The offensive motion looks much better because NC Central can't play up in our grill. This team isn't tough and doesn't have a ball handler that can handle the ball well with aggressive on ball defense. We back away and end up shooting 25 ft 3 pointers.

Quaintance had a block % of 9.8 last season on 2.6 blocks. 2.6 blocks would rank him in the top 15 so far this season.

Just saying Garrison is one of the major problems in this team. In several ways. Have no idea why Mark continues with him. I’d send him packing off the team but to the bench if nothing else.
Send him to the bench until he proves he wants to play hard and act like he’s 6’10”. Guard someone and especially the rim. Block out, stop making bone head turnovers on moves you can’t make. If you do hustle back.

The overall energy and intensity was better. Considering the competition though, we still have to get a lot better. I like Pope’s lineups so far. Loved it when he told BG to “go sit down”, he showed some intensity and who’s the boss! IMO

Is Garrison THE problem? Do the guys just hate playing with him? I doubt it's the only problem, but does it all start with him? Does Oweh's piss poor effort stem from the fact he sees Garrison giving nothing?
I honestly think so, I’ve noticed Oweh giving no effort when certain guys are on the court. A lot stems from stupid turnovers and missed assignments. He’s just like WTf I can’t do it alone so why try.

It would be so much easier to fire another coach if we didn’t want him. I think everybody likes Pope and wants him to succeed. That’s what makes me feel sorry for him in a way. Idc how much money he makes.
Everyone on here wants him to succeed I guarantee that. It’s just gotten bad. It all starts with him and the staff though.

BG has never lived up to the McDonalds AA hype. He’s gone after this year with Potter & Moreno next year.
I agree with playing JJ & MM & Jelly now as much as possible.
Trent Noah had great half too. Chandler & Kam were ghosts.
