You only seem to appear in game threads that we've lost or pulled out of our a**. Appears to be a trend where you don't post and we win games, maybe take one for the team the next 6 weeks.

Refs screwed us in the last 5 min, and we're the home team. Love it

Wade has historically kicked Ziegler's ass. Ziegler was nails down the stretch and that three was tough. Sometimes just tip your cap

---

Allowing their best player to get an open look, even if difficult, is not a "tip our cap". You don't let their star take the shot. Wade wasn't even paying attention.

Wade needs to be better or we're screwed. He's not playing well. I'm sure he would tell you that too

---

That's a different statement than 'Wade is playing awful and we are worse when he is on the floor' which a lot of morons are saying. We can maybe afford to have one tournament game where Wade isn't playing great, but he will have to play at or near his A game to go deep.

That was the most three pointers Tennessee has made all year

---

And the reason would be our poor defense of the three in this game. Can't let them feel like they're shooting in warmups.

---

Also we made 1 3pt shot in the 2nd half. 1. Hard to win with that when the other team shoots 40+% from behind the arc like Tennessee did today.

---

Defend the 3 better and we win no matter what we shoot from 3.

---

Their best players got open 3's literally whenever they wanted them. Buzz absolutely refuses to guard the 3. Been that his whole career. Teams that can shoot easily beat Buzz, which is why he never makes it anywhere in the tournament.

---

This is "easily beat" us in your mind? You're brilliant

That's all fine, but he's supposed to be our best player. Just being productive isn't good enough. He needs to be more than that. And i don't care what his stat line said today, he wasnt productive and hurt momentum several times. What he's putting out there isnt enough for us to be a serious player in the tourney.

---

He scored or assisted on 2/3s of our points. Saying he wasn't productive is again just flat out wrong

---

he also killed momentum many times and made stupid mistakes. It can go both ways.

---

I never said he didn't Braxton. I said even with all of that he was still our most productive player today

---

can we agree then that he did not play good ?

---

probably, but then again, worst player I've ever seen amirite

---

Prob should have clarified. When he's off I've never seen a guy worse than him. When he's on he's elite. Is that better ?

---

This is a very dumb thing to write

umadbro44 said:

He was terrible the other day too. The guy is a major defensive liability that takes horrible shots. We play better without him.

Hahhahahahahahahhahahha

If you can hit your 3's against Buzz, you will always be in a close game. If you can hit them at a high clip, good chance you will win. Every team will get them easily. Just need one rotation to make it happen. Some teams even get them without having to cause rotation, as guys like Carter perform lazy switches guarding the only person on the other team putting up points.

People that hate wade need to banned from the basketball forum. Braindead takes from people that don't watch basketball

---

Once you make your own site or move to Germany, you can then sensor other posters. Till thin stick to commenting on the team and tolerating other's opinions.

I was hoping that having to leave the house and not be able to check my phone would have resulted in a better 2h. Too bad. Ugly ass week.

"open" and "difficult" don't really go together. It was a tough shot and better him than Lanier or Chaney

I was lied to earlier on this board about our 3pt defense being statistically good. I don't understand how being 270th out of 364 in amount of 3 pointers given up per game can be considered even average. And that was before today.

You didn't get lied to. Raw numbers and actual percentage of makes are not the same. Percentage wise we are pretty solid

We were 69th out of like 300+ teams coming into today in opponent three point percentage. 31.8%

Which makes this a meaningless stat if you continue to give up wide open 3's and therefore more points via the 3 than 269 other teams. Thus, we are not good at defending the 3 mostly because we choose not to.It's like other teams holding us to terrible shooting percentages but letting us get offensive rebounds and put backs

It's not meaningless at all. Absurd to even say that. If you are jacking a bunch of threes, but shooting them at only a 32% clip, that's less than one point per possession. Rebound effectively and you'll take that all day long

It's all analytics. It has worked all year. We allow teams to shoot threes but want them being contested or tough ones. Honestly didn't think the defense was that bad today. Today Tennessee was uncharacteristically hot. It happens

No more absurd than our method of winning which is to take way more shots than the other team and hope your offensive rebounding is how you get more shots. Absurd is continuing to give up wide open 3's and hope the team reverts to their mean shooting percentage of when they take contested shots.

No longer on pace for top 10. But, this team is really good and if they focus on defense, could very well make it to the final 4. Just need the right seed and matchups in the tournament.
