St. John's game thread

They ran a play for Jake.  Was supposed to be a pick and pop for Jake.  Gardner didn't set the pick...therefore no open shot.

Those 3 together is a disaster. Trying to say otherwise is worse than you thinking we could run the table with St Louis 16 wins.

I think I hear booing

[AirPunches]

Sad thing is....you are being nice.

I like Juan a lot but seems like weak drives to the basket, Ill advised threes, and air balled layups have become the norm when he's on the floor.

[brandx]

Looks like NIT will be a reach.

This has not been a top 64 team all year.

[nyg]

23 to 5 run after being up 8 to 2.

Juan is just brutal and has been all year.  Taylor misses two layups and Mayo is just not right so far.

Offense is stagnant, just passing the ball around and around and around.  Larger guards pressuring Dwil like crazy.

[Wojo'sMojo]

Sure had the look of a team ready to go 9-1 down the stretch  

[forgetful]

Pathetic defense from Jake and Juan.

Please explain to be what Jake did wrong on D.  Not being faster to out sprint a guy who leaked out early anticipating a rebound.  If so isn't that also on Jamil?

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Simply unbelievable how inept Juan is offensively.

It really is. It's gotta be so frustrating for him, it's clearly mental.

Alright, we get it. Losing is enjoybable to you. You live by the 4th grade "let everyone play" mentality. You support bad players

Unfortunately, MU has to have 5 out there. Mayo and to a lesser extent Burton, have looked like they're playing for St. John's.

[AZWarrior]

Why is our offense so ineffective?  Our scheme?  Our players?  A mismatch between the two?

Argghhhh but it's ugly.  

[LloydMooresLegs]

beast

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Burton is a tank.

[PGsHeroes32]

I think Burton has looked fine. He's missed some makeable shots but getting good looks unlike basically everyone else.

[AirPunches]

Was referencing that failed trap that led to the easy dunk. Was mainly just that play.

[Dreadman24]

Chalk this one up as a loss

[PGsHeroes32]

geez. Obepka is gonna get 10 blocks today.

[NavinRJohnson]

Chalk this one up as a loss

Ok.

[PGsHeroes32]

honestly, we gotta just run plays for Jake and let him chuck a few if we want to get back into the game.

Their d is too good.

[muhoops1]

We take low percentage shots and miss the high percentage ones when we get them.  When we miss shots the transition D can't keep anyone from the basket.

Also noticing MU is really guard able.  Saw it against PU and again today.

[PGsHeroes32]

Alright, what I said about Jake, Juan and Derrick toghether....the same goes for Chris instead of Juan.

Cmon Buzz.

[mileskishnish72]

Is it just me or isn't there contact on a lot of these so-called blocks?

[chapman]

Jake's coming up with some nice plays.  Things would be really out of control otherwise.

Have to account for shot blockers.  Easiest way is to get them in space, which requires making some shots.

No I just believe in assigning blame to the people responsible for it and assigning compliments to those that deserve it.  You believe that everything good comes from the people you like and all the bad things from people you don't like.

Instead of criticizing blindly, examine the game from a neutral perspective.

We've been awful so far, but if you think Jake is responsible for that, you're nuts.

[LloydMooresLegs]

wow was that a blow by-jjj move your feet
