Message: [QUOTE="bblanco15, post: 2488195, member: 2279"] We need a true point guard to lead them and without Gilbert we are in big trouble. There is no leader or anyone that can get them into their offense. Adams is not that guy he’s not making anyone else better The team can’t run the offense because Adams, Anderson, and Vital can’t get them into their offense against ball pressure. Every possession they try starting their offense almost from half court so of course people can’t get open off the ball specially trying to make long entry passes to the wings or bigs. Then when they do get the entry pass they get pushed out past the three point line and there is nothing they can do but kick it back out. Then we have to scramble to get a shot up before the end of the shot clock. It’s the same thing we did to teams when we won our last two championships. The only person some what capible is Adams but only in pick and roll situations. Teams are just going to keep doubling and overloading on Adams during pick and rolls the rest of the season unless we get Gilbert back it’s going to be ugly the rest of the year on offense. When they actually do have a decent possession they miss the wide open shot or they travel. Somebody needs to step up and start making shots. Its not hard to play defense when you only have two threats on the court with Adams and Larrier. It’s also a whole lot easier to play defense when you’re making shots. Hopefully Gilbert either comes back or he has the surgery soon so he has longer to get himself ready for next year. I’m also hoping the point guard coming in is the leader and competitor he is said to be. It’s frustrating but I think there is some pieces but without Gilbert we have no true leader in the floor. I’m not saying we would be blowing teams out but we are definitely better with him because he has the ability to make others around him better. [/QUOTE]
