okay Posted February 8 Posted February 8 I liked our team when Max Pikaar is out there to play the center instead of Robbie. There was some great moments out of that yesterday and it took some of the pressure when Robbie is dealing with what he has. Maybe even having Brockhoff and Robbie or Pikaar and Robbie lineups would shake things up Quote

slu72 Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Max was a breath of fresh air especially on that one dunk where he took it down the lane. Forceful! Fun to watch. Quote

VeniceMenace Posted February 9 Posted February 9 14 hours ago, billiken_roy said: yes. he had the one team that played havoc like defense and he would sub in five players at a time the entire game 5 in 5 out. Those five players were dubbed “The Posse” & it was all-you-can-eat cheese fries for the fans! Quote

I think hockey started it. Tell us what the injury is. If it’s his ankle say it’s his ankle. CenHudDude, billiken_roy, thunderdan and 1 other 4 Quote

In this case, we already know what it is. Hell, they showed the trainer putting 15 miles of tape on it. Quote

Yes and I think he had a presence with those 3s when he was flying out there. I don’t think they made any from the corners or low wings, most of their 2nd half 3s seemed to be from the top of the key. Quote

I did say that defending the 3 was one of our strong points. Coming into the St. J game we had an A in 3P defense....24th in the nation....better than 340 other D1 teams. There was a problem with 3s but it wasn't 3P defense. It was that we shot only 20% from the arc AND we gave them too many chances. ...ie twice as many shots...31 to our 15. ..caused by too many TOs and rebounds....but not caused by poor 3 defense. If you cut the St. J 3P stats in half but use the same shooting %...5.5/15.5=35.5% plus add 2.5 more 3PM made to bring The Bills up to a normal shooting night on 3s...5.5/ 15= 36.7%. ..(note these numbers are similar to the numbers I use in the target slash) you have a swing of 8 three pt shots or a difference of 24 pts ...ie we win the game easy. To use a baseball analogy...If you are batting 200 (20%) as a team you aren't going to win many games. Likewise, if you are going to give the other team 6 strikes on every at bat ( twice as many chances) you again will not have many wins. If you are batting (shooting) poorly or you are giving the other team twice as many chances (strikes or 3PA) it doesn't matter what kind of defense you are playing...it is too much to overcome. Shoot better from the arc + cut down on the other teams possessions (reduce TOs and opp rebs)= more wins CenHudDude 1 Quote
slu72 Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Stupid TOs and boards. So says Captain Obvious. I wouldn’t be pushing Gibby to return until he’s ready. Quote
