[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 396084, member: 1776"] Tough loss. Clemson lost by the three against UVA the other day, unfortunately they won by the 3 today. Their own fans mention they are a live by the three, die by the three type team. I think their experience helped as well as all but one player that played significant min last night was a JR or SR and most were RJR or SR. 3-pt shooting and offensive rebounding were the difference in the game. This game basically came down to 2 1/2 min of action. The last 1 1/2 min of the first half where Clemson trimmed an 8 pt deficit to 2. i thought that might bite us. The second was the min after the 12 min TO in the 2nd half where Clemson had the back to back steals for layups. GT had the momentum at that point and that just killed it. AD is playing so well right now. Not only did he have 14 pts and 8 rbs, he also had 3 assists (0 TO) and 3 blocks. You can tell the game has really slowed down for him the last 3-4 weeks and his head and his body are much more in sync. Clemson was doubling him in the second half which gave GT open jumpers that GT mostly missed (Lammers looked awful on most of his jumpers). He has gotten very comfortable with his post moves and is starting to see the floor from the post as well. I watched Reveno work with the bigs before the game. AD had by far the best post moves and footwork, missed only 1 shot. Ogbonda was probably second best. Lammers was somewhere in the mix with Avi and Evan, he missed alot of his shots. Moses was the weakest in the post drills. He looked really uncomfortable in the post. He looks like he needs to face up. It hurts to watch Curtis right now. You can see him limping at times. Another bad game for Tad. Alston played pretty well last night. Wish he had hit that three late. Sort of wish Josh had passed to him on the last shot, Clemson's entire defense collapsed on him. Alston had just missed that three but would have had a wide open look from the same spot. The plan this year was for the 2 SR and Josh to carry this team. Unfortunately the 2 SR are not playing well. Tad's avg 3 ppg less in ACC games than last season and his efficiency is down 5% in ACC games. Lammers is avg 5 ppg less than last year and his efficiency is down 28%. On the flip side AD surpassed Q's efficiency numbers last night and Jose (whose mom I got to talk to briefly yesterday) has surpassed Heath's efficiency numbers (and is outscoring Heath by 5 ppg). Overall the offense is quite a bit better than last season - currently #164 - compared to #259 last season. Defense has dropped off alot though, from #6 to #71. I think you are seeing more of what this team is going to look like next year as the year goes on. We are not running much through Lammers anymore, starting to see more dump the ball into AD or let Jose or Josh create. Losing Tad and Lammers but gaining Devoe, Phillips, hopefully a healthy Haywood and I expect to see more uptempo next year and more threes with more guys capable of hitting them. Hated losing to them, maybe we can return the favor in Littlejohn. [/QUOTE]
