I'm quickly turning into a get off my lawn dude but damn, how do these kids play as much basketball as they do from 8-18 years old and shoot so incredibly poorly?
Black and Council behind the arc is something to behold right now.
Although they both hit a couple of clutch ones so credit to them.

If he's out he needs to be out. No more sitting on the bench. Get gone.
As for the rest of the team, I think it clicked last night. They still have to improve on defense but offensively they finally started doing what muss teams do and it paid off. I was ready to throw my cat through the tv after the first half of watching guys spread out around the 3 pt line and nobody slashing inside.
Thats the crap we see in muss teams when they hit a mid season slump. Everybody gets tired and lazy and just stands there.

Between the lack of movement and Devo throwing the ball in the stands a half dozen times, I was right there with you.
But the 2nd half adjustments were great and we started playing with a lot more confidence. Pinion had a +/- of 17. Him and Walsh stepping up have greatly mitigated losing Brazile.

Incredibly gifted athletes haven't needed to learn how to shoot because they've been able to "out athlete" people. Look at early Lebron.
When you can blow by everyone there is no need to develop. Now they are playing comparable athletes they just can't blow by.

AB's shot looks so ugly, I'm surprised he knocks down as many as he does

Beard's out at Texas.

Muss is at the top of their fans wishlist. I'm sure Texas will send out feelers at the very least.

I'm pretty sure Yurachek would fistfight someone over Muss. Gonna be an interesting bidding war.

Muss said he expects Nick Smith Jr to be out the remainder of the month

Either the skyscreamers are right or his knee is seriously messed up. The secrecy lends itself to the latter. My assumption is they think coming out with injury details would hurt his draft stock so all we're getting is piecemeal info. Either way I don't think we'll see him on the court anytime soon.

It's crazy how many air balls you see in the game today.

I don’t understand the secrecy unless it’s actually a bad situation. At this point people are going to assume he has knee problems instead of a knee injury.

I’m surprised Ricky Council hasn’t tried to rebuild his shot. He’s got too much upside to waste over terrible shooting form. He’d make so much more money with a passable jump shot.

Pinion is going to be the key in opening up the offense. I thought he looked good on defense as well. Did not appear to be a liability. And shooting is contagious. Having him on the court and draining some threes will hopefully loosen up the others. Would be nice for someone else to emerge as a decent 3 point threat though. I might be crazy, but I think Walsh could, he looks fairly decent on his uncontested ones. You can bet your arse he's working on it!! Love his effort and he's finally starting to find his rhythm out there.

I'd think seeing a specialist for this long means that he's doing some sort of rehab
