We can?t shoot and have no inside game. I wondered how you can have a basketball team that can?t shoot. They can?t make layups! And we have no inside game. Do we have no inside game because people six feet nine inches tall can?t put the ball through the hoop or are they being not given the chance. You, me, and my wife can see that we can?t shoot. But we jack up three pointers that don?t even hit backboards. Is Golding coaching that? Can he not help it. That?s the players he has so that?s the players taking the shots. Bieniemy and Kennedy should not be allowed to shoot a three pointer. At all.
The Bear used to say you can?t teach seven feet or something like that. He used to sit Greg Foster for wanting to play guard. He?d say that guards were a dime a dozen but seven feet? When you can?t make you shots get closer. When you are so close that you are shooting layups and missing them get closer! Have big men shove it through the damned hoop!
While you are at it, figure out how you got a basketball team that can?t shoot. That needs to be the first thing you do. Figure out how it is that we have a team that can?t shoot. Because however we managed to do that we don?t want to do it again.
Stats from the game;
31.1% 13.0% fg% and 3pt fg% If you shoot 13%from 3 point range how many games does it take to adjust to the fact that you can't shoot and try to get to the hoop to get close enough to make your shots. I mean this is third grade basketball. If you were playing bb with your friends and shot 13% from 3 point range your friends would tell you(if they even had to)hey asshole, stop shooting from there. But, we have a coach for that. Golding has to do something. Somehow, some way, he has to figure out how to run an offense that doesn't involve shooting three pointers until he finds someone that can shoot. I'm trying to figure out how our players got here. Not trying to be shitty about this, but can someone tell me why we have players that seem not to be able to play basketball. I mean basketball is pretty simple. Put ball in hoop and keep the other guy from doing it. Name the player and tell me if he does either well. You wouldn't think it would be hard to do. But try it. Take away Boum. Go down the roster and see if you can name the players that can do both-put the ball in the hoop and keep the other guy from doing it. Does anyone else think it is strange that we "can't shoot"?
Our whole game is based on making it really hard for the opponent to get an easy shot. The enemy doesn't have to even worry about that. We can't make layups. We make easy shots hard all on our own. AND we don't like layups anyways! THEN we look for the harder shots to take! Run out to shoot a three you have no prayer of hitting! Golding draws up defenses while the opponent's coach says get out of their way and let them run out past the arc to throw up a brick, and one of you run down under our hoop for a long pass and a layup after we get the rebound.
