Did Someone Tell Mathis Not to Shoot?

[[email protected]]

Seems like every game Mathis made a 3 or two and put up some points.

Now he's tentative, as is McConnel and Yeboah, who can hit the 3 but wasn't last night. Couple that with Young (who can't find the ocean ...now) RHJ who's sporadic, and Geo taking any shot....and add in Myles who's MIA.

I'm all in and have been since 1964... but we've got to stop obsessing about D to the exclusion of O.

You can win a game 1-0 but you have to score from the FT line first. Point: put some UMMMPH into the O!

GO RU!

he passes up EVERY 3. You got to let it rip when you have an open look

Threw up an airball early and got tentative.

Mulchay is now starting to look at the basket ….when forced to.

I like what RHJ said that Kobe told him "I'll teach you to pass when you're older". IMO Shooting is a skill set...but it's also about confidence and results- with the Results producing confidence to do it again. The reverse is also true...that is , not getting the bucket and missing the basket makes you hesitant and turns you into a 1 dimensional players (passer) / the only way to come out of that mindset is to SHOOT your way out: it's not a Defensive issue!

How about we run an offense we do the same thing every time down we hold the ball by the R everyone stands around and watches the ball; then the center comes out and sets a screen so far out that its impossible to do a pick and roll and then we chuck up a bad shot; obviously we did have enough open looks but we can't make a shot but we need to run more plays to get guys open

I did...in the game thread...after the 5th time he drove to the basket and threw it into a Michigan player.

I know we are not a traditionally great shooting team but we can shoot well in spurts and would rather some chucking when we have a relatively open three than that pump fake and drive into the 7 footers we seem to love to do
