8 Year Olds

[TheBestAvailable]

Is it just me or does everyone else feel like they're watching a bunch of 8 year olds when you watch our team play.

It seems like they're touching the basketball for the very first time. Every time they shoot I find myself hoping reaaaally hard that the ball makes it to the rim.

Where is Doh getting these guys? I could go to almost any rec. center and find better players 14-48 age wise.

I thought this was going to be another thread about the general's kids and chocolate chip cookies.

No, but this thread is almost as absurd.

Hope McCoy don't see this. Far too much of a generalization to have any merit. Shooting against one of the best defensive teams in the nation on their home court is not an easy thing to do. Ask Tulsa.

Sure we could shoot the ball better, but we have our moments, I remember that game when we shot 75 percent in the second half. It depends on so many factors, level of competition being the most relevant.

I think we should try practicing with a ball covered in vaseline. When they learn to catch that one, stopping the turnovers with a regular ball will be easy.

Memphis brought their A game on defense just to remind us what they could really do. We can't replicate that type of speed and length - Ryan Harp guards McCoy or Williams at practice for goodness sakes so when we see it in a game, we can't adjust to it. Faye looked like he had never played basketball. That's also why you watched poor Williams and McCoy trying to beat the press with the rest of their teammates just standing and watching - and praying they didn't get the ball passed to them...............

So, until Doh can recruit a fast and long group of players who can play at that speed, we are going to suck when we get confronted with it........

What did [deleted] me off is Memphis adjusted to our inbounds play after the first 5 minutes of the game and Doh never changed or if he did, his other players didn't want the ball so they just stood there instead of running the inbounds..........
