We're the worst first half team I've ever seen. The problem is that it's really hard to beat decent teams when you wait until halftime to start playing. Hubert has to figure this out. It's been this way all season long.

They're just copying the Hornets. They have the same issue.

Bacot was the only Heel that showed up in the 1st half. We'll likely make a game of it in the 2nd half but I think we probably dug too deep of a hole to crawl out of.

It's our guards. Our guard play in the 1st half is atrocious and has been all year long. R.J. Davis in particular. It won't surprise me if he drops 20 in the 2nd half and UK fans are like, "Wait... who the fug is THIS guy???"

So, Hubert needs to recruit guards? That should be fairly easy since the NBA is a guards' league.

Nah, he just needs to figure out how to get these guys to come out of the locker room ready to go. The guards will look night and day different this half and we have to figure out how to get them to play in the 1st half.

An Achilles heel of this team is that they lack a true natural PG. Love and Davis both are best suited off the ball. But that's not going to get fixed this season.

This is an issue with most guys playing PG these days. Nobody wants to run the offense and pass. They would rather take the shot themselves.

You can be a scoring PG, but you gotta have vision and be able to create for others too. We don't have anyone on this roster who can. Honestly, most of our really good PGs have been good scorers in their own right. You gotta go back to freshman Kendall Marshall to find a really good UNC PG who wasn't a good scorer himself.

It's the Tennessee game all over again. Just pitiful effort.

We always suck in the 1st half but usually get our act together in the 2nd half.

It's just hard for this team to get right during a game because we have no creators. We have no ability to create easy shots. We run a motion offense with no motion. Defense is optional.

Roy blamed himself for not being able to motivate these kids but I hope he's understanding now that he wasn't the problem. This is just a flawed roster and it's flawed primarily vat the PG spot.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
