This was literally the first game this season I turned off before it was over. I'll suffer through defeats and even blowouts, it comes with being a GT fan, but this is just unwatchable. It can't be that our only play is to have a guard dribble around occasionally penetrating 15 feet only to pull it back, ask for a pick that fouls more often than rolls and try unsuccessfully driving again. Next give the ball to the center at the top of the key, have him dribble a few times while the other 4 players avoid him like he has leprosy and then he picks up his dribble 20 feet from the basket. Finally either turn the ball over, have a shot clock violation, or pass it to someone who takes a well guarded 17 foot jumpshot. This all happens with 3-4 players mostly standing around.
I'm more baffled than mad about this, I'd love to see what's actually supposed to be run vs what's happening on the court. It can't be that every team has the blueprint on how to stop every play we run. This isn't the offense Pastner brought to Tech and I know he's in a tough spot because at some point people have to make shots and on this team it could be anybody or nobody. We just need something to lean on when those shots aren't falling. We were spoiled when the plan for that situation was "give the ball to Jose". I feel like us not having a real inside threat makes it easier for teams to step out and cut off Smith's dribble
