coonhounds Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 I’m not entirely sure everyone on this team gives a damn. One constant for the last 3 years to me has been effort/attitude, or lack there of. Another constant, DG, JS. How many games have we watched where either one of them does something either on the bench or pouted like a child. I don’t know what was said between JS and CAM in that blow by, but I was ready for JS to sit the rest of the game. But something clicked on him and his demeanor and body language changed and he played better at the end. DG on the other hand has had crap body language for several games now. Idk if it’s because he so damn streaky and has stunk for those games but he definitely doesn’t seem to be invested at all. Glad he rode the pine! It is incredibly sad that someone has had the carpet rolled out in front of them and to act like an a$$ more times than not. The attitude was rubbing off on the younger players again tonight, thank you Al for sparking a fire, but please start that fire at the opening tip from now on. Please no start for DG Saturday! I honestly think he plays better off the bench and off the ball! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBannersI just went to Facebook and someone had a photo of entire team standing and cheering on bench except deron and devonte setting and looking uninterested. Could be the upper class division someone mentioned or a coincidence Sent from my SM-G960U using BtownBanners mobile app kreigh8, Stuhoo, reconmkd and 2 others 5 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Maybe I’m wrong but it really looked like Justin Smith was imitating the move of the offensive player and explaining why he got lost on defense during that exchange. I could be wrong and your surely not the first to take issue with that exchange, that is just what it appeared like to me but I honestly didn’t rewind to rewatch but I know one of the mods did. As for De’Ron in one of those replays he was clearly shaking his head and whispering to Devonte after Trace had missed a bunny but was fouled going into one of those timeouts cthomas, reconmkd and thebigweave 3 Quote

But Green doesn't know how handle such a responsibility. As per his instagram posts, he assumed it meant GREEN LIGHT. Quote

It likely was but it’s not the first time a player has blown by the coach. Although it was DG the last time and he definitely was mocking CAM behind his back. After that incident tonight thought JS seemed to snap back to reality.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app thebigweave 1 Quote

He was frustrated and that is what he was doing people making to big of deal about that. I think archie said what he wanted.

bleedhoosier Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Oh yea, I paused on that moment with Green and Davis mad at the world. Over it. This is a them problem and I'd move on without them at this point forward. Mop up duty or foul relief. coonhounds and Stuhoo 2 Quote
Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Ok so that was absolutely rough no doubt about that. I can't imagine playing that poorly and winning but they did. This season record wise is still very salvageable hopefully put this one behind them and play better Saturday. Actually I am glad we didn't hit everything and win by 30 tonight and play like that and lose by 45 Saturday Sent from my SM-G960U using BtownBanners mobile appKnowing this team, they’ll still play like that Saturday. Or get up by 12 and give up the lead. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app coonhounds 1 Quote

chicagoHOOSIER Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 how many times did the IU defense force a steal only for the transition offense to run the length of the court, with help, and try to shoot a layup straight through the only northwestern guys in position to defend under the basket, and of course miss and/or get swatted down, and lose possession?

HoosierAloha Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 On that play, Smith definitely lost his man but he was the help in the ball screen. Hunter should have been a step or two closer to the lane to take that back cut away. Communication on D would help too. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners pumpfake 1 Quote

Alford Bailey Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 We are just putting a terrible product on the floor. I dont mind a defensive team who is fundamentally sound on offense but not spectacular. We are none of that. JUNK. bleedhoosier 1 Quote

Thank you lord please let him see the light See that's the kind of stuff that puts me back in Archie's corner. I'm upset but I still want to keep the perspective that YES, Archie re recruited these guys(Smith, Al) and asked Devonte and Davis to stay but what else choice did he have? It was probably more of he needed serviceable players , not that he WANTED them. It was too late in the process and I'm sure he wanted his guard to come from Dayton but that guy chose to hit Colorado I think. So... As hard as I've been on him... Is this even REALLY his kind of guys? TJD is a stud, Phinisee was/is, Franklin is going to be pretty good, and next year's class has this stigma of having a motor. He snagged Brunk who is as blue collar as it gets. These are my conflicted thoughts lol. mark1981, BGleas, HoosierDYT and 4 others 7 Quote
BtownBanner6 Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Not a popular opinion but outside of the last 2 minutes Phinisee was horrible, and if Green plays like this against the good teams we won’t win. He’s headache inducing and head scratching with the ball sometimes but we need him. Best passer and shooter on the team 8bucks, Josh and Str8Hoosiers 3 Quote

Al was the only guard who played well. Agreed. I’m pretty confused by all the compliments going his way tonight. He led the team in TOs and fouls while playing absolute garbage on ball defense and contributing nothing on offense until the last couple minutes where he had a couple nice passes. Al penetrated the zone where Green tried to shot over/pass through it and Rob stood around and passed along the perimeter. What we needed from the guards was dribble penetration, spacing from the bigs on the paint. Josh, GloryDays and BtownBanner6 3 Quote
