youre right. i should have said 'helped pastner' hire his staff.
We played really well last night. We played good aggressive defense and efficient offense - full stop.
However, there is also no doubt FSU (like UNC) picked last night to play one of their worst games of the season. They didn't run their sets or play D like they usually do. Missed the shots they did have, got frustrated and allowed it to snowball on them.
We are a lot better team than I ever expected us to be this year, but we need some help to beat most teams in the ACC (smaller list than I thought when the season started though). I still think we get boat raced again this season (maybe twice) when a team hits on all cylinders and we can't keep up. The underlying talent difference between us and most of the rest of the ACC is still there.
gonna disagree but thats ok.
as i noticed and ajc ken wrote about... other than duke EVERYBODY has shot 3's poorly against us for the most part. we are one of the top D teams in the country and our center is playing like an nba candidate. AND... we are still coming together imo. LIKE A SNOWBALL OF JACKETS. gaining momentum with each win.
we are seeing improvement from every player up and down the lineup but for maybe tj. q is playing like a mad man on a mission. eye looked good last nite. all the players played to their strengths.
i have been watching the jackets since bc and this is one of the better if not the BEST story i can recall of all those teams over the years. the improvement this team has made is phenomenal. with a brand new coach no less.
im going to sit back and enjoy the ride. certainly better than '0 fer' which is what we were all expecting.
