Game Thread: Bama vs ga
- Thread starter carder24
- Start date
Bama finally gets an offensive rebound but fight with each other over the ball and lost it. Nothing going right.
Talent is there, youth is there, I’m not smart enough to comment on the coaching - though usually optimistic.
I am concerned whether now that we have the talent, and for the most part a complete team in all positions, how the results we’ve shown in (gulp) several losses now impact us long term if at all...we have to step it up somewhere for sure

This. Tired of seeing us run offenses that don't match our personnel, defenses that actually help the other team emphasize their strengths, make bad substitutions, and fail to improve over the course of the season. Other teams call timeouts and call set plays, confident they'll get a good look. I'm most confident when our guys don't run our sets and just improvise.
Missed the first half. Wish I missed the second. That was rough and ugly.

Love Sexton and our young talent, but Avery hasn't brought them together just yet.
Sexton, as good as he is, doesn't set up his teammates like he should. He tries to do too much with his dribble when he needs to take the short range jumper or 3 more often.
And we are not going to beat many folks if we don't develop a decent inside post game. Trying to do it all with Sexton driving into the lane with the trees or with outside jumpers. Only way you win like that is at home and when the shots are falling.

I think you highlight the problem with the coaching. We haven't recruited or developed a competent inside scorer under Avery, and I don't see that changing. Avery knows the PG position, but I'm not sure he has the ability or anyone on his staff that can adequately coach that position (All played PG, SG, or SF). I don't blame Sexton for being aggressive. This is a Ben Simmons at LSU situation.
So so disappointed in our effort. At this point, we are not a tourney team. This team is not playing hard. Sometimes you don't win, but our fundamentals are not there. Simple block outs, careless turnovers, and poor shot selection. We have good inside players, it we don't get it inside.
"We were not confident, offensively." Can't argue with that one, either, Coach.
I seem to recall we obliterated this team, last year, and it was pretty much the same team that we played today. Something is not right, for us to have regressed this far.
I am starting to remember the short tenure CAJ had for the Mavericks. I hope this doesn't follow the same pattern.

I don't know how this is happening. Way too talented for all this to be going on.
Only 11 shot attempts between Hall, Giddens and Smith which isn't good but then they only scored on 3 (Hall 3-6). The team needs some production from these positions.
Of course, shooting from everywhere on the court was pretty bad as well. (hit 29.8% FG with 17.4% on 3's)

I could not keep watching it. I am as puzzled as many of you are. We have to play more D. We won and were in games last year with our defense even though we were challenged scoring. We are at a point where this team could go one way or the other and I'm now leaning toward a bad outcome.
We haven't developed an inside scorer since the Gottfried days. J. Green was more of an all-around spot up shooter/cutter. The last guy we had who could confidently score with his back to the basket down low was Hendrix and Chuck Davis maybe even more effectively before him. I was hoping bringing Pelphrey in would change that, but nada so far.
