[SHUSA]

unis look good

odukale struggling

 

[NYC Pirate]

Keep trying this same substitution pattern. Momentum lost every time he tries it.

 

[SHUSA]

dawes is so spastic

 

[NYC Pirate]

lol maybe we need Samuel in there?????? 11-2 run,
Hall down 21-13 under 12 minutes.

 

[Hallball85]

Dawes takes more wild layups then anyone i have ever scene and already very tired of it

 

[SHUSA]

these players canr shoot 3s, cant penetrage, and cant post up.

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

these turnovers are an epidemic. have never seen anything like it
playing great D too..

 

[PirateFan94]

odukale struggling

He is an absolute zero on the court. 0 points, 0 assists, 1 rebounds and 2 turnovers. I dummy understand the minutes he gets.

 

[SHUSA]

this team loves throwing the ball to the other team

 

[SHUSA]

staying tough

 

[NYC Pirate]

Down 27-25. Samuel's inside presence keeps them honest. Good job by Tyrese in the first half.

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

physical D is saving us

 

[SHUSA]

BS foul call

 

[SHUSA]

dawes is never close on his misses

 

[NYC Pirate]

Down 37-34 at the half. Could have been worse.

 

[Powerful Pirates]

1/9 from 3… yikes

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

1-10 from 3 ugh

 

[shu09]

Good half defensively. Getting a bunch of points in the paint which help. Will need a lot of that in the second half. That's the recipe tonight - not going to beat them in a three point shootout. Have to be tougher defensively and get to the rim.

 

[NYShoreGuy]

Willard had poor shooting teams from 3, this squad as bad

 

[NYC Pirate]

Actually, good and bad in that half. Nice job getting Samuel involved in the offense. Very good
by KC with 4 blocks. They don't look intimidated playing there. So, they have a chance to win,

The bad 1-10 from three. Dawes 1-8 shooting. KC's offense. Femi and Richmond's turnovers. Poor free throw shooting.

Also, the few responses to the game thread could indicate that our fans may be discouraged the way things have
gone this season????

odukale struggling

He’s not struggling. He’s performing exactly as expected at this point.. it would be scary to see what struggling for him would look like.

 

[NYC Pirate]

The Hall are playing hard. Down 47-44 under 16 minutes. Guys need to play to their skillset
and we would be fine.

 

[shu09]

Colby Jones got jacked. Wouldn't be surprised to see that guy work his way to the next level.

 

[TomD82]

He’s not struggling. He’s performing exactly as expected at this point.. it would be scary to see what struggling for him would look like.

He reminds me of Molson. Just can't ever get untracked.

 

[NYC Pirate]

Ok we are right in there. Missing a ton of free throws again.

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

samuel a senior has to make that ft
comeon

 

[Gohall129]

refs have been abysmal the past few minutes. Called 4 straight fouls on us. 2 of which have been very questionable

 

[shudude]

comeon

How this Coach constantly sits Richmond and Samuel at the same time is mind boggling. We always go backwards with both of them out.

 

[SHUSA]

ball dont lie on that one foul. does dawes shoot with his eyes closed?

 

[NYC Pirate]

Why would Samuel ever be taken out of this game for more than a minute??

 

[SHUSA]

im rebounding the same from my tv as jackson is from the floor

 

[HallGuy23]

We stink. No size, no shooters, and endless unforced turnovers and fouls. Gonna be a rough season

 

[NYC Pirate]

Come on Sha the two times you tried this lineup have crushed it. Geez????

 

[PirateFan94]

These games are tough to watch. They play gritty but we could have a new nickname, the smurfs. We have No size. Getting destroyed in the boards.

 

[SHUSA]

tre on a mission to drop every awesome pass

 

[TomD82]

We stink. No size, no shooters, and endless unforced turnovers and fouls. Gonna be a rough season

This is a flawed team for sure. And no amount of coaching or system can overcome it like Dabol is doing with the Giants. Team is hanging in there trying to tough it out though.

 

[HallGuy23]

Tray has really let this team down. He should easily be a 12ppg player this year as our best shooter.. Instead he’s gone completely the other way.
