Adam Gibson Not Performing?

Luke could be performing better. Sometimes he's a fumbly as a 13 yo boy undoing a bra strap.

eli1, you are wrong, Gibson's numbers are not what an Australian point guards should be. I know he played 2 good games, SO WHAT.
Grammer man, piss off and leave others alone, if you don't like reading others posts, toooo badd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

To the loser who recommends Gibson is under performing, needs his head read.

this is the man who is holding together the fabric which has been the adelaide 36ers years ago,

to suggest 'not performing'....hey, how bout rocking up to a game and actually watching what he does rather than come up with some sort of stupid thread that he under-performs.

tool= the dropkick who started this thread.u know who u are. and if he is credibly under perfoming, how so?

What has happened to the fast break? Seems to have become a rarity at NBL level, at least. When was the last time we actually saw a team run two players down the court wide in the lanes before cutting to the basket as a first offensive option?

Teams seem to think half-court game first - after which it is too late for a fast break. With their inside size 36ERS should be able to run all night - at least as a first option - but the first man down the court without the ball almost invariably runs to the centre of the court and pulls up at the point, successfully blocking everything up.

How about at least getting into an outside lane and running [not jogging or loping], then cutting to the hoop to give the ball handler a chance to hit you going to the basket? If nothing else - assuming you swing to the opposite wing - you've made the defence change position.

Or is that too simple?

I've been thinking this for quite some time, and have been reinforced by reading the recent comments from Ken Cole and others. [An hour of fast break? Doubt that happens!]

Of course, with a fast break the coach has little oportunity to call ball-by-ball plays from the sideline, so maybe it's about coach control rather than player effort, which is often what it looks like.

Call me grammar man but the comar

Let's not forget, that the coach has to put the player in the right circumstance to play well. Very talented roster but nothing to show for it. I think Marty might be better at developing players instead of knowing how to fit talented players together. He's very inconsistent.
