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.

      Young wins NFC Offensive Player of the Week

      By mav1234 · Posted

      They may be meaningless in the sense of wins and losses but this team isn't yet at a place where that is honestly all that matters  It's full of young players that need to make progress for us to compete consistently and this (multiple players in a year getting it) is evidence that's starting to happen.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      This argument takes nuance, but I see both sides of it.  Bryce's good games, he's one of the best in the league, without a question. Lately, his really good games have been few and far between, though we are riding on a career best day last week. His bad games are not NFL quality. Hard to argue that as well.  He reminds me of Cam Newton in one way. They are both such statistical anomalies that evaluating them can be extremely difficult. QB roulette is absolutely no path to success. Furthermore, we have literally watched our franchise recently let 3 QBs go that left and proved they could still do it at a high level. I definitely give Bryce this season, and probably next season.  If Bryce can be the good version of Bryce more consistently it's crazy to let him walk. With the inconsistencies too, I think we could probably get a team friendly deal. If he can't bring next year's roster to the playoffs, he's not the guy, period.  I do think Bryce is always going to be a guy that requires a quality offensive line due to his physical limitations. I think we can do it, but it's a factor to consider.  You have to account for that money, and Damien Lewis, Robert Hunt and Taylor Moton are all between 28-31. If he's our guy for the next 10 years, it does appear he's going to have a top quality #1 receiver to get the ball to.
