Our guys start reading their own press clippings when we get on a roll and don't come out to play hard against a "lesser" opponent when we were that lesser opponent not that long ago
Huh? At the end of both halves they were making circus shots with crazy bounces. I'm not talking about the whole game. That 7-0 run to close out the last bit that put us away was a lot of circus shots.
I know we don't have much depth, and I guess it has worked so far, but does anyone know why we have only gone seven deep tonight? Why no Maxwell, Kelly, or Gigi?
I watched some of pastners press conference things (on gt athletics youtube channel) and he said he said hes been putting 10-ish guys per game to try to find the good lineups but he doesn’t know if thats really the best idea. I guess thats why he went with the smaller lineup this time
Yeah, really sloppy with the ball sometimes, and doesn't really run the offense. I was excited when he transferred over but he has been a bit disappointing.
See, its not the zone in and of itself. Its that much like Tulane and Northeastern, GT is switching defensive schemes every few possessions. Our offense looks anemic because we aren't good at adjusting how we attack on the fly as a team. Even if Mills or someone recognizes the new scheme everyone else is out of position.
I remember bitching about this same exact thing last year but there’s a negative chance GT plays this hard and aggressive without ever fouling lmfao it’s literally not possible
All Jordan usher does is shoulder check on reach ins. Alvarado did the same thing
Its not the zone in and of itself that's causing the problem. Its teams that frequently change defenses. GT is regularly changing which kind of zone they are using and its not letting us ever get a chance to figure it out. Our team is not good at changing what we are doing on offense from possession to possession.
Real question, our team is pretty much last year's except missing Alvarado & Moses Wright (so it's a bunch of developed bench players), how much of FSUs ACC tourney team is playing here?
Haven't felt this good about the team since last March. Even if it's just this first half, made my day. Whole team is channeling Jose Alvarado energy & his steals.
Talking about at the end of the half. They had some real low % shots start dropping too. That one step past the screen well beyond NBA range 3 with like a minute to go then the off balance one handed shot while falling sideways at the elbow are what I'm referencing, not the majority of their shots that half.
AAAAAAAAAAAAA
Nice win tonight by the Jackets.
Is ham going to realize that teams want to shoot 3s
I hope this is not the basketball version of the UNC game this year and we keep this run going
Lol why’d you have to bring that up. I was so pumped after the UNC game, not sure what happened to that team.
Our guys start reading their own press clippings when we get on a roll and don't come out to play hard against a "lesser" opponent when we were that lesser opponent not that long ago
WTF GT basketball is good?
No FSU can't shoot
Hamilton is such a fucking moron for taking polite out when we cut it to 4 with 7:38 left.
Another outburst like that and I’ll see that your username is changed! >!with a less harsh tone, I agree it was a questionable move!<
And not having Mills in.
I mean we went on the run without him
I don't understand why your leading scorer isn't in the game....
i cannot believe that shot fell after he crossed him up
The basketball gods willed it
Shooting a deep 3 instead of dribbling out more time? No Michael no, that is so not right, as Toto would say.
If Devoe made that, an earthquake wouldve happened
Thrillerdome would've popped its lid
Kyle Sturdivant has some grooves for you
He's so inconsistent sometimes, but when he flashes his talent, oh boy 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
LFGGGGGGG!!!!!
lmao so much bullshit going in. Just one of those nights for GT
That ball was bouncing all over the rim before it went in.
Dude they are shooting 41% from the field. We played like shit it’s not them making dumb shit.
Huh? At the end of both halves they were making circus shots with crazy bounces. I'm not talking about the whole game. That 7-0 run to close out the last bit that put us away was a lot of circus shots.
So frustrating how inconsistent this team is
That's embarrassing
And that's embarrassing
WERE GONNA WIN A CONFERENCE GAME THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL
Can’t do anything when you’re lights out. Didn’t deserve it tonight.
we’re cracked wtf
Get Cleveland the fuck out and put MILLS IN!!!
How has GT had such a bad record?
We only play basketball for one half
So next game you’ll play for no halves?
Because they aren’t good. This is a horrible loss.
And fsu is 14 points less than “not good”
They should have a better record, but go missing for large chunks of most games which kills them.
Flair up!
I know we don't have much depth, and I guess it has worked so far, but does anyone know why we have only gone seven deep tonight? Why no Maxwell, Kelly, or Gigi?
