Well, you will never hear me complain about sitting Haywood or Wright, never. But, on the flip side, we have had several 3 minute stretches this year where we have gone down by 15+ points, so...

I agree 100% about Alston. And after seeing the video that someone on the forum posted of Obganda's speech at the GTAA dinner, I think he is also destined for good things in the future. Same for AD after reading his story in the AJC. All three of these guys are great Tech men.

I agree the win was more important than token minutes, and since it took overtime to get a win by 3 points, Pastner did the right thing in not playing them for token minutes. AD gave us some quality minutes tonight for sure. Me and my boy were at the game, and it was a nice way to end our home...

If memory serves, we were playing man to man when he Sjo-time got blown by for a dunk late in the game. Your point about needing to stay in front of his man, obviously still stands, and is even more critical when playing man to man.

Not no but hell no... but he could morph into a baby giraffe right before our very eyes.

A few fairly shocking observations: Amazing that we only had 7 turnovers. Amazing that we actually took 2 more shots than UVA (we routinely take 15+ fewer shots than our opponent). Amazing that they out rebounded us by 20. Amazing that Shembari Philips got in the game (the wacky personnel...

I get that, and I think it puts Banks in a bad position. The biggest guy on the team having to sprint the baseline and cover more ground than anybody on the floor? It's not sustainable. He will be gassed late in the game, and he has been. I'm just a guy, but I would maybe try banks in the...

And isn’t one of the tenets of Bennet’s pack line defense to always double the post along with always cut off the baseline?

I agree with peacone about Moses’ defense. He overplays the high side of the wing zone and is slow to recover.

I haven't listened to the press conference yet, but this sounds like just a case of a classic CJP response. He says this sort of thing all the time, "So-and-so didn't play well. So-in-so has to play better. If So-in-so doesn't play well, it's just hard. If So-in-so doesn't play well, we...

You are right that what qualifies as carrying the ball from one point to another requires interpretation. Your interpretation requires a lack of elementary level reading comprehension skills. My interpretation requires an amazing level of denseness and Flat Earther levels of denying obvious...

I guess you are right about your 1st sentence though... I guess it is not "considered" to be carrying from one point to another, since they don't call it.

Hey, you are the one that posted the text of the rule. It is simple reading comprehension. You shouldn't need Youtube videos for reading comprehension. Take another look. It's an "and or statement". You are not allowed to put your hand under the ball and do either 1 or 2. You seem to only...

Yes it is. You posted the rule above and it says "a player who is dribbling may not put any part of his hand under the ball and carry it from one point to another". If you place your hand under the ball and take a step, then you have carried the ball from one point to another. The rule you...

Ok. Point taken, but for the specific skill of dribbling, I disagree. If they could dribble, they would, instead of carrying the ball all over the court.

If you put your hand under the ball and take a step then you have carried the ball from one point to another. That should be called as palming/carrying the ball. I bet 50% of all dribbles are palming. Maybe that’s high, but it is rampant.

I would love to see how the game would change over time if traveling and palming were called more strictly. In general I think athleticism is increasing but skills are decreasing. I don’t think it’s good for the game. The NBA game is a joke these days.

On the bright side: Jose has been balling out the last 3 games averaging 22 ppg (17, 29, 20). Hope his slump is officially behind him and he plays at his current level the rest of the season. Devoe is shooting a great percentage from 3 since ACC play started (over 40% in 15 games). He still...

Don't slight AD. He has become an ACC level player. He is a legit low post scorer with definitely the best post moves on this team and, in my opinion, some of the best post moves in the conference. He isn't rock solid consistent, but no one on this team is. Unfortunately, he will be gone...

Please don't call me a "woof woof woof" heathen... I would rather jump off a building than be associated with those mouth breathers. Sorry I hurt your feelings, but I get tired of the old arguments about the ACC having it our for us. To me, it's garbage. I know what I am watching during a...
