[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 989209, member: 4110"] I think some are over-thinking this: When the ball moves, the offense looks good and we get open shots. When our players are stagnant on that end, everything looks worse and the stats show it. None of this is special to GT. The question is, why does the offense sometimes stagnate and sometimes not? Is it the defense? Is it coaching/confusion? I have stated my theory: we bog down on O when the guys have lost their legs playing intense man-to-man D. We came in looking deep, but in actuality, we are not that deep. Depth is okay at the wing with Kelly, Coleman and Reeves +/- Gapare. But, in the back court, Lance Terry is not playing and Abram isn't either. That is two key guys down. In The Front Court, we basically have Baye. Gapare is productive SOMETIMES. He can block shots but is not great on the boards or as a post scorer. He is more of a transition presence than a half-court player at this point. I am one who sees Claude largely over matched at the ACC level. Dowuona is limited and doesn't play in key situations. So, we are not so deep up front, either. We play energy intense schemes on both ends. i think our legs get a bit heavy in the middle of halves. Then, when the opposition also gets a little gassed, we do better. We are not a great half court team at this stage and we do better when teams allow us to get out in transition, even though we turn the ball over quite a bit in transition. But I think a big part is the legs. [/QUOTE]