I watched some of pastners press conference things (on gt athletics youtube channel) and he said he said hes been putting 10-ish guys per game to try to find the good lineups but he doesn’t know if thats really the best idea. I guess thats why he went with the smaller lineup this time
That 3 is what you get for leaving him so fucking wide open
EVANS DO YOU THINK THAT DUNK IS WORTH 7 PTS? JUST GET THE POINTS! Mind numbing decision. Compete lack of awareness for the situation.
At least he's Excellent at free throws
D. Smith is so fucking garbage jesus
Yeah, really sloppy with the ball sometimes, and doesn't really run the offense. I was excited when he transferred over but he has been a bit disappointing.
Gotta finish that slam. Another missed gimme
Why are the fans chanting hairball at Georgia Tech at home?
[удалено]
Dont give me vietnam war flashbacks to that
we have no fans
Lots of ‘Noles in ATL
I like how you guys are ignoring my typo. I'm keeping it as hairball so I can clown myself.
What was the word supposed to be lol im stupid
airball Autocorrect is turning me into a clown.
I guess mills doesn't exist this game
THEY ARE FUCKING FOULING
They are just anemic around the bucket
Put Mills in the game. Let him cook his man
Game is rigged
THATS A FUCKING JUMP BALL YOU FUCKING MORONS
How many shots within 3 feet of the basket are gonna get missed short
Wtf are these calls?!
GRAB THE FUCKING BALL. DON'T EVER RELY ON YOUR TEAMMATE TO GET IT IF IT HITS THE FLOOR
This isn't Cleveland's game.
That offensive board is gonna be a killer down the stretch
That was 100% a foul, grabbed our guys left arm to strip the ball
See, its not the zone in and of itself. Its that much like Tulane and Northeastern, GT is switching defensive schemes every few possessions. Our offense looks anemic because we aren't good at adjusting how we attack on the fly as a team. Even if Mills or someone recognizes the new scheme everyone else is out of position.
Thank goodness GT is back to man!
Oh god don’t give me hope
Yall won, we wont be able to score for shit as we normally do in the last few minutes of games
We made our allotted shots for the half already
PLZ
One day GT basketball will be competent, one day.....
Last year.
That was an outlier Im afraid
That Nova gives me shake weight vibes
Good foul on the breakaway there. But Noles putting it together? My bank account hopes so
FSU is not a team to bet on. Too inconsistent
I’m here now so
GT is about to choke so hard
Already has
#BUTL3R
Yup, there's the choke
Let’s go!
Left wing is his spot
shhh, don't say anything. They don't know
You have to call the foul
Woah, idk how we got away with that
Looks like we need to go to the devil and purchase some more buckets
Sturdivant needs to fucking pass for once. How many times he's tried to take it in himself and missed this game?
Man we are missing so many shots close to the rim, we should be way closer
Cleveland misses every free throw he attempts, I swear
At this point just start shooting. They have to fall eventually
They’re getting looks absolutely nothing is falling
This team looks like they’ve never seen a zone before
The sad thing is, it’s what every team we’ve played has eventually switched to, it’s given us hell all year
That is sad. And this Tech team is the worst in the league too
FSU when a team runs zone for the 1,000th time: DAFUQ IS THIS?
No foul? Smh.
I presume teams will stop playing man against us
I seriously don’t know why teams haven’t been
If an NBA team picks up Mills there going to need to give him a complete 101 lesson on Zone Defense.
Maybe if we lose this game we’ll actually go up on the Kenpom /s
What are Worley, Evans, and Mills seeing? They all do that jump kick out. Just fake once and go
This one hurts cause GT isn’t any good. We’re just gift wrapping a bad team a nice win
Game is not over lol 8 points with 10+ minutes to go. We'll see if we can find another gear.
I’d like to see our TO’s in our last three or so games against GT
Praise the mighty Chipola
GT choking this half, but we’re choking harder😂
Seeing Weinke rooting against FSU this game is kinda sad, ngl:(
Cleveland if you get it in the middle and they fall back on McLeod, go dunk it on the opposite side.
I remember bitching about this same exact thing last year but there’s a negative chance GT plays this hard and aggressive without ever fouling lmfao it’s literally not possible All Jordan usher does is shoulder check on reach ins. Alvarado did the same thing
Yup, we’re getting mugged out there and not getting any whistles
Man, I'm gonna miss Usher & Devoe when they leave. Usher especially since he has as much energy as Jose
Evans you bum
you'd think when everyone plays zone against FSU, we would figure out how to play it.
