The things that work against a bad team may not work nearly as well against better teams. Good ball movement will always work against good teams. When this team shares the ball we win games. When it stays stuck on the perimeter with guys dribbling the air out of it that’s when we get in trouble. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Buccaneer 74 Report post Posted March 7, 2020 I’d love to see is just unlock something going into the playoffs. Rarely happens in basketball but in hockey and baseball middle fo the road teams can just click and roll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He either lost the ball or he pitched it to a teammate while he was on the floor because the box score has him at only 1 turnover. (HE FELL DOWN, ENDING UP ON HIS BACK/BUTT) I saw this with my own eyes. I like the way Fultz, MCW and sometimes Ross were able to get to the basket to score and not over dribble in doing so, as Evan does. We need our players to stay upright, not tripping over their own feet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still like how we moved the ball a lot more without him in the lineup though. I’m also still convinced Wes deserves minutes in this rotation. I'm not going to apologize for my response that "I don't miss Evan". As TMF1987, SoulBro, and others have said, we move the ball a lot better without him in the lineup. As for Fultz, give him the ball and get out of his way! Oh yeah, I love MCW's aggressiveness on defense and offense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m one of the posters who complains when the ball movement stops, and it gets me especially upset when it’s clear that one of our guys decides they’re going to shoot no matter what, and after dribbling a bunch they put up a bad shot. I was referring more to the multiple posts talking about “giving the keys to Fultz” and just letting him drive to the basket all game. Better teams have shown repeatedly that they can pack the paint and mostly shut that down. Then they dare our guys to beat them from the outside, knowing that aside from Fournier none of our starters are reliable 3 point shooters. And then we will often shoot ourselves right out of a game. That formula is why our record is so awful against better teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That formula is why our record is so awful against better teams. I get what you were trying to say now. While I do agree with you to an extent I also feel when Fultz starts attacking early in the game it opens up his mid range game. Not sure if it’s the confidence he gets from watching a few go in early but it’s definitely a noticeable difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
