Official Gamethread @ Iowa State

[twocoach]

Up 6 at half on the road without Agbaji and Remy is amazing, especially when you factor in how bad we are playing.

16 turnovers in one half is mind boggling.

Fine half. Iowa State isn’t great. Gotta not turn it over.

No, you can't be serious. So because KJ was standing on the perimeter on offense he suddenly isn't a BIG?

Some of you just can't accept being wrong. My god.

You might not know anything about basketball, so this is starting to make sense. It's the same offense we have run all season. Adams playing in Wilson's spot and Wilson in Och's spot. It's not a 2-big lineup. As has been said all year, KJ has the ability to play out on the perimeter.

So where does KJ need to stand on offense to be considered a BIG again?

What about defense? Is he considered a BIG on defense?

If we run our 2 big offense (high-low), then we are playing a 2-big offense.

Adams guarded a perimeter player for all of his minutes in the first half. Not sure what game you are watching.

This game is setting offensive basketball back by 50 years. My gawd.

ok, i lol'd

With KJ in we played

PG (DH)
SG (CB)
SF (JW)
PF (KJ)
C (Dave)

Why anyone would argue against that is very strange.

[pflynnku]

Dave shouldn't be allowed to dribble or pass. His TO's have cost us more points than he's scored. He needs to pull his head out.

Comments like these.
His first turnover he was getting pushed when he received the ball then kicked it off himself.
His second was JCLs fault for cutting one way and changing direction.
His third, well, dumb.

He wasn't pushed, he just dribbled the ball off his foot, and both passes were terrible. Why do you make excuses for every mistake Dave makes?

So he's not considered a big anymore because the other team doesn't play 2 bigs? Got it.

KJ Adams is a PF.

I would argue that. Those are NBA position designations.

Is Jalen a PF? Do you call him a big?

[pdub]

Because of dumb comments like "His TO's have cost us more points than he's scored".

Wilson had 4 turnovers.
Braun 2.
Lightfoot 2.
Pettiford 2.
All have scored less than Dave.

No JW is a wing.

We usually start

PG (DH)
SG (Och)
SG (CB)
SF (JW)
C (Dave).

Yea.
Not a great look.

How’s KJ’s back to the basket game?

Those designations don't even exist. I'd call it semantics, but you truly don't understand it. Adams has been playing Wilson's position in a 4-out offense. It's not a 2-big offense/lineup. It's inarguable.

When Mitch plays next to Dave for the few minutes that has happened, that is a 2-big lineup as we run 2-big sets.

[Deleted User 863]

KJ Adams is a PF. I don't care where he stands on offense.

So stubborn.

None of that addresses my comment. My comment wasn't dumb but accurate. Not saying he's the only one having a bad game. We should just feel fortunate that we're up 6 at half after so many unforced turnovers. Bill will have them value the ball more in the 2nd half.

[Deleted User 863]

4-out offense doesn't mean the guy at the 4 can't be a PF. LOL

[Qusdahl]

LOL!
