Nah.
It was hyperbole, but that's player Danny. Coach Danny is a curmudgeon.
Nah.
We're essentially playing 3 on 5 on offense when Moore and Sarr are both in there. There are times when this lineup may work, especially defensively, but teams eventually adjust against it and figure it out. See last night and VT. I know there's no perfect solution given that we don't have any good 4s on this team, but would like to see Manning mix it up a little. Literally do anything. Moore, Sarr, and Thompson do not need to be playing 74 minutes. Let's not even talk about the fact that Chaundee played 5 fucking minutes last night - that's a whole different story. And Sarr and Moore played the best they have together all season last night. So maybe they are figuring it out and it's a good change of pace to play them together for 5-10 minutes a game. Give Sarr some of Thompson's minutes. But playing 2 traditional bigs the whole game is just not gonna work in the long run. Once NC State started playing 4 guards, they literally got whatever they wanted on O, spread us out and got wide open shots. We just got lucky they missed a lot of them.
I swear if I see that double ball screen one more time where Moore and Sarr both set picks for the ballhandler I'm breaking my tv. WTF is this shyt. Looks like something a middle school team would run. It's probably the easiest play to defend I've ever seen - have one defender hedge the screen and one sit back in the paint. Have we scored a point off this play all year.

Moore and Sarr played 29% of the minutes and scored 38% of the points last night. Moore and Sarr were in the top 3 scorers. If we are playing 3 on 5 with Moore and Sarr together then Moore and Sarr are part of those 3.
Cool little stat there bud. I wasn't trying to rag on Moore and Sarr - they both played well last night. My point was playing them together clogs up our entire offense. We shot 38% from the field last night playing almost exclusively 2 bigs. It's not about placing blame between the guards and the bigs. It's on the system.
Not sure of your point. Lineups with Moore and Sarr were +5 on the day. I think they were on the court together for the 15-0 run. The biggest drought happened in the last two minutes after Sarr went out.
I'm not sure how having Moore & Sarr on the court at the same time hurts our offense. If anything, it should give our shooters more open looks on the perimeter. Of course, when you shoot 1-10 in the 2nd half, that may not be a good thing.
My only real concern with playing Moore & Sarr together, as I have stated before, is how it impacts the substitution patterns... The lineups with neither of them on the court are flat out terrible, and neither of them usually play more than 20-25 minutes a game. That leaves a lot of non-Moore and non-Sarr minutes.
Are you really trying to use a 3 possession sample size to prove your point that a 4 guard lineup wont work? I'm not saying I have all the answers and fwiw I prefer the Moore/Sarr combo over Moore/Thompson. But when 5 of your best 6 players are guards and your refuse to go small (even for a few minutes a game) when the matchup calls for it, you're not going to have success in the long run. Manning's played almost exclusively 2 bigs in conference play and we're a few possessions away from being 0-6. You should apply for a job on Manning's staff, you'd fit right in with the crew of brain busts.

Not sure what game you are watching. Plenty of awful 4 guard lineups this season. Playing big is much more successful on offense and defense.
wait is someone arguing FOR the 4-midget offense and AGAINST Sarr and Moore?
yeah man Chaundee's a fkin midget. Dude needs to hit the weight room!
He's not in the 4 guard lineup. He barely sees the floor.
