When I look at this team, I see the Warriors. You’ve got a first time coach (Kerr) who inherits a team (from Mark Jackson) with a great defensive foundation. And they turned into this juggermaut. Lloyd comes in and Inherits a team with a great defensive foundation. So far, so good. (They kind of pla...

Those with insight into the program-- we've discussed culture and the problems with it currently. Does the huge turnover this year, and the huge shift in recruiting, give us a chance to completely reset that culture? And is there any indication that is something being worked on? Hopefully JeT can h...

Agreed. Plus, if you remember, Kansas was a juggernaut that year. No one gave us any chance at all against them.

I agree. In Auburn and Tech's case ‘shoulda won’ would be 'shouldn't have shot myself in the foot'.

edit: in Tech's case I don't know why they didn't foul ahead by 3 with 10 seconds left.

We talk about luck being a factor in tournament wins. Has any team been luckier than VA? They should have lost both those games. Luck is sometimes the biggest factor.

Tough thread to read. Have to wonder how much the turnover in the staff has impacted the program. Seems like the level of our assistant coaches is questionable ell last year we had a pretty good offensive minded asst.. Romar. Didn't seem to matter. It never did seem to me that he was contributing a...

Won't surprise me. A point guard, no slow lumbering center, and Miller (maybe) forced to play a modern game.... sounds good to me.

Luke Walton now gets to coach Lebron James. Would be awesome to get some Kerr vs Walton WCFs I wonder how that is going to work. Will Luke turn into tyronn Lue? Maybe Lebron just wants to play ball and not make any decisions about it. Speaking of Lebron, wanna bet Kawhi and LBJ already have it plan...

You must be watching different game. The Warriors are fantastic. Great defense, passes, back door cuts, assists, unselfish basketball. And the greatest shooter of all time. Plus Iggy. Colleges, if they want to win, will have to start playing this way, too.

psiclist23

I posted this in another thread:

Miller has been vastly rewarded -$$$$- for doing things a certain way. And a level of success that most teams envy. Would you rush, or even be able, to change a system that has paid you millions over a few short years?

psiclist23

I personally thing there was not too much wrong with this team that a great pg wouldn't have solved. As far as Miller goes, he has been vastly rewarded -$$$$- for doing things a certain way. And a level of success that most teams envy. Would you rush, or even be able, to change a system that has pai...

psiclist23

haha I hope it's not rigged like Lakers/Kings was. I love the Warriors. Great basketball. Unselfish and fantastic playmaking. Lots of other teams emulating them now. CBB needs to get rid of one and dones and back to longer term teams and it will get better. It's still fun to watch. Blow up the NCAA.

psiclist23

I agree totally 97. Someone commented recently about Sean yelling at PJC everytime down the floor. Made me wonder if Coach, consciously or not, didn't want pg who could run things himself and he was still the real pg. Either way, it killed us sticking with pjc.

psiclist23

Here I thought Miller was a very smart guy. But only an idiot would ever talk about ANYTHING illegal or against the rules ON THE PHONE.

psiclist23

I rarely complain about the refs but some of those (many) were baffling. Did the refs think we were playing Duke?

Dusan Ristic $15

What I see as a difference from the three wins is lack of ball movement. NC State and MSU both were whipping it around finding a good shot. Is there some kind of dissension in the locker room? What happened to the team that was killing it? And wow, a couple of losses and the can't-miss cats that you...

psiclist23

Regarding seeing PJC in some (e.g.) crunch-time line-up scenarios, if he wants to play he's going to have to be damn good. Assuming Miller makes him earn it.

psiclist23

Wow. Ayton is the real deal. I'll be amazed if he doesn't go #1. And Alonzo. He's going to end up the point guard. He was doing tonight what we were begging for last season. Instead of forcing a crappy shot, he repeatedly passed out to the open shooter. If he keeps that up, being double-teamed, whil...

i can only think of 2 or 3 schools who have a match-up for him.

psiclist23

The consensus here (mostly) seems to be the Lauri will be very good but not quite up to Dirk. I'm wondering what you see that gives you that opinion. Is there something about Lauri phiysically that would keep him behind? How good was Dirk his first few games in the League? I don't have have a strong...

psiclist23

Trier brings the ball up. He's deadly so if they don't double him... layup. Double him and he passes to a shooter. Sounds easy to me.

psiclist23

The worst part for me in all this is we are going to hear this bs repeated every single game this season.

How much did Bagley get, if anything at all, because we're talking about Duke where it's a privilege to even step on campus with the great Coach K? you think Bagley and Duval went to Duke cause they wanted to be Blue Devils???

These kids must have an unrealistic view of how good players in the NBA really are.

Stop wasting your time bringing up Duval. It's not happening.[/quote]

Why wouldn't he come here? We really need a point guard, and he would be on a great team. Better than Duke, probably.

psiclist23

At least we get these guys for a year. See, I'm torn on this. Because as much as I love me some AG and SJ and Lauri, I'm not sure this is good for the college game. It makes a mockery of the term "student-athlete," and it makes college hoops into a de facto minor league for the NBA. Which is better...

What if: Laurie told Sean he would "stay another year. IF, we play more [this way]. How do you think that conversation would go?

psiclist23

I agree with most posts here. I see you 97. One thing that hurt us that I have not seen mentioned was Rawle's injury. It was obvious to me that his shooting and ball handling was way off. He is not hurt, we win. That being said, I used to say that if you want to predict the winning team, look at reb...

The only way you get better attacking a zone is through practice. The problem is no one on our team is actually good at playing a zone defense. Miller tells the scout team to set up in a zone defense and our starter's shred it. We're good to go right? Wrong! I'm not sure how to address this. I have...

They have stopped playing team ball. Seems like Trier is trying to do it all himself. Why is he starting? Are Kobi and Rawle pissed because after winning 19 games as starters they seem to be afterthoughts? Why isn't Laurie shooting at least 10 3's per game? Yeah, OR played great, but they had the mo...

I stopped watching when Laurie got his third foul on that ridiculous flop. The ref's must have not seen that viral flop that was going around. I am not surprised by this game, since as we have gone over many times they can't beat a zone, and don't have much of a chance against a good team playing on...
