Jesus what an awful pass by Adams

Why "Jesus"?????

 

[imno1]

Jalen can score but he doesn’t do anything else. His defense and passing is just plain lazy.

 

[jibsey]

This my froends is what we are. Against a so so Syracuse team.

 

[Kitaman]

Like, the worst pass of the season. That bad. I can't believe I saw that happen. .

Its obvious he's exhausted, causing bad decisions and bad play.

 

[k-walk]

Adams is such a beta

 

[CL82]

These are the kind of games that Jalen needs to take over. Disappointing game for him.

 

[Mr. French]

How do our guards think these passes are open ... especially Adams.

Come on. Then we give up an O Reb and a 3. We got back in the game and had a chance to REALLY make noise down 8, and just keep stumbling into the same "mediocre team" issues.

 

[NielsisGood]

Also his handle is loose.

Nothing to do with his handle. He barely ever takes more than a step or 2 once he gets the ball. You think he's eager to create contact? Lmfao.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Playing harder this half. Still not smart.

 

[John]

I am over Adams. There are no f'in style points on the court, and you aren't that good.

It's been painful to watch. He's like a Marcus Williams that doesn't score or assist.

 

[Purple Stein]

I'm not mad at you personally, but this is the dumbest narrative going around here. It's not his handle, it's the fact that he takes about 3 seconds to decide what to do once he gets the ball and doesn't have the strength or the speed/athleticism to create separation. Dude literally never gets an easy shot.

Because he catches the ball in positions where he's asked to create. He should be catch and shoot -- that's it.

 

[UConnJim]

Adams is not a PG, he is a CG and scorer. We need Gilbert to run the point.

 

[jorge34]

Another game Adams is sleepwalking through

 

[UCDaveD]

Jalen is the laziest player on this team.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

This is what happens when you have a 6’5 guy play major minutes at center against a tall team. No One boxes out and in turn can’t rebound. If anyone could match Vital’s intensity, we’d be right there. Sick of Jalen trying to look so cool out there.

 

[EROCK CONN]

Adams is gassed - he hasn’t sat for more than a minute, he is barely jumping on his shots, is getting lazy which is why he’s making bad decisions.

 

[BringJimBack]

Jalen brought his A game tonight. Hey the good thing is that JA and TL will be back next year.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Diarra just can't score against high-major competition.

Either he gets rejected by taller bigs, or he gets fouled but can't hit FTs.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Why can't we just show up in the first half for once?

 

[Kitaman]

Guys perhaps we win this type of game late next month.

 

[NielsisGood]

how many times does he dribble a ball off his foot or into a defender? at least 3-4 times a game?

Not nearly that much because he's too slow and too soft to even try a move like that. His dribble is basically just for show so he can shift his body weight before he goes up to take that contested J

 

[EBonz30]

Bigs, missed another layup...

 

[zyron]

Oh God, Diarra is shooting FT

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Dirta 0-6 at the line

 

[nomar]

Its obvious he's exhausted, causing bad decisions and bad play.

Yeah.

But still, what exactly did he think he was doing? Let's say that pass threaded the needle - what good would've come from cramming it to a guy in the paint surrounded by 3 defenders?
