Memphis game thread

I love it how the way to officiate nowadays is to wait until after the miss to call the foul instead of right when it happens
 
Joiner really likes making the worse pass in basketball.

Wth?!?!

You teach 5th graders to never make the cross court pass like that.
 
3/15 is what kills us. So sad. We are good defensively and motion offensively (when we don’t try to over dribble,), but can’t hit shots.
 
Rachal only player attacking the basket and it shows in our offense.
 
Joiner has gone back to stopping his dribble before making a decision.

Believe that was the same ref with the bad call on Rachal's charge in the 1st and the one who made two bad calls in a row late and was ready to T up Haywood on free throws. He now has an axe to grind so expect more crap calls from him.
 
Overly attacking 1 against 3

Because no one else is moving to the basket on offense. If people would attack the basket and cut he would dump it off like he did in the first part of the second half. When three players came to him all four Tulsa players were standing still outside the 3pt line.

For all the grief Idowu takes, that offensive put back made the lead three, which pressured Memphis to shoot a low percentage three, which led to the back door play. Nice work Tulsa.

I haven’t seen anyone saying idowu is bad he needs to play every minute
 
Idowu just needs to be more aggressive to the hole. When he gets there usually something good happens. Tries to let the game come to him too much.
 
See, when the pall presses the defense and people cut the defense either backs off the ball and they get an easy shot or the ball goes to the cutter and they get the easy shot. Even if you Force the shot the cutter has the advantage to rebound and get an easy put back.

It requires being aggressive by everyone and then players attacking the basket with and with out the ball. This will open up shooters as the defense sucks in to shut the back door. That will let the ball get kicked out for open shots.

Have to play consistent defense, rebound, make free throws.
 
Why do we seem to dribble into a crowd of opposing players and then stop?

Got to make free throws and not give Q-man the ball.
