re: Everyone- Stop being so critical of Coach Jones

Yes, they do look good when they're on. But most nights we are being outmuscled and out-athleted by most SEC teams. Especially on the perimeter. That is serious problem late in games. Every team knows that if they staycclose they can beat us. That's why they sit on the ball. Nobody's getting they're own shot and that's ability, not coaching.

Neither of those boys are on JOB's level yet. We don't have a center. That's also a problem. This team has way too many holes. People aren't using their eyes.

We lose because you keep predicting us to win you a-hole. You're a fricking jinx South pls stahp.

Putting aside the talk of how many legit/fringe/star/journeymen NBA players we may have - Do you feel this team has underachieved/is underachieving?

Legit question. My answer is yes, I definitely thought going into the season we would be anywhere from a 7-10 seed in the tourney. Now a) there's still a CHANCE, albeit tiny, that we could get a 10 seed and b) personally, looking around the country and watching other college basketball games night in and night out, I put way more blame on the players. I watch on average 5-6 other basketball games a week. What I see is a lot of individual, play-making basketball. It's gotten to the point in college where there aren't a ton of set plays that just automatically work, so you have to have players who can break a defense down. I think this is an area LSU lacks badly. And I keep saying that if Mickey and Martin were NBA players, they should be able to score at any given point.

Hes terrible.

I'm not talking about the very end of the game, I'm referring to the last 10 minutes of the half. If you say shot selection hasn't been an issue with this team, I don't think you've been watching the same games as me.

I haven't the foggiest idea how you could read what I said in response to the text I quoted and come away with what is quoted above. I don't even think I used the term shot selection. Just saying that if you actually watched the game, you'd see that we didn't "settle" (properly so-used) for threes. We got left with them twice, though.

Also, if down the stretch isn't the end game scenario when it was tied or we were down 2-5 points, you aren't using down the stretch properly.

but it's nice to have 1 or 2 AFTER THE GAME IS OVER to fall back on

Calipari specifically said that he did that because he was trying to teach them a lesson after getting a stupid technical and to play through it.

So have you ever asked, or heard anyone ask CJJ why he does it?

Fans should be critical of JJ, whether he's successful or not. It's our job, and our right. Don't make it worse, though, man.
