    Blown layups.

    Everyone seems to blow their fair share of layups this year. Especially Steve.

    Whether it's on the fast break or in the half court, it seems like all of our guys blow too many layups.

    If we took better advantage of the few easy point chances we get, we would be much closer to .500 than we are now.

    We sorely lack a good finisher.

    Cato drops too many passes.
    KT blows layups off of the out of control spin move or from being undersized
    Francis blows them because he does too many double pumps and up and under moves.
    Moochie blows them for being undersized.
    Cat blows them by taking off too early.
    Griffin lacks the soft touch inside.

    Ive noticed that the last several years. We blow a LOT of layups. Missing because you are undersized may be a good excuse but some of them are ones that should have been easily made! Ive seen wide open layups missed. There have been many times I have watched and wondered...now why didnt he just slam that one home instead of laying it off the glass only to have it bounce around the rim and out. If I was Rudy...layup drills would be implemented.

    I hear ya.
    Sunday nite against the Lakers was a good example of blown layups. but having a 7'2" 350lb center standing in the lane might make alot of people miss... :)

    You probably mean that he is too soft inside.
