Calling @Gary-7

You guys ragging on @gary-7 about defending Wash is pretty lame. If you put Toyo off road tires on a Tesla model S you'd prolly think it was a crappy riding and driving car. Not much difference here. Wash is still a young player physically but he has crazy length and a great stroke. Problem is he seldom gets an opportunity to touch the ball anywhere near the lane unless it's to set a screen and there are very few if any plays designed for him to shoot anywhere. But the thing your missing is almost everyone on this team looks out of place and dysfunctional in games .. including the head coach which is where my true beef is. jmo
Man no doubt. Great last two sentences.

It's just a little friendly ribbing, maybe it wouldn't have the luster, if when someone disagreed with his stance if he would man up and discuss it, but that's not his style he would rather talk down to posters that disagree and belittle them. But he was wrong, about Washington, EC, and Hubert and now we all see that.

So if he's reading "I told you so"
 
It wasn't Cadeau he did this with. I forget who it was. He would be like he had 5 assists but a whopping 20 other blown assists today. (Every missed shot taken after the pass to them by the player).
Joel Berry. Probably andrew platek too. Now ec. But never any other non- favorite player
 
My goodness--what vitriol! I am one of those who enjoy reading Gary's "BS" after each game. Some of it I take with a grain of salt, such as his love of EC, but I enjoy his analysis of each game. For those on here who don't like him, just don't read his posts!

I have read Gary's write ups after the games and he is usually very accurate about what Carolina needs to do to improve. Have been involved in bball for 30+ years and this offense we are running is horrible. There is no movement, no post threat and too much dribbling the clock out. Defense seems not to talk to each other and there is no need to switch on screens, fight thru them. Just my 2 cents..
 
The difference with Gary is he doesn’t see things as a fan but as a coach. For example a terrible possession that ends in a bad shot (think Caleb since you guys don’t see RJ that way yet) that goes in. Gary sees that as fools gold where the midwit fan and most on this board see success. You can disagree with him if you like but if you use a stat to make a point without going deeper you aren’t even speaking the same language.

Yeah, I call those bad shots with good results, they do tend to be fool's gold because a bad shot is a bad shot, if you have to win many games hoping and wishing bad shots fall you are already beaten. In the same light, if you depend on inefficient players to win games for you the end has already been written, you just failed to read it.

The theory was that with a real PG and RJ playing most of his minutes at SG, RJ would be getting the ball a lot for open looks, and wouldn't have to work so hard to create his own shot.

That doesn't seem to be the case.

Last year RJ was great. He also had guys on the floor with him who weren't afraid to shoot.

It's not clear to me that RJ is any better at hitting the open shot than from creating his own, but even if he is, that doesn't seem to be happening.
