Message: [QUOTE="kcc1442, post: 2439135, member: 2577"] Whats worse is Adams defense when compared Gilberts, and Larriers makes him look like Scottie Pippen. This is right though. Our offense sucked. We don't share the ball. We take ill-advised off balance shots early in the clock. We run pick and roll and never hit the roller. We run pick and roll and after a kick to the corner never roll and replace and keep the ball moving to the opposite side of the court. We have guys that are soft at the rim (TL and AG). We have Freshman and inexperienced bigs that are not strong enough yet. So the offense sucks. But that can be looked at as a process. There is no reason that defensive intensity, communication, hustle and effort should ever be questioned regardless of the offense. I can't count the number of times we gave up a wide open three due to either a lack of communication, a lack of hedge by a big, or a heartless putrid closeout. That stuff is unacceptable. And Ollie should be talking about that in the post game. Not about the other team getting hot. Its terrible to say but after that effort, Ollie needs to have a serious dump or get off the pot talk with this team. You don't play hard for every second your in the game. You sit. Even if you are more talented than the guy replacing you. And even if he is less successful but plays harder he will stay in the game for your minutes. [/QUOTE]
