this game. If I'm going to be subjected to Doris Burke, we at least better win.

 

[Cugel]

This team is still a fucking joke.

 

[LayneStaley]

Toms seat looked empty in that replay.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Foul with a knee? lol

 

[LayneStaley]

Perfect! Grant iso ball time.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Who has hexed us

 

[Cugel]

Well they lost a 17 pt lead in the blink of an eye. Just awful basketball. Just get the season over with already.

 

[MrDraftGuy]

As I said last time regarding the previous game's 3rd quarter, if your shot isn't falling, you can't just run-and-gun your way away from the Spurs four guard rotation. You're literally just feeding the Spurs with possessions.

Naturally, the lead has dwindled to nothing now.

Knowing when to slow down and play a half-court style against a team like the Spurs is vital.

Also, if no one is making their shots (around the time you lose a double digit lead), it may be time to put in whoever was popping off in the 6th man role. Sharpe or Grant, for example. The starters do not generate enough offense, on their own.

By the time Tiago has adjusted to this by doing exactly what I just said? The lead became 1-2 possessions from a tie.

Now that the lead is gone, you're just rewarding the Spurs with a slower game so they can play methodically against you.

Bad timing regarding substitutions and pace adjustment, overall.

how many *Third Year* (i counted wrong) unanimous DPOY do you know...? the man legit alters the game just being in there, were being forced to shoot shit threes because of him. Maybe Greatness isnt the word to use but not respecting his ability and change he is on the game is pretty fucked regardless of whos team hes on.

 

[LayneStaley]

lol that’s a foul

 

[LayneStaley]

how many sophmore unanimous DPOY do you know...? the man legit alters the game just being in there, were being forced to shoot shit threes because of him. Maybe Greatness isnt the word to use but not respecting his ability and change he is on the game is pretty fucked regardless of whos team hes on.

You’re right, greatness isn’t the word.

 

[Sedatedfork]

That is just a lack of Trying to box out

 

[ehizzy3]

Scoot doesn’t have it tonight.

Sharpe should get more minutes he looks like he might be feeling good tonight

Nvm sharpe barely looks bothered to play defense

 

[Irish Trader]

Mikey’s sphincters starting to tighten up after three quarters

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Relax, we got this.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

If we start out this 4th as shitty as the 3rd, stick a fork in this game, we're done. 3-1.

 

[LayneStaley]

We can’t shoot, same problem all year.

 

[Hoopguru]

Perfect! Grant iso ball time.

Not just Grant but Deni and Jrue somone got to score.

 

[Irish Trader]

We better win this game. If I'm going to be subjected to Doris Burke, we at least better win.

Absolutely

 

[PCmor7]

This. Just not mentally tough enough, at least at this point in his career.

 

[PCmor7]

This team is about as mentally tough as a wet paper towel. I swear, two straight games they get big leads and the other team makes the run and instead of being disciplined and slowing it down a bit to break momentum and trying to get to the line, they fire up crazier and crazier shots, mostly 3s.

We need to acquire common sense in the offseason.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Scoot literally hasn’t done shit since talking mess to Harper

 

[LayneStaley]

Scoot throwing bullet bounce passes to Clingan lol

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

terrible pass by Scoot

 

[2Fluffy4U]

Does Tiago know he can substitue players?
