Are we going to suck or be good this year. Frank seems pretty excited about this team...why?

I hope we are good.

Please respond.

I think we may suck.

Hope I'm wrong. Just seems like we've got a lot of nice role players, but no stars or clutch players.

MacG - solid player. nice shot. seems like a Cartier Martin clone. struggles to create his own looks.
Sprad - solid. Not Pullen.
Southwell - long, above average defender. offense is below average.
JHR - Came on late last season. played really well in spurts. Don't know how that will translate to an entire season.
Jones - No idea.

Bench: very little size. excited to see Gipson and Diaz. Hope Jamar regained his sanity. I don't see a lot of points off of the bench.

good JYC type of year. 11 seed? Might "get hot" at the end of the year.

This team should be fun to watch.

I can't wait to see what kind of junkyard tats sprads unveils for this new season.

jtksu · « **Reply #5 on:** October 13, 2011, 02:23:11 PM »

Expect Sprad and Southie to improve quite a bit overast year.

That's not a basketball question. It's a Frank question. Frank says things like he's shocked that Pullen isn't NBA material. He has his own agenda.

Frank says its the fastest team he's had. Had trouble last year in transition, look for that to change.

1) understatement of the century
2) really hard to tell if this is actually going to improve, because it is difficult to understate how talented Denis was on the break and providing tempo in general.

I knew I'd draw out some real HBBIQ'rs with that statement

You're just mad someone called you a dumbass after you posted something reasonable..

Having Frank seem so positive about this team kinda freaks me out.

DScott tweeted yesterday that frank mentioned that the speed and shooting ability of this group gives him what he wants to go back to the offense that we used to run before this last season. Said that he will start there, but that he will keep last year's Undie's offense in his back pocket in case we still suck at Frank's offense.

frank needs to realize he's not an offensive coach and that his offense sucks.

Frank's Offense= totally random movement and passes among guards/combos with practically no movement in low post, crossing fingers to hope a PG will sprint in and loft a teardrop jumper (Denis) or jump straight into a defender and loft something that passes for a shot at the last second to get to the line (Jake).

Yeah. Sucks, but I love it.

Frank's offense got us to a Sweet 16 so I love the crap out of it.

The success of Frank's "offense" depends on the play-making ability of the individuals on the court. Points are not created as a product of his offense. If players have a hot hand (See Clemente and Pullen '10) we are tough to stop. If players are cold, our offense looks painfully awful.

Elite 8, actually. On the other hand, if we didn't switch to Undy's offense last year, we could have missed the tournament all together.

jtksu · « **Reply #22 on:** October 14, 2011, 06:34:31 PM »

Man, the E8 was such a magical experience I still can barely believe it actually happened.

a) bullshit. b) that's every offense.

Why do you need an offense with the low post running around everywhere?
