I will start.....
When an opponent shoots the ball and our players just stare at the shot and don't find a player to block out and inevitably the ball hits the rim and the opponent gets the rebound. It's so fundamental to just find your man and put your body on him and box out. I know, if LSU is playing zone you don't have a man to block out, but have an area to block out. Well then, find a man in your area. EFFORT...... It's not there or they aren't getting the message. WW is to blame for this.

Sloppy, lazy passing.

Lack of fighting the boards but on rare occasion and only a couple of the guys seem to.

Lack of an inside presence, shot blocker.

Selfishness; everyone trying to polish their personal resume and not worried about winning.

That after FULLY recognizing it was LSU's fatal flaw last season Wade did nothing substantively to really fix the defensive woes. This team is almost as bad as last season's horrid performance and IMO, the only reason their Def. eff. ranking isn't worse is because they didn't play the usual number of mid-level OOC games that (though LSU would win) would further sink the ratings.

Last season we knew it would be a bit of a step back from 18-19. But this season was Wade's most talented group since that 18-19 and unless things change NOW, this group is going to woefully underachieve

Inconsistent energy and application which leads to horrendous defense and losses to less talented teams

They should have 5 or more wins than they do.

Lack of discipline for full 40 mins. Lack of consequences for obvious bad play and not being a good teammate. Lack of defensive mindsets for 40 minutes. There’s still a lot to like offensively but the quick contested shots at bad times are maddening.

Lack of ball movement; selfishness

The losses are the worst. Other than that, it's good.

Too much one on one.... NBA style Once that starts players without the ball just stand and watch. No team offensive plays at all.

The effort on defense just isn't there for 35 minutes out of most games.

I try to be progressive in my thinking on our offense, but it just irks me to no end the amount of one pass, quick contested shot possessions that we have. You can guarantee that if Thomas or Watford go three or four possessions without a touch, then as soon as they get the ball in their hands they will force a shot.

Do you actually watch games?

This goes to my point about shitty posters who have zero clue about basketball.

Watch how many times will wade calls plays.

Watch how many time we run screens for cam or watford.

The fact that we’re inevitably going to lose a heartbreaker in the tournament by doing something silly.