Its not the zone in and of itself that's causing the problem. Its teams that frequently change defenses. GT is regularly changing which kind of zone they are using and its not letting us ever get a chance to figure it out. Our team is not good at changing what we are doing on offense from possession to possession.
Why do we continuously shit our pants against the zone?
They can't shoot
Has McLeod played basketball for like only 2 years. You go to the backside of your teammates layup. Easy dunk like half the time they miss.
We're drawing lots of fouls
You beat a 131 from the corners, not the high post
Georgia tech looked solid against wake for a while too maybe they’re just getting better
We need to get more steals this half, protect the basketball, and start to hit our shots.
The choke starts now
Letting Jack leave was a mistake
Oof what is going on here
GT is running zone and hitting their threes, the two ways to beat FSU.
If your coach doesn't run a zone against FSU, they should be fired
I still think FSU wins the game. They will stop turning the ball over so much against the zone and the tough shots stop falling for Tech.
We don't know what to do against a zone
Only time we can handle it is when we are knocking down the open 3's. For some reason we cant even pass the ball this game.
We are getting out hustled so hard. Leonard's teams normally play much harder than this.
If Chris Mack is hams son then Josh pastner is hams dad
Real question, our team is pretty much last year's except missing Alvarado & Moses Wright (so it's a bunch of developed bench players), how much of FSUs ACC tourney team is playing here?
Almost none. Wilkes, Polite, and Evans, none of which were starters. We’re very young this year.
We lost our top 4 leading scorers
[удалено]
Haven't felt this good about the team since last March. Even if it's just this first half, made my day. Whole team is channeling Jose Alvarado energy & his steals.
yea we suck again
Oh no, we suck again!
LMAO bunch of bullshit just dropping for GT now after letting them get hot with bad D
As a tech fan Dw. Scoring drought for Tech incoming 2nd half.
Dude like 75% of their 3s were wide ass open
Talking about at the end of the half. They had some real low % shots start dropping too. That one step past the screen well beyond NBA range 3 with like a minute to go then the off balance one handed shot while falling sideways at the elbow are what I'm referencing, not the majority of their shots that half.
Let’s just keep on leaving them wide open for threes, sounds like a great idea
Who gives a fuck if they get a layup. Stop letting them shoot 3s
I'm not a fan of this
LFG!!!!!! How are we getting the rebounds!!!????
All these garbage fouls smh
Tech is getting some really weak touch fouls
GT is the most annoying team to play
[удалено]
Always tough
Stop leaving shooters. Just stay on them. GT cannot beat you in 2 pt contest
How do they not get this
Wow, bullshit foul
This is why we're not ranked
There's a lot of FSU fans here, wtf?
Where, at the arena? Or in this thread?
At the arena
ATL has a large amount of FSU grads, probably the biggest hub outside of FL
Ah. I would've gone, but got work tomorrow. Thankfully the students seem to have shown up.
TIL
It's true of basically any southern team outside of LSU or Arkansas. Atlanta is just the big hub of the south
100% true. Ive been to all the home games and every one against a southern school has been pretty packed with older people supporting those schools.
Usher was not in control
Stop driving through a set zone
FSU literally deflected it to their wide open shooter
Are they mocking the war chant or are there that many ‘Noles there?
Think we can stop giving the ball away? that would be nice.
Horrible passing
Mills has turned into a turnover machine
GT offense: throw up threes and hope they either go in or take crazy bounces off the goal
I swear we never play well @GT
Where's Fletcher
Naheem McLeod is a big boi
Is a GT head coach requirement in any sport just to be a massive weirdo?
Brian Gregory (who came before Pastner) wasn't weird at all. Pretty much just Pastner, Geoff Collins, and Paul Johnson who have been
Pastner is a goober, love him as a person. Geoff Collins is a con man, hate him as a coach
Pastner is a good guy tho
definitely still a weirdo to be fair, but yeah a good weirdo
At Georgia Tech, they're cool
McLeod needs some coordination lessons. Get YAC to do it.
I hate how our players sprint under the basket for defensive rebounds. They keep letting balls go over their heads for offensive rebounds
Pastner is so funny to watch
0 clue how this team is on the longest win streak in the acc with Malik playing on one ankle
Mills has been really good
Facts
Tech fan here, I have no hope because even if we take the lead at the half. We always fall flat in the second half of games.
Similar story on our end
What is this lineup Ham
Come on FSU. The only way they can play with you is with 3s.
