Let's go Pitt!

 

[docpanther26]

It’s the runnin Panthers!

 

[DruidTM]

The Zoo is loud n’at

 

[docpanther26]

The zoo sounds great!

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

This game isn't very easy on the eyes. If we decided to wear blue, I wonder why Florida State didn't have to wear white.

 

[DruidTM]

Surrenders 10 point lead ???

Come on

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Dear Nelly.... Shoot less.

 

[DruidTM]

17-2 run FSU??? WTF guys??

 

[Black Panther]

Got to get some people under the boards to rebound

 

[PittPharm2002]

Dear Nelly.... Shoot less.

The offense always stagnates when he just thinks he’s the show

 

[docpanther26]

Ugly, poor shot selection, not in rhythm.

 

[DruidTM]

Pitt playing careless

 

[Pittisit4me]

If we are kept out of the lane, and aren't making threes, we look really bad. FSU is smoking and will cool off.

 

[UPitthoops]

Hinson struggles on defense.

 

[Pittisit4me]

Well, I hope they will cool off.

We have no answers on defense right now
They really aren’t doing anything special - just spacing and we keep sagging off

Dude that makes no sense. Thats true of every team that play basketball at any level. If you cant score inside or outside you look bad. My question though where else can a team score points?

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Can't help but imagine what Dior Johnson taking some of Cummings' minutes might look like.

 

[Dointhatrag]

15-5 Pitt to 32-23 FSU ouch

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Seems like we're getting the calls and winning the hustle battle... And we're still down.

 

[UPitthoops]

Nelly need to stop shooting

 

[docpanther26]

FSU shooting 60%…wow

 

[Black Panther]

Way out of control.

 

[DruidTM]

Come on PITT this is a 6 win team …

 

[Black Panther]

Nelly need to stop shooting

At least so quick in shot clock.But yeah...

 

[Dointhatrag]

Cummings 1-7 and 0-3 three pointers. I’m ok Hinson shooting out of a slump I’m ok with but Cummings needs to create assist opportunities

 

[Pittisit4me]

We have no answers on defense right now

They are making their share of tough shots now.

 

[Protes]

Several of our guys lose composure at times and become trigger happy. No passing, quick shots without even looking for a quality look.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

We need to tell Cummings to start aiming for the shot clock. Maybe a few will go in by accident.

 

[docpanther26]

What the hell are we doing out there???

 

[Pittisit4me]

Hinson needs to sit. His head ain't in it.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Hinson plays like he's on a step count. I mean he goes through stretches where he barely moves.

 

[UPitthoops]

I agree. His is liability right now

 

[docpanther26]

Nelly couldn’t throw the ball in the ocean right now, but he has to work out of this.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Makes sense that a team with length would mop the floor with us. What advantage do we have on them? We're not fast or tough either.

 

[docpanther26]

Need to figure this out at the half. FSU defense not doing anything special but we have zero offensive flow.

 

[Pittisit4me]

This was bound to happen. DT brought up and I commented in the GT dribbles that we were concerned about how being a dribble drive team and jump shooting team might be a detriment against some teams at some point. Well, when you have a hard time getting in the lane, and brick 3's this is what you get. The defense hasn't been good, but, they are making everything even heavily contested stuff is going in. It's going to be hard to claw back with the offense stagnating and throwing up jumpers late in the clock.

 

[PittPoker]

He's been beyond awful. Capel really should tell him not to shoot anymore 3's this game and I'd argue not to shoot at all. He's killed us. And Hinson is a shell of what he was the first 2 months of the season. He's been terrible. I'd like to see Guillermo play a lot more in the second half and let Burton run the show.

Need to move the ball more and have it end up in the hands of Burton, Hinson and Elliot (today's recipe)

 

[docpanther26]

Nelly’s forcing things very similar to early in the year. Needs to focus on running the offense and getting assists.
