HawkItus Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Every time. PG gets penetration. Everyone scrambles to help. Open three/driving hoop on the dish. We have to get a defensive stopper at PG this summer. I don't why Kirk hasn't been given a chance on Thomas during some stretches at the end of the game. At least he would keep out the middle of the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobrathbun4pres Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 there is no reason teague or dennis shouldnt be able to cover that midget. He shouldnt be getting more than 25 a game nor should boston even be getting those open looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS17Fanboy Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) The whole Boston team is also working for Thomas, setting multiple screens, after the first are mostly covered fine by our guards. So its hard to defend that where they give up something elsewhere.....Dennis despite all is flawfull games of late is doing great against Thomas most the time. Bud also tries to match up Dennis against Thomas as much as he can justify. Edited April 25, 2016 by DS17Fanboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Our shooting is worse than our defense. We're taking 33.5 three's per game and only making 27% of them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no consistent scorers on this team and that's a big problem in the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted April 25, 2016 Premium Member Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Teague's defense has always been a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 I'm a broken record at this point, but Teague can't be guarding Thomas when Thomas is running off the ball. It's as clear as a blue sky and yet no move has been made against it. If the PG is initiating offense with the ball in his hands, Teague can guard that PG at an average basis, but he can't guard players running off the ball.

We start standing around on offense, slowly walking the ball up the court, iso-sap until the wheels fall off. It's like we lose trust in our offense but we have no scorer to put absolute trust in. The only reason we are this good is because the system is our scorer. Quit running the system and it's a bunch of pretty good but not great offensive players out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Point Guard Production in G4: 7/31 for 22.5%, 7 assists with 6 Turnovers - we have no chance with this kind of production from the supposed STRENGTH of this team. Shameful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why we are always on the receiving end of playoff punishment. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I complained repeatedly about our lack of physicality on both ends of the floor in the second half yesterday. Guys were taking bad jumpers and fadeaways avoid contact. That is a recipe for a cold spell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's because he's only 5'9" but he gets a buttload of touch fouls. 12 hours ago, Spud2Nique said: Where's Ivan when we need him :-) Put Hinrich on Thomas. Wiley vet with no respect.

Moderators macdaddy Posted April 26, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 I'm usually the first one to complain about the refs but with Thomas I think if you are aggressive on offense, and under control, then you get calls. Teague does this sometimes but for whatever reason he just wasn't aggressive in game 4. Sap was but his constant complaining to the officials has become a cry wolf scenario. But this is a systemic problem. When you don't play physical all the time you can't just turn it on in the playoffs. Because like anything you don't practice, you'll suck at it. And you'll end up fouling, getting techs, getting rattled. Sound familiar? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
