Message: [QUOTE="JB75, post: 3339532, member: 8938"] I 10000% agree that AGs 5 straight drives to the hole in ot were maddening but he is easily 3rd on the totem pole to blame for last night. CV was awful as was Carlton. At least Gilbert played good d, made all his free throws and had some nice drives and dishes. He played well in first half. From his standpoint he probably feels like besides JB no one else can really score and he knows he can get past his man whenever he wants so he figures why not take it to the hole and try to finish and draw foul(or dish out). It’s worked his whole life. Not excusing it but just offering some logic on why he keeps doing this. Cud u imagine if he was just playing within himself ? We’d be undefeated and wud of beaten Xavier by 10-12. I’m telling u, u don’t want to see Badams at point. He cannot distribute like AG or blow by his man. AG just has to stop driving and getting caught up. This can be fixed. It’s maddening but can be fixed. He’s the most important part of this season. We need to get him right. And by right I don’t even mean hitting his jumpers I just mean playing under control - and for the first 17 minutes of the first half he was doing just that. Now don’t even get me started on Carlton and vital. [/QUOTE]
