More love for CDS from Reeves.... Quote from AJC article... “Since Day 1 coach (Damon Stoudamire) just instilled a level of confidence in me that I’ve never had while I’ve been in college,” Reeves said. “It’s kinda like just go out there and play hard, play the right way, and everything else...

Just like everything, context is important. When you consider the all the factors in play, the stats should be worse than those of a year ago. That said, I think that we currently avg. 70+ ppg, a year ago, we averaged 69ppg. Stats matter, but wins and development matter more IMO. Here's the...

The comparison seems to be a team that finally rounded into form (after struggling most of the year) 18-20 games into the season, against a team in its 7th game, with a new coach, new players - one of its best coming off injury. What am I missing?

Agreed..there wasn’t a bigger Josh fan on here than me, and I think they’re all losing it. 7 games in and we look like a better program on both ends of the court.

My guy - we ran the Princeton, it just wasn’t through Rodney and started a lil different. We played smaller and went through JaVon, but it still the same sets for the most part.

LOL - is this the same forum from a year ago? At least three post here stating the offense looked better a year ago. 🤪 Our offense was god-awful a year ago. It’s ultimately what got Josh fired. All we heard was crying about the Princeton.

LOL...You're so intent on being right that you're just making **** up as you go. Both Deebo and Miles were known as shooters, this style of offense has produced them with countless open shots. Many plays designed for them. But it doesn't suit them... If you really believe that the Princeton...

LOL.. The returning players have been given many, many chances to prove themselves. Their opportunity has been there. I'm a Deebo fan and he was terrible last night when we needed him most. Also, what a terrible take on Ndongo. You're going to bang on his stat line against Miss State? It was...

...that Miles Kelly kid is pretty good.

When Lance makes it back, Carter's minutes will be gone like a thief in the night! LOL

That's why making those outside shots, especially corner 3's, are so important. If we are knocking those down, the D has to pick its poison. Either give up an easy lay-up / lob or a 3-ball from the corner. I'd say that the D is taught to stop the drive and live with a team shooting a high %...

Gapare is not a big in the traditional sense. I doubt you ever see him play with his back to the basket. Feels like CDS is using Gapare and Ndongo in similar roles, and we know where those minutes are going to go. Plus, he is also nursing an injury. I think that he'll have a role once...

Maybe it is more about Abrams not doing everything CDS feels like he should be doing to get on the court than actually ability. Effort level and desire seem like prerequisites for Damon, and Abrams body language was bad in the two games he played.

The lobs from Nait are sort of like the RPO in football. If the big in the paint steps up to help stopping the layup, the lob is there every time. It is either shoot or pass. Forcing him to score means stopping the pick and roll, otherwise, he will have a layup or floater.

Thanks for sharing.. That was a good read! Makes me feel even more confident that we are on the right track.

Exactly...Ebe is a very good screener. That is critical when you have a team that is good with perimeter pressure like Duke. He's also really good at keeping possession's alive by tipping it out. His ability to take up space in the paint really opens up the high screen and roll (that produced...

LOL…Or overreacting? Tried to tell y'all to be patient, but it was always part of the process. Dont think that there won’t be more moments like it. Put me on record as saying Tuesday night in Athens scares the **** out of me. Hope we can figure out a way to get Lance healthy soon. People need...

As I said above, I expect us to compete and match their physicality. That’s a must to have a chance. From there, it’s gonna come down to guard play; we need big games from our lead guards and one of Deebo/Miles/Kowacie. Let’s get loud!

Agreed...and I know you aren't one of them, but we're four games into a new coaches first year and this thread is filled with people questioning the hire? Honestly, it is kinda laughable but par for the course with the GT fan base. CDS has more buzz around program than anyone in quite some...

Exactly.. I hate calling out any players, but Amare hasn't been playing well. If I recall, he was invited to USA Basketball U19 camp, and he was billed as a top transfer. From my vantage point, he has struggled as a scorer and facilitator. On top of that, Kyle has really cooled off after a...
