Why do they need to be told constantly to stop shooting freakin 3's when they aren't going in and drive to the basket? Why do they have to go back over all of this defense and stuff? All of the players keep talking about how they know what they have to do blah blah blah but they aren't doing it.
No I'm not "knee jerking" because I really do believe that they will get out of this slump and have a great season. I'm just wondering why it's the same story every year, especially this early in the season.
I don't even come close to knowing as much about basketball as you guys' do, so enlighten me.
I heard Phil Jackzen quote Vince Lombardi one day about this and it does seem true.
