Don't over think it - Defense has been good

Right now the majority of the game has the ball in the hands of players who don’t know how to initiate the offense. Assuming we’re calling plays on every possession. Idk what the philosophy is but there’s nothing purposeful. It looks like we’re simply spreading the floor to create a driving lane, but nobody drives them? Guys get the ball on the elbow and get stuck with the shot clock winding down.

Calm down! Start and finish games

Yes we have looked bad but this is where Sha finds out what he has to work with and who can be the players he needs to start and finish games. There is a lot to be optimistic about. The defense has been great. That is something that Sha works at and is his priority. All of his kids can score the ball. No doubt that once they get more games and practices in the offense will run better.

Dentists want fluoride...

Dentist want fluoride. Great, but have we ever asked heart doctors, cancer doctors, neurologists, etc. You make it sound like fluoride only impacts the teeth, nothing else. Don't you think it's worth real research. You'll have nice teeth, but it could have terrible impact on children's' brains. Doctors are so specialized they only care about their area and not the whole body.

Calm down!

When you have two Quad 3 or 4 losses on your resume after 3 games that should be cupcakes it's easy to get discouraged. And when you actually watch the games and your eyes hurt after each one its even worse. I'm calm but very disappointed in the coaching, team construction and lack of basketball that I've seen.

Yeah we all knew to set expectations low but this feels like the bottom falling out in November instead of the usual January dip

From Public Notice

Need to meet the people where they are. Democrats got that when Obama was running but are now completely out of touch with where people get their information. They desperately need new leadership.
I don't think it's right wing media as much as democrats lecturing people instead of listening to them. Obama lectured black men on why they should vote for Harris instead of listening to why they might vote for Trump. A lot of people held their noses to vote for Trump, but a lot of other people also held their noses and voted for Harris. Dems could very easily lose those people when Trump isn't running. Next election it will be over a decade since the Dems ran on something other than well we're not Trump. I don't think there's a person who understands what the democrats are missing better than Bernie. He gets it from a messaging perspective. Unfortunately for democrats his solutions are not what America wants, so him being the face of the solution is not the answer, but people should start listening to what he identifies as the problem and come up with the simple solutions, mainly listening to people and not lecturing them.

Bitcoin


"The new bill, called the Pennsylvania Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Act, introduced in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives on Thursday, is the first of its kind and would allow the state’s treasury to allocate up to 10% of its roughly $7 billion state funds into bitcoin as a way to help combat inflation and diversify its investments beyond traditional assets like bonds and cash reserves."

Incredibly bullish.

Calm down!

There are two positives: (1) It’s only November 14th and we’ve only played 3 games, and (2) the defense has been good, and the team looks well-connected on that end.

The play on the other end and the clear lack of roles, flow, or connectivity is not just bad, it’s alarmingly bad. We should be worried by what it looks like. We’re rotating ball handlers too much, we’re using DAW as our PG, changing combinations, it’s chaotic and so slow bc everyone is confused. It’s why we haven’t even hit 58 points in a game yet against MAAC, A10, and CAA teams. That shouldn’t be happening.

And we had what in that scrimmage against Willard? 52? 🤦‍♂️

If you want to feel better

Kadary came off the bench for the Johnnie’s. No idea why, but his last two games he’s combined for:


29 min / 2pt / 4reb / 7 ast
30 min / 3pt / 6 reb / 6 ast
Probably because they blew the doors off their first few opponents so wanted to work in different combinations against another mid-major.

I looked at the box score and Luis or the big kid who went nuts against Rutgers didn't start either.

Calm down!

No I don't see this as an NCAA tourney team but I see them getting better as the season goes on and actually not being as bad as they look now. Just get the offense going and we will be Okay. We will be competitive and we will surprise some teams and naysayers!
We did not look bad. Bad looks a lot better than how we have looked.

Lots can change. And I hope you are right.

We have an unprecedented number of new pieces to fit together. But 50 ppg so far is incredible to me.

State of the Union After 3 Games

Sha asked about message for the fan base: “Already? That question? I’m not sure how you guys want me to answer that question. I think that question is really not a good question right now. It’s three games in and you guys are worried about the fan base. Why would the fan base worry right now?"

Are you even serious now, Sha? Sorry, way down several pegs on the respect-meter from this alum / season ticket holder.
I agree. There’s a time and place for his brovado of how good a coach he is. Last night was not a time to spew the whole not worried nonsense. Gotta be able to read the room better than ghat

Don't over think it - we have no PG

I don’t know why we bailed on Garwey Dual so fast. He’s already benched by Game 3? In the opener he was very active all over the floor and posted 5 assists. There was some sloppiness, but I mean he’s a sophomore who was a backup at Providence last year. I thought at least he would get minutes and coached up.

Maybe there are other issues at play, idk. Sha said something about his shoulder? Strange.

Trump Ethics

so word on the street is trump is holding up the transition because he won't follow through with the ethics agreement.

how much of this is MSM backlash? not seeing a ton on more neutral platforms, but at the same time hes giving positions to his friends and has elon seemingly running things from behind the scenes whose company can be invested in by anyone in the world.
Truly hilarious to hear you mention ethics.... especially with "word on the street" type sourcing. Like the ethics (or lack thereof) the left has used for 9+ years to demonize Trump and lie about him and sabotage him at every turn.

And to hear Dem govs pledge "Resistance". Cry me a river. They just love living in their legacy media (I like that better than MSM) veiled parallel universe.
