One of the main problems today was Tennessee spending the first 20 seconds of almost every possession doing nothing. You can't expect to do much against a quality defense playing with a 15 second shot clock.

You are absolutely correct Hat. This team has more aimless movements on offense, than any I have ever seen.

Aimless movement describes the Flex beautifully...

Also in the first half we had serious issues with spacing. Too many times we have 2 or 3 guys in or around the same spot. And even colliding with each other at times...

Brian Williams was getting better and better every game, but now has flatlined and regressed on defense. He won't defend down low if his live depends on it. I thought he got lucky getting too far above the block. Memphis never really took advantage of it. However, his defense 5ft from the basket allowed him to set an amazing pick for Memphis, giving them that easy lay-in at the worst time possible.

He did look better tonight. When he stays in his element he contributes well. Much like Chism.

10. Wayne Chism continues to confuse. He wears Memphis out inside, then wanders the perimeter on the biggest possessions of the game.

If Chism could show up for 40 minutes a game he could be every bit a top 20 pick in the draft. His early foul trouble is something that a Junior shouldn't have trouble with. Once again, for the first half against a mediocre Taggart he doesn't show up. If we could have found him sooner in the 2nd half when he was crying for the ball, I think we would have won yesterday. Still, I totally agree about his inability to dominate the post in some of the most critical times of the game.

The flex offense is useless a great majority of the time it seems.

Couldn't agree more with #2. Give Memphis credit for playing smart, keeping the pace slow, draining the shot clock, and shortening the game. But we certainly could have extended and pressed and perhaps taken a 6 or 8 point lead into halftime.

The thing I keep coming back to is Anderson's 3-pointer at the end of the first half. Huge momentum swing. He doesn't make (or get) that shot, we more than likely win the game. I hope Bruce tore them a new one in the locker room about playing every second of both halves.

It is amazing how people learn a new word and then use it to label all that is wrong with the world. There is nothing wrong with the Flex as an offense. If you don't set screens it doesn't matter what offense you run. If you don't move without the ball, it doesn't make much difference whether you aren't moving in the Flex or the Motion. If your guards can't, or won't, break anyone down off the dribble, and can't distribute, and can't shoot if they did, the Xs and Os become a bit irrelevant.

Exactly, this team is devoid of guard play. Bobby maze doesn't look to create anything, just aimlessly dribbles around, no perimeter game to speak of. Just pack it in like memphis did and make our bigs beat you. It was actually working until tyler started throwing up wild shots.

Bobby Maze = Stephon Marbury?

That is exactly what I told a friend who was with me.

Why can we not make an entry pass to the block? Sometimes I don't blame Chism and Tyler for floating out to the perimeter. We absolutely have no rythm at all on either end of the floor.

Go back and read all my posts about our guard play...you'll see what I know or don't know.

Thanks for attempting to act like you know what you're talking about though.

Aimless movement does not describe the flex beautifully. I have no idea what you know or don't know, but that statement--the one I quoted--is wrong.

Apparently you don't know much... because aimless movement doesn't describe any type of flex (the motion or the modified that Bruce uses) in an X's and O's sense.

I've saw it in almost every game thus far. This team does not run the flex well...and there is a lot of aimless movement going on with this team. Terrible spacing, and bad guard play have made this version of the flex look atrocious.

That doesn't mean the flex itself is all about aimless movement. Which is what you said.

Is there any one on the bench that can shoot the three? If someone could step up and make a shot the whole attitude of this team would change along with everyone else. We have enough athletes on the floor to find a little white kid on the wing or corner to knock down a shot or 2?
