Been at work and saw none of the game. Just going by the comments I've been reading and hearing this afternoon. Sounds like Lord Bruce decided no adjustments to the game plan were needed. If you aren't hitting 3's, you're bigger and stronger than A&M inside, so why not change it up and attack with Kess and Jabari from 12 feet and in? GH and GF texted me that KD was 0-14??? Fo realz?
KD has to get his early season scowl back by next week.
aTm had a similar game plan to the one that got them the W against Florida. Instead of using Jabari to work around that and open things up, we decided to shoot 114,329 three pointers in the first half. We did hit like 2 of them, for a percentage of 0.0000101+54164651651515 or somewhere near that.
Green did shoot us back into it late, but it was too late.
KD is in a funk and has been for a month. He needs to keep taking the ball to the rack and stop trying to hit the 3 and maybe they will come naturally later.
Oh, and today was the first time I have actually seen Jabari pressing. He was trying too hard to carry the team.
If Kessler can get the shoulder healed by next Thursday/Friday maybe some of that pick and pop game can make a return as well.
