Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 4156848, member: 534"] [LIST=1] [*]Akok starting over Whaley. Want to watch Isaiah's play closely -- see how he reacts to losing his starting spot. [*]We should NEVER-EVER pass to Adama outside the 3 point line. The ball stops moving, and nothing good happens. [*]Cole on the break just under 5 minutes in. Everybody in the gym saw the block coming before he even got to the foul line. [*]Great dime by AJ. [*]Horrible blocking call on Adama. See image sequence attached. He was clearly set more than a foot outside the arc, and never moved.[ATTACH type="full"]72331[/ATTACH] [*]Out of character defensive mistake by Whaley at the 5 minute mark. Made up for it immediately with a nice midrange pop at the other end. Then made the same mstake at 3:14. And again, he made up for it immediately at the other end, with a sweet assist to Gaffney for the wide open lay-up. [*]Whaley turnover at 34 seconds. Ugh. Then he goes apeshit on D at the other end to keep them from scoring until we could regain possession. [*]Only 4 foul shots by both teams combined in first half. [*]We're behind on total boards and offensive board at half. Misleading though, because the Hall got 3 offensive boards on their last possession of the half. [*]Lousy start to 2nd half. Sanogo got the ball outside again. Threw up a brick, which led to a layup at the other end. [*]How often does AJ get a defensive board, then turn it over in the back court trying to dribble through a crowd to get down court? His handle just isn't good enough for that stuff. Seems like a couple time a game deal. [*]Those whistles that were quiet in the first half went crazy in the 2nd. Particularly at the pirate end. [*]There was a really great 2nd half sequence by Whaley. Got the ball down low, dropped it to a wide open Hawkins in the corner. Shot missed, Whaley got the board, drew the defense to the paint, then passed it to AJ for the wide open 3. [*]I get scared when Gaff is in the game without Cole. [*]The refs were REALLY screwing us over in the 2nd half. After we got the lead, it seemed like we got whistled on EVERY SH possession for about 8 minutes. First half, 5 fouls on the Huskies and 3 on SH. 2nd half? 14 - 9. We shot 12 FTs for the game to SH's 24. [*]Jackson took Tyrese by surprise with that pass at about 6:00. It looked like AJ had made his mind up to shoot before he got to the front court. [*]Ajax blown dunk at 4:48. His 2nd bad play in a row, but for some reason, that was when I felt the game slip away in an instant. [*]Not the best camera angle, but I rewound that walking call on Martin @ 2:38 a bunch of times, and I sure can't see it. [*]Foul call on Whaley, after 8 seconds of street fight on a loose ball was asinine. [*]I HATE that last play call of regulation. You could see it was going to end up in a prayer. [*]Absolutely no question that Richmond charged on that last SH regulation possession. No Call. [*]Cole NEVER misses that floater! [*]Tyrese bailed out Jackson, turning what looked like an uncatchable hail mary pass into a dime to a wide open Polley. [*]We did the same #@%% thing again at the end of OT. Even worse without Cole. No motion, trying to burn clock instead of set up a play. Except this time, no Cole, so a very predictable turnover. Hurley definitely needs to rethink his endgame strategy when we have the ball with approximately one shot clock and a tie or one possession game. [*]Actually getting a shot off at the end was surprising. Not the shot anybody really wanted, but a shot, and it came a lot closer than anybody in the gym might have guessed it would. [*]We scored 76 from the field, to SH's 70. [*]Sanogo had a game. [*]Whaley had I think one more really good play than bonehead plays. Didn't play anywhere near his normal minutes. Did losing the start to a guy who contributed only 6 points, 0 boards and 0 blocks get into his head? [*]Hawkins, for a guy just trying to find minutes, played pretty well. Except for 3 TOs. [*]Martin and AJ -- 9 TOs between them. Same as their combined rebound total. Splitting 23 points was OK, but the turnovers were killer. Overall, I thought the team played pretty well on the whole. But pretty well don't cut it when the other team is playing about as well as you and they have the benefit of a seriously home court whistle. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
