I have not seen a game this year (and will not until Lee is fired), but I saw enough last year to know Mike's analysis is spot on. We are not a good shooting team. We miss open shots all the time. Yeah the offensive sets are crap, but no one on this team is a good shooter...period. We also are one of the weakest team I have ever seen. This is shown by missing point blank shots in traffic and getting creamed on the boards. This team is not good at anything.
Not only is Lee a horrific coach, but he is a poor recruiter. We have no floor leader and no difference makers. We may have a few nice pieces, but I do not think any coach in the SBC could win with our talent.
Well, you are then basing your assumptions on what you saw last year and I haven't seen a team play as poorly as last year's team. To say that nobody on this team is a good shooter is a stretch. If we had viable offensive sets where we were able to create open shots, I think you'd see better production. At this point, its hard to argue but our shooting is not what is doing us in. We are shooting roughly the same percentage as our opponents and we shot over 40% tonight. What is killing us is our FT shooting. If you are basing your comments on last year, there were no open shots and guys had to try to create their own shots which proved worthless.
Brad Boyd is the answer!!!

We are surely not without talent... but we have less talent than we all thought we did when some of these guys were signed. Most are athletic, but that does not equate to being a good/talented basketball player. Several are tall, quick and can jump... but cannot shoot, which is pretty basic for basketball. Others are tall, but can't rebound and have very little offensive ability.
With that said, Coach Lee has done a TERRIBLE job of using what he has. They don't seem to be able to run an offense... can't block out... can't rebound consistently... and often don't defend. Oh, and they take TERRIBLE shots WAAAAAY too often. I'm not a basketball guru by any stretch, but that all seems to point to coaching... or a lack thereof.
