tomzip Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Nevermind this team has got to start knocking these down if that is the only offense they will run. Kretzer and McAdams have got to be better, they need to be those guys that hit the three ball when wide open...you know the type: that an opposing team has, and when they get an open look we go "oh no" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zestycoyote Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Carmelo is playing a pretty good game, driving and dishing for some easy layups. He's had some nice assists. He still can't score / is error-prone, even against an inferior team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Keith is really ripping into Quincy over there on the bench after that crazy, off-balance 3-pointer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 The best thing about this game was that they let them play and there weren't that many fouls called, so the game was over in less than 1 hour, 45 minutes. While there was uninspiring team play at times, some of the players showed progress. Melo had one of his better games. If he can get 5 assists to 1 turnover, I don't care if he doesn't score. He made some brilliant moves and passes in the paint to our bigs that led to sure points. More of that, please. Nyles continues to struggle with the PG mentality, getting only 2 assists and missing 5 of 6 shots. But at least he also committed just 1 turnover. It's still too early to write off Melo completely, as Q shares Nyles' struggles adjusting to the PG mentality. Deji had one of his best all-around games, finishing tied for Zips 3rd best scorer and rebounder in this game. He also had a steal, a block, an assist, no turnovers and just 1 personal foul. You can see his confidence growing along with his PT. He even got to play the last couple of minutes when Coppin State started making it close, and knocked down 1 of 2 free throws when it mattered. His cringeworthy factor is approaching zero. Obviously Reggie and Jake had good games, with each hitting half of their 3-point attempts. When they're hitting 3s, the Zips are in good shape. When they're not, the team has to adjust and let others carry the load. Overall the Zips looked a little tired and lethargic after their recent NBA-type game schedule. I don't expect a lot of difference in the Marshall game. Then they get a week off to prepare for the MAC season, where we all hope to see a more organized and consistent approach to winning. As Coach Dambrot said in the postgame interview, this team is still suffering the effects of the lost of Abreu at the point, and it's going to be a challenging season all the way to the end.

johnnyzip84 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Coppin State had a couple of nice players, with Murray and Armstrong standing out to me. I thought the Zips got the benefit of a few whistles, but "Fang" Mitchell could stand to lay off the whining after every call. It's hard to say if this was a step forward or a step sideways tonight. The chemistry of the big 3 still concerns me. But I'll admit guys like Deji and Pat are improving their play with seemingly each new game. I would love to see Melo continue to drive and dish against Marshall on Thursday. This will tell me if he can be effective, in spurts, versus the MAC. I think we're in for a roller coaster ride from here on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Overall the Zips looked a little tired and lethargic after their recent NBA-type game schedule. I don't expect a lot of difference in the Marshall game.There better be! Back when the mac was a good basketball conference Marshall/Akron games were awesome! I circled this game on my calendar back in August when I found out about it. Step it up boys!!! :gun: As Coach Dambrot said in the post game interview...it's going to be a challenging season all the way to the end.Very telling. One of my favorite things about KD is his post game interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
