Gottdweeb told MJ we are playing too slow

Said we have too much talent to be playing this slowly. He also said we did get hosed by some calls today.

Gottlieb was one of the many 'experts' who said UK should stop platooning. He should be happy.

Re: Gottdweeb told MJ we are playing too slow

He is right. Get it up court. I watched Wall last night push the ball on the Bulls and I miss that. Andrew can do that and the rest of our guards can too. Not as fast as Wall of course but faster than what we are now.

No we intentionally play slow. What happened to WCS on opponent guards? That what was nightmare for opposing teams.

CBS' Doug Gottlieb just called in to the Post-Game Show

Yes, that Doug Gottlieb

Terrible calls from the refs, went against UK, was always the bald white guy doing it over and over..."They were bad, they were awful calls"

Cats are playing too slow, if you have the best players (which UK does) you want to speed up the tempo

Cats need to be throwing the ball full-length of the court on defensive rebounds to streaking guards

Twins seem like they try to hard when they are in Texas

Booker needs to get the ball because he is hot, hot, hot

They aren't playing well, but they are still winning

Our bigs play too slow. They dribble, bring the ball down low, and generally take a while to get their shot up.

Re: Gottdweeb told MJ we are playing too slow

I agree. I thought the main purpose of having a deep team was wear the opposing team down. I thought earlier in the year, we were wearing the teams down with our platoon system. I liked the way we were playing much better when using the platoon.

Re: Gottdweeb told MJ we are playing too slow

We are .remember during preseason he had the 10 second rule to get. A shot off. Cal also said our point guards would not walk the ball up the court ,

Re: Gottdweeb told MJ we are playing too slow

Our average length of possession is 16.6 seconds. That's 42nd in the nation.

Our average length of possession is 19.7 seconds. That's 337th in the nation.

It's not US that's playing slowed down. It's our opponent and there's not a whole lot that can be done about that.

Re: Gottdweeb told MJ we are playing too slow

He's right.

I know Cal is untouchable around here, but they're just not coached properly yet on how to attack a zone defense. You can still drive to the rim and throw in inside against a zone, you just have to know how and when to do it. There's no way a team this talented should need 2 OT's to reach 70 points.

Re: CBS' Doug Gottlieb just called in to the Post-Game Show


We have exactly one lob dunk in our first 2 SEC games.

Cal's tweak is having our guards drive more to the rim. Honestly, the only thing worse than Archie driving to the rim are the Harrisons. Neither can finish.

No mid range shots, not solid post up efforts, no lobs. I hate this offense.

But we are winning.

You're basically admitting we're letting other teams dictate the pace. That's our fault.

Sprint down the court, post up quicker. Drive the ball to the lane, pull up and shoot or throw it up high for the lob or down low to the bigs. Enough dribbling around the perimeter for 20 seconds.

To make it worse Archie couldn't shoot free throws.

Drew should be working on the runner or pull up from the sec logo in the lane all day everyday until it is his go to shot. Then the defense will have to respect it. After that it will be lexington lob city again.

When we are on offense, we are one of the fastest teams in the nation.

Unless we are forcing a ton of turnovers on defense effectively ending other teams possessions before they want to, there's not much else we can do on defense. If a team wants to hold the ball for 35 seconds, they can.

All of the things u just posted has to do with offense. What do you want them to do on defense to speed teams up?

Re: Gottdweeb told MJ we are playing too slow

I see where the error is

First number is on OFFENSE, second on DEFENSE.

That's what I get for typing information too fast.
