Automatic?
« on: November 21, 2013, 07:44:45 PM »
Is 68% automatic?  I think we can stop this silliness now...

Probably gave him some extra confidence when it was just one section but with the whole student section doing it I think it's probably distracting him.

Never was a fan of the chant. If he was 40 lbs lighter and quick jumper he would be going for the old fashioned three point play and not taking two. He really could write his own ticket if he got himself in shape.

Infairness, he's gotten slimmer since he got to MKE - his heredity probably has a lot to do with it. I'd be happier with an additional 20# since it seemed to come with FT% in the 80's.

Don't think his body could go down another 40 lbs.

The only thing automatic tonight seemed to be his disinterest in the game.

Yes, what really worries me is he had the Jamil type attitude today. Never seen that of him, why would this be? But, regarding the automatic chant he is the one that told the students to do it, and as long as he asks for it  they should do it. I think it would be worse if he wants the students to do the chant and they don't do it.

As Gardner stood at the line for his first FT, CBSSports Network analyst Bob Wenzel called him a bad FT shooter. I laughed and told my wife Wenzel was an idiot. Garnder proceeded to make Wenzel look like he knew what he was talking about.

Ugh.

As bad as our perimeter players are, Gardner's play has contributed mightily to our offensive funk the last two games.

The chant now sounds ironic.

But you know what he was even worse from the field 1/6. So really the chant has nothing to do, must be something else. I'm going on a limb here, but could it be him being about 30 lbs lighter might throw off his moves and he needs to adapt? You know he might be some much quicker and that is thowing him off?

Funny.  I was going to post that the embarrassing thing is only the upper deck automatic bro's do the chant while the rest of the student body does the lame arm finger thing.  

The last thing I'm worried about is Davonte's FT's.

Who is worked up about it? It's a conversation. That's what a fan board is for.

If people are truly embarrassed, I would call that worked up.

Stop the f-ing chant.  It was stupid from the start and now it's not warranted.  It's not like he's Novak stepping up to the line -enough is enough.  Let the man focus.

This isn't "worked up"?

He likes the chant. If chanting is causing him to drop 15% on FTs, then he has serious problems. I hope we don't have to shoot FTs on the road!!

Just to clarify why automatic is chanted. I dont like it but Davante has personally said that he likes when the student section chants it. It has nothing to do with ruining his focus. He asks for it, end of story.
