Message: [QUOTE="freshler40, post: 4488644, member: 11053"] Well, it seemed like the two bigs together held their own It was an interesting look at times. If Johnson returns soon, we could play that option, more. We aren't built for a game that Jackson spends 16 minutes of the first half on the bench. Jackson was baited early, and he bit. Amazing that we were only down 3 points at halftime. The twin towers worked quite well and has to be defined more. Perhaps we need to clearly give up one scoring aspect to the opponent like this letting them beat us outside but employing a zone from time to time. The crushing second half offensive of PC and all hands on the board rebounding killed us. The swarm did us in. Not only did PC hit outside shots but easily drove the lane and went to the line repeatedly. The refs respected that type of offensive and didn't call charges. All but one late game penetration by PC resulted in them making a layup and also going to the line for more candy. We had zero answers except for the Bristol Tower. Santago needs to stop his dribbling after an offensive rebound and just go hard to the rim. We did a great job in the first half inside but that was flipped in the second half by Coolie's X & O's. Nice job by him adjusting. Adding to our woes are the poor shooting results in all three major categories. Our picks need to be held a bit longer giving the ball handler a choice of reversing his direction. Donavan does a good job here but other don't hold their pick on enough to free up our three-point shooters. We have the pieces. Teams had adjusted their offensive schemes. We have to change and will or were toast. [/QUOTE]
