Game thread: Alabama basketball vs. Stanford

Man, did y’all see the guy grab an offensive reb over Petty, kick it out, post Petty up, then spin and dunk on him...? And that’s why he didn’t go to the draft and why he ain’t getting drafted! Unbelievable.
You will recall Petty had a very tough decision to make regarding the NBA. You know, with his well rounded play and consistent shooting from three (insert eye roll here).
 
Honestly the perimeter defense is not terrible, it's just that they're making highly contested shots. We have got to start making some baskets and forcing stops next half.
Right. We played bad the last 10 minutes of that half and it seems like they’re making everything. Contested or not. Gotta get going shooting the ball and get tougher on the boards. It won’t be easy but we can still climb back in this thing

I’m frustrated watching this too but it’s a little early to throw in the towel don’t ya think?
We should adjust and play a better 2nd half. Stanford looks good. And they’ve made some deep/contested shots.
 
Got to get through the first tv timeout without Herb or Q getting their third foul. That was huge and will very likely be a problem all year long. Bruner may be capable of hitting a three but I don't know that I want him launching too many of them.
 
Exactly same as last year. Zero difference. Except no perimeter shooting.
I’m not arguing that. But it’s a game and a half into the season. I think it’s pretty safe to say this team is not a finished product yet.

Just completely disgusted with the offense in the first half and the defense isnt far behind it . I knew I wasn’t going crazy when I said we had some major concerns with this team against jkst . Our performance thus far is piss poor . Looking like an Anthony grant coaches team . He’ll atleast he coached good defense , only one guy on there team is halfway decent which is fresh meat . We are making him look like a lottery pick . Just need a hand in his face and some pressure applied . I can already see if we don’t get out in transition and have to set up half court offense , our offensive production will suffer . Oats needs to throw something together and quick , cause it’s about time to hit the panic button . RMFT!!!

That fresh meat will be a lottery pick and is better than any player we have. That kid is for real.

almost every shot he has taken he had time to set his feet and shoot . I’m not sold on anyone who’s able to make shots your suppose to make .

Yea, said plenty over past few years regarding Petty. So I’ll keep it short. He’s weak with ball in every way. Can’t dribble more than once, bad/selfish shot selection. Be interesting how this year goes for him. I’m always rooting for him to improve, and play to his strengths (catch and shoot, when it’s a good time to shoot)

we shot 15 3’s in the 1st half, and had 1 offensive reb... somethings wrong. That’s not just a simple adj.
 
Our front court is pretty good. But holystanford theirs are great today

We just stood there in the halfcourt, zero off ball movement. That’ll create better shots and produce more offensive rebounds. Fairly simple..player movement off the ball.
