He went 0/9 from 3 for the last two games. Do you expect him to be happy about it? Let’s just see how he reacts when he gets the 4 missing 3s back. 3star_recruit likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it too Roy. After the game the wife and I walk down to the top of the tunnel and cheer the team off the floor. Hargrove normally high fives fans and celebrates this time his head was down and just walked through. TJ had a bad game and his shot has gotten worse in recent games. He is missing free throws too. TJ has a good support system with his team they will pick him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Is TJ a hard worker - extra gym work is what I mean? I don't know so this is why I ask. Practice makes perfect unless you are French with FTs. I understand he may be down but he has to figure out how to get out of his funk. The kid missed two slams also last night which has to weigh on him some also. You have to play your way back on the court so hopefully he will figure it out.

Cowboy II Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 -it would be nice for TJ and Williams to hit some shots as at some point, perhaps Saturday, there will be an even greater focus on stopping GibJim, who is going to score when that happens? I think it will need to be a total team effort -I wonder if Traore was kept on the bench as long as he was because the dance and technical? kid shows a knack -Travis, settle down a bit and be careful with The Hook, tough for kids to play if they are scared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also looked like he was having fun around the time of the dunk he missed, laughing on the bench after words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To Okoro's credit, Ford said a big part of the game plan last night was to feed Okoro in the post, realizing GW was weak inside. Last night, maybe Ford told him to take it to the hoop as often as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Trying to get Williams going was a low risk, high reward situation of late. Two home games. Two PIG possible opponents. Blowouts expected but not totally guaranteed. If ever there was a time to throw Williams out into the sharks, this was it. And he didn't find it. Saturday's game is a possible third opportunity for Rashad. But the times they be a-dwindling. Amazing how WIlliams' shot has just seemed to .... what's the word ..... die. On the Okoro front, and looking at Geedbuya, Hunter Dean played 34 minutes and contributed zero points with 4 fouls. Now, he did get 10 rebounds. Which makes me wonder even more how Hargrove didn't get a one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier he would have forced those drives for shots but last night he seemed to be content with making the play by passing the ball off.

RiseOfTheBillikens Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I hope he keeps playing Rashad. Can never have too many scorers. Shouldn't give up on a shooter cause he had a few bad games. Unfortunately in basketball nobody ever makes every shot they take, or at least none that I know of. As long as he isnt getting abused on the defensive end keep giving him minutes. He'll find it and when he does he's another scorer to take pressure off Gibson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a 40% 3P shooter the last two seasons before the last week or so, now some posters want to give up on him. Yikes! I know this board has its ebbs and flows but this is a new record edit: I was defending TJ when Roy was speaking about Williams. Not trying to defend Williams. Just took Roy’s post the wrong way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 maybe his previous stops were a step behind our level of play? its no secret we had a tough non conference schedule. i.e. good teams. and the A10 is definitely a better conference than those he was at before. i see him on the floor and honestly he doesnt even run the floor like a player at our level let alone his make percentage. yep, i've given up on him. love for him to prove me wrong and become a true gibson sidekick but i aint holding out hope.
