[QUOTE="ramblinwreck1378, post: 395091, member: 1108"] A few notes about last night's game. 1. I'll steal a phrase from CPJ re: Jay Jones on Alvarado's play "Something's going to happen when he's got the ball". Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. His turnovers frustrate me to no end, but there's no knocking his effort and toughness. 2. We let FSU dictate the pace of the game last night, and with our personnel, it did not benefit us. Our transition defense is very bad. Very bad. And FSU, specifically Mann, exposed that. When we were able to get into half court sets, we looked much better defensively. 3. CGB has to give more on the offensive end. If he's not on, fine, but in those cases, he's got to find other ways to contribute (attacking defensive gaps, crashing the boards, being a threat at all with the ball in his hands). 4. I didn't think Lammers played as poorly as others are saying on here. His role has changed significantly from last year - last year the guy playing AD's spot was Q, who preferred to be on the perimeter, which essentially cleared things out for Lammers to work anywhere within 15 ft of the basket. Now there's another gold jersey in there, which muddies things up and has forced Lammers to play further away from the basket. I'm with Peac in that I don't really understand why you'd sacrifice one of your top player's productivity for someone like AD to have mild success, but that's not my call. 5. Tadric. Sigh. I specifically remember an inbounds play underneath our own basket where Lammers is standing wide open in the corner, and Tadric elects to inbound the ball to someone underneath the goal where there are several FSU jerseys, which leads to a fast break lay-up. He just doesn't play smart. But this is what you get with him, and we all just need to accept that. 6. Okogie is the least of our worries right now, and people complaining about him need to open their eyes. The guy had 16 and 16 last night and gave maximum effort - I had no issues with his performance. 7A. I didn't really have an issue with the officiating. Sure there were questionable calls on us, but there were on FSU too. I will say, Mann does a great job of really selling contact - there were a few times I thought our guys went straight up and he drew a foul, but props to him on realizing contact was being called and taking advantage of it. 7B. However, on the topic of officiating, they need to figure out how to call games consistently from game to game. It's tough to adjust from a UNC game where nothing is called to a game like last night where virtually everything is called in a matter of days. On to Clemson, which almost feels like a must-win at this point in the season, especially without Grantham. [/QUOTE]
