Everyone needs to take a DEEEEEP breath, and hold it

[TerryBoyz]

Take a deep breath and hold it is great advice. I feel much better now.

A scheme or system, only gets you so far.

The players have to put the ball in the basket, cover or switch onto their man, and have court vision to make the right pass at the right time, to a player on their own team.

Talent and BBIQ matter.

Yeah Liam was considered by a lot of guys to be the best shooter in his class, and we had Karaban coming back. Mahaney was supposed to be able to bring some ball handling and ability to score off the dribble. Obviously he hasn’t been great so far, but I don’t think the thought process was totally off-base.

Nothing about the thought process was off base, it just hasn’t worked yet. Maybe it will, maybe it won’t, but it’s incomplete right now.

It was almost universally lauded and agreed upon, so it’s funny everyone talking about the “mistake” that was made after a bad start.

Agreed. We lost a lot of talent and those pieces fit well together. We also know a Coach that just won two successive Nattys hasn't forgotten how to run a team. The question in a year of transition and rebuild is can you adjust your vision, re-evaluate and encourage input from the rest of the staff. That's needed right now because a bunch of "yes-men" aren't going to help DH move forward. Our inside game isn't going to be the same without Clingan regardless of what we do. But some adjustments up top obviously need to be considered to get the most out of the 4 or 5 guys that haven't contributed to the level I'm sure they expect from themselves. How we address that is what I'll be looking for.

As long as these kids haven’t had their confidence completely shattered they’ll be OK. This was a huge eye opener for them (Duh, I know). But there were a couple of other very good teams that got blown out during the season before any nets were cut down. Regroup and learn to play defense. They’re going to have to work around the refs this season and unfirtunately that’s on Hurley.

We gotta take the bad with the good. There will be plenty of good. It’s the thrill of the chase.
