One thing I want to see tonight

[mauconnfan]

Okay so being able to guard your guy half court from the hash in is what makes you as a one-on-one defender I get that. But what also makes you the best defender you can be is brains, and knowing your opponent. Isaiah Taylor is a 30% 3point shooter who uses his ability to fly by people and make things happen. He is also a 44% shooter overall so reality tells me he's not really efficient despite how talented he is. So in this case I would prefer our defenders to allow him good space so they can cut off his line to the lane, sluff off this guy give him the shot from deep and make him beat us there. Don't allow this dragon to use the fire he desires to beat us with, make him brick it up a little. It really doesn't make you a man to defend the guy from the half court or hash when you know he's faster than you, instead let's give him his space tonight and not go out there to guard him. If he's blowing by people then we have to help and then guys like Felix are open because their man left him. Stay AWAY.

So that, and a W is all I want for tonight.

I agree Mau, but I thought I might see something not appropriate for the youngsters when I opened this post.

Go out and compete on D for 40 minutes and you won't hear any complaints from me.

Came here to say this... as long as I see a consistent effort for 40 mins on both ends, I'll be happy. We've struggled playing good basketball for sustained periods of time.

Florida St/Fla will end after 9 so get ESPNews ready on your remote.

Seminoles are talented and I like Leonard but he's pretty much the reason they won't be great. Good guy, good coach but limited.
