Come on Bama. Go on a run

 

[Bammerboy321]

You're not going to go on a run if you allow players to get into the lower post, Stevenson. And you're certainly not if you play D like that.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Stevenson is so fucking lost on defense. Altman is going right after him.

 

[mando]

Up double digits if they could protect the ball. Gotta clean that up. It has been a problem in most games.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Well we started with such good defense and a flowing offense. Then the veterans minus Nelson started playing like shit again

 

[Bammerboy321]

I mean I have no clue what Cliff is even doing that last possession. He was ball watching the whole time and look like he didn't even attempt to box out. Now Oregon ties it up because you're not disciplined.

Just a miserable performance again from a veteran team that won't commit to the other side of the ball.

 

[Bammerboy321]

And then Sears once again just takes one of the worst shots in basketball with three fucking guys on him. Dude is a turnover machine right now. Yet Philon comes in and the offense immediately sparks.

Once Philon or Holloway come in and run point, the offense takes off. Sears runs point and the offense turns it over 10 times.

Oats is gonna have to bench some of these guys. Holloway, Philon, Dioubate, Nelson, and find a fifth to roll out there. The rest can come off the bench when needed in my eyes.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Not trying to pile on Sears, but it's clear as day he is struggling running this offense. There's not even a need for him to run point because we have two capable PGs in Philon and Holloway. Sears is 2-6 from the floor right now and just gets stuck when he drives.

I think Wrightsell has done good. He's not playing that well on ball, but he's defending the PnR.

It's really frustrating that we don't have a rim protector yet. Sherrell is physical but not as athletic as Cliff. And then Cliff has the athleticism but doesn't protest the rim at all.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Nelson with another great pass

 

[bama alum]

Oh, shit... Wrightsell... Damn!

 

[Bammerboy321]

Oh son of a fucking bitch. Wrightsell is done

 

[mando]

Oh son of a fucking bitch. Wrightsell is done

Yeah that does not look good.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Well, if that's as bad as it looks, it did indeed ruin my night after all...

 

[Krimson]

Don't know anything about bb. Why the drop-off from Sears from last year in your opinion?

 

[Bammerboy321]

Some of these 3s by Sears are bad

 

[Bammerboy321]

Don't know anything about bb. Why the drop-off from Sears from last year in your opinion?

Maybe he's dealing with an injury or he's in his own head. Also early in the season. But he's not playing like the player he was last season.

 

[mando]

Sears is killing us with turnovers...

 

[Bammerboy321]

What the absolute fuck. Bench Sears now. You have to bench him. He's turning it over off his own dribbles with no one around him.
