I think Phil's problem is that he doesn't have great hands and he doesn't always know where he is in relation to the basket, which affects his finishing ability.

Very similar to Hilton Armstrong pre-senior year as far as that goes.
 
Sounds like we had lack of chemistry issues. Turnovers should go down. I hope they hit their free throws like last years team.Purvis playing subpar scares me a little,hopefully it was just nervousness.

If DHam can rebound the way he did vs larger opponents the majority of your line ups will mostly include Sam Jr with the 2 guards and Amida........Kentan has a ways to go. Against a real good PF and C it may change to Phil and AB but early signs say we will need offense so 3 guards will be a big part of this years team.

Missed the game - I really could use a super long post from the champs99 guy (can never remember his handle).
Box score questions:g

Facey had 9 boards in 18 minutes. Was he that kick butt?
Brimah had a lot of fouls. Ticky tack? Correctable?
It's going to be tough getting used to human free throw shooting numbers.
DHam was 2 of 7 from field, otherwise had very nice numbers. Don't really care about makes/misses, but please tell me - was his shot selection good?
Did we press at all?
Did we push the break much?
How did Rock look in the few minutes he played? His rebounding rate was even better than Facey.

poster is @champs99and04

First half Brimah was Brimah from most of last season. Second half Brimah was the Brimah in the UCF game last season.

Facey and Lubin can rebound. Facey improved significantly on defense from last season but still lost on offense. Should improve as he gets more game minutes. PN plays decent defense. Still struggling on offense. Lubin still learning.

Man to man d was great all game except covering perimeter players. Tightened up somewhat in second half. Minimal fast break, but pushed the ball up court faster than last season. Most likely the result of the 30 second clock.

DHam is super smooth. SCJ is smooth. Boat can take over a game but needs to do so sporadically. TSam showed great movement to basket. Got beat once on defense. Purvis struggled more than most of us anticipated. That's what happens when it's 18 monte between playing in real games. We should know 6-10 games in if he can get his game back.

To me chemistry issues implies guys don't get along with one another vs. poor play by a team in which the players are either still learning to play with one another or are missing a component to the team which undermines teams overall efficiency.

I felt the team had plenty of good looks and just had poor shooting night. Hopefully this will be the exception as opposed to the rule. There were plenty of decent drives to the basket by the guards setting up the bigs, but the bigs failed to complete. DHam has a great mid game and ability to get to basket. He should have been 6-7 instead of 2-7.

It's one thing to be good in practice. You know your team mates moves and adjust accordingly. Playing against totally knew players can be unsettling for someone who hasn't played against organized comp in 18 or so months. Who knows how long Purvis will take to regain his bb composure.
 
Was anyone else getting really frustrated with the CONSTANT foul calls? It never ended and made the game so choppy. On top of the turnovers, the game seemed to never get into a groove. It was just really hard to watch. Refs should have just let them play.

18 months is meaningless to real playa with multiskills of elite level

ever see a fossil hop on bike after 50yr tardy and wheeleee-you is what you is

what you are over analyzing is 18 months for dude with limited game

gets dee brain ons

Ok, this post has me convinced Chap's whole illiteracy schtick is a charade that is getting old quick. When he wants to make a point, his sentenses start out clear and make a somewhat coherent thought, then once he has made his point and his post is coming to an end he starts throwing in erroneous letters and abbreviations that make no sense to, "chap it up" as they say.

Thanks, usually people want shorter posts from me lol. I didn't see the game last night, believe it or not, so I'm just as in the dark as anybody else. Thankfully @tcf15 has the game up now, so maybe I'll use some game footage in the preview I'll be putting out next week.

Disappointing. I had much higher expectations for the bongo cam....

It takes time to get to know each others habits. When you have a high turnover mark early on its usually chemistry/getting familiar w each other problems not guys don't like each other.
 
If we are using the same foul shot drill from last year FT shorting will improve as the year goes on. My big take was just seeing guys play who we haven't really laid eyes on and there wasn't enough to jump to any conclusions obviously except Hamilton can play and we knew that. But I am going to throttle back early expectations with so much shooting lost from last year. Young team of racehorses.

Add Sam Jr to the "can play" list even most of missed were spot on. He's creative, as is DHam, and will be able to score and put pressure on others teams defenses. The fact they can throw a team at times with those 2 and Boat and/or Purvis, 3 solid ball handlers makes a big difference. It was rare we could do that the last couple of years to take the pressure off of Bazz and Boat - Giff, DD and LK were all one or dribble guys.
 
Yeah it was great to see how comfortable DHam looked handling the ball and working on that pick and roll with Brimah. That duo can be very effective this year.
