[QUOTE="GTJason, post: 395071, member: 94"] I was thinking about this a lot last night. Where is the "violent cutting to the basket" Pastner was talking about last year? He emphasized it a lot. The conclusion I came to is also our biggest problem: turnovers. We can't thread the needle on passes cutting to the basket when we can't even go around the horn a few times without throwing it out of bounds. This is where I think we miss Q and Heath the most. I remember when Pastner first came in and was running drills he kept yelling at guys dribbling a lot telling them they're giving the ball a headache and to keep the pace moving. I don't think we can do that until the game slows down a bit for Alvarado. One think that baffles me and is a skill that is taught to young kids playing basketball is know where you are going before you start dribbling. I've seen a bunch of our players catch a pass, take 2 dribbles, and then pick up the ball. That's a turnover waiting to happen on the trap and not many refs are going to call a foul when you make a bonehead play like that. TBH, none of us thought we were going to beat UVA, UNC, or FSU. It would have been nice, it was great to be 3-3 in the ACC, but we're just not there yet. Good news is we're due for a upset to give us unrealistic expectations soon. Hope it's Clemson this weekend.
