Game Thread: Pirates vs. Baylor

[shudude]

They're friends 😵‍💫.

Dawes shoots them out of games and his “friend” allows it

 

[NYC Pirate]

Equally alarming is giving up 7 threes already in the first half.

 

[Section112]

Bediako looking good. Glad he’s getting our bench guys some time. We are gonna lose but Sha is coaching them hard.

 

[LBP43]

Dawes is enabled by his coach. Unacceptable. I don’t know what to say.

Can say he is huge liability on D -huge
- not mention his horrid O

 

[catholicman]

We get burned on the perimeter over and over

 

[schultz1825]

Ha. Guess whose ball watching again on defense?

 

[hallstorm]

Tough call at the end of the half to give Baylor an extra 3. Could have been a 5 point turnaround.

 

[TomWall]

Just when we were getting momentum going int the half, Kadary falls asleep on D. Just maddening.

 

[Section112]

Kadary leaves his man way too many times. Gotta improve on that. We had some life there but Baylor can really shoot the three ball. Dawes has to be able to hit wide open shots which he had multiple times. Or sit him. He’s killing us.

No complaints regarding the refs until that call.

 

[STLPirate12]

Every time we go on a bit of a run we give up an open 3 to kill it...

 

[Piratz]

It’s crazy were only down 10 with our starting SG 0/7, 0/4 and being outshot 8/16 to 2/8 from 3.

You didn’t like the triple team in the post? Can’t expect to be great when you don’t play hard for every second you’re on the floor. So disappointing.

 

[PF58]

Stop on Dawes, this is about a coach who is missing it. I honestly don't know what Sha is doing with not sitting this guy. This is scary. Where's the coaching and I'm a Sha fan. Maybe at least a respectable 2nd half.

Dawes does not belong on the floor. His Starks finals moment is every game. He can’t hit 3’s. He can’t finish a layup. We’re better off giving sanders and Coleman all his minutes. Please Sha, don’t coach like the last guy. The eye test says he shouldn’t be playing.

 

[Hall Is Life]

Such a better brand of basketball when Dawes is on the bench.

 

[TomWall]

Other than Dawes, we are not playing bad. And Baylor is a top flight team.

Why ? It's our pattern. And if the pattern holds we will fall behind by 18 and then make a charge to cut it to 4 or 5.

 

[PirateFan94]

I just don’t know what Sha sees that Dawes does well. Other than his rare hot streak I don’t see any positives in his game.

Rhymes with Gadary.

Dawes has to have something on Sha, right?

 

[stipe65]

Hate to pick on one player when they are getting run off the court , but Dawes is a tough watch.

Not good when Gary Cohen is calling you out on radio. Several times.

 

[PirateFan94]

lol.

 

[stipe65]

Bediako looking good. Glad he’s getting our bench guys some time. We are gonna lose but Sha is coaching them hard.

Has to get more touches. When’s the last time we had a center with a soft touch hook shot.

Angel.

Best big man on floor so far. Baylor purely a perimeter slashing team

 

[catholicman]

O Dawes!

 

[Piratz]

Now Dawes is fouling 3PT shots 🤣🤣💀

 

[ivyhillparkk1963]

Now Dawes is fouling 3PT shots 🤣🤣💀

Inexcusable

 

[PirateFan94]

Omg. Not only does he not score now he’s handing them points at the line

 

[DrummerJerry]

Could Dawes be any worse? Don’t answer that.

 

[catholicman]

We should front Misi

 

[TomWall]

And that was a charge but called on Dawes.

 

[schultz1825]

Has Dawes done a thing that has helped this team tonight? Going to be a long season watching him.

 

[PirateFan94]

Our best chance is for him to foul out.

 

[stipe65]

Sha having Bediako chase outside to pressure is not a good plan

 

[PirateFan94]

They look so much better with him on the bench.

 

[catholicman]

Sanders stuck on the pine. So weird

 

[Hall Is Life]

Dawes in foul trouble is best thing to happen to us tonight. Love how we play when he’s on the bench. Team ball.
