Clemson game thread

Given BJD’s recent history with game threads I think it is a good idea to mix things up. I think we win this one by 13. The first half stays close but we pull away in the second. This starts our run to finish 11-7 in the conference.

    Is Howell sick? On that last possession, he was just walking into the frame as we ran an offensive set. WTF?

    Well, we are still in it despite some really sloppy play.

    TJ Warren having another pitiful showing on the road. He’s pretty much been useless on the road.

    The word sloppy does not do this hot mess justice.

    ‘Tigers shouldn’t be feeling too good… they are playing almost as badly as we are…

    Tyler and Brown seem to be making some important connections..
    they are going to be our best backcourt combo from now on…

    Get it to 5 or 6 at the half. That’s key.

    We’re still in it because Clemson has been only marginally better than us so far.

    Another thing is that it seems that Wood has lost his touch from the outside. Teams seem to know this and are packing it in under the basket to interrupt the flow. If he could bang in some threes, the team will be able to flow better in the lane.

    It’s fine to criticize Leslie, but I think he’s trying to carry this team – per the coach.

    It’s hard to believe, but we haven’t gelled. Lack of leadership will do that to you. Dam* it.

    Defense. It’s gotta start with defense. Get some stops, then you can run some. We’re good when we run and moderately disinterested when we can’t run.

  11. Wulfpack 02/10/2013 at 1:19 PM #

    And Wood gets used.

  12. Rick 02/10/2013 at 1:20 PM #

    WBS cuts it to 5

  13. bill.onthebeach 02/10/2013 at 1:21 PM #

    now Brown passes to Lewis…

    they are playing “together”…

  14. Tau837 02/10/2013 at 1:21 PM #

    Lewis with a nice three followed by a stupid drive and shot on consecutive possessions

  15. Rick 02/10/2013 at 1:21 PM #

    And then Woo gets abused

    messy

    I’m sorry but I’m disgusted by this team. I do my best not to bad mouth the players but over half this team’s body language every game shows they’ve given up. They are getting out hustled EVERY game since the Duke win. What a freaking waste.

  18. Rick 02/10/2013 at 1:22 PM #

    Get a stop and come back and play a good second half

  19. Wulfpack 02/10/2013 at 1:22 PM #

    Brown and Lewis rescued us. Got a chance.

  20. JohnGalt78 02/10/2013 at 1:22 PM #

    Braveheart!

  21. BJD95 02/10/2013 at 1:23 PM #

    Six it is! Yay.

    Remember somebody suggesting we use WBS at the two? 😀

  22. wufpup76 02/10/2013 at 1:23 PM #

    Huge hits by Lewis

    CU dominated that half and executed the gameplan they wanted, and we’re only down six.

    Silver linings and stuff.

    Agreed on the body language. It seems like something else is going on. Leslie is the worst for it. He slumps the whole game.

    Smoke if you GOTT ’em….

    for an early morning game… we are good shape….

    “nervous’ on the bench…
    CALVIN got a dunk,,,
    Tyler and Lo working together well.
    No turnovers last five minutes…

    Just someone wake Rich up and we’ll bring home the V…

    I don’t think this team plays for one another.
