  1. Frustrating 4th quarter. We battled though. Not sure why we went away from Noah who as giving us great energy in the first half... This team is still learning how to play with Rose. He breaks down a defense with ease and finds himself in no man's land with no cutters or guys flashing to the hoop. I could also do without Gordon overdribbling and bouncing it off his foot leading to an easy transition basket for the other team. He was doing just fine scoring by moving without the ball and spotting up.
  2. So Weis has to be on the hot seat now right? If they fire him, they should do it quickly to salvage the recruiting class and so they can go after the top candidates before they're all taken.
  3. Griffin is putting up video game numbers. After his 35/21 today he's up to 26.0 PPG and 19.75 RPG.
  4. "Schematic advantage" just becomes funnier and funnier with every passing week of Notre Dame football.
  5. Ben can't run a team to save his life.
  6. Randolph is like a human pterodactyl.
  7. It's extremely refreshing to see a player who comes in on the floor and knows his role (Hunter) and defers to the real floor general on the team in Rose. Take notes, Gordon. You're useful but not when you dominate the ball when Rose should be setting you up to succeed.
  8. The lay up drill these last few games has gotten pretty annoying.
  9. Gordon has horrific point guard skills. He can't finish at the rim, can't dish, and is generally uninterested at passing unless he's already left his feet and has nowhere to go.
  10. This team commits mind boggling errors way too often.
  11. What exactly is Vinny seeing out there that makes him think "Gee, leaving Hughes in seems like a good strategy!" I'm seriously getting emotionally distraught over how much playing time he gets. Why can't these clowns get it? HE. CAN'T. PLAY.
  12. Gordon's been brutal so far this trip. Really selfish basketball...which wouldn't normally be that bad except his shots aren't falling.
  13. Vinny confuses the hell out of me. Rose, Gordon, Thabo, Hughes, and Gooden to start the game?? WTF?
  14. We just screwed up a 4 on 1 fast break somehow. Brilliant.
  15. Bump. Golden State might put up 150 on this defense tonight.
  16. The last few years UCLA would go through scoring droughts. I suppose every college team does but I don't know if any other top team puts as much pressure on itself to play 40 minutes of great defense. And I agree about Holliday. He's very smooth and probably needs more freedom to create his own shot. Sadly, he seems a lot further along than Derozan :/
  17. I saw something glancing at the TV about Texas Tech and 167 on the crawler and figured it was a stat for the football team's scoring output in the last 3 or 4 games.
  18. The Ben Howland patented craptacular offensive game. The guy can flat out coach a man to man defense but UCLA has wayyyy too manny scoring droughts given their talent level.
  19. That post is relevant because of all the Pac 10 fanboys on this board constantly pumping sunshine about how great the conference is. Next you can explain the rocket science behind how a 16 team conference ends up with a lot of good teams.
  20. Also, DeRozan is still pretty far away. He has zero confidence in his handle.
  21. Good god USC just gagged against Seton Hall. They were up 43-28 at the half and lose 63-61 because of some of the most putrid offensive basketball I've ever seen (which is saying something because I watched the Bulls game last night).
  22. Bosh would be great. But for whatever free agents we're targeting I think we need to prove that there's more on this current roster besides Rose because they can always stay home for extra dollars. I want to be on the upswing heading into the 2010 offseason and not treading water.
  23. It's not the end of the world because we've got a bonafied superstar in the making. Imagine if we ended up wit the 9th pick like we were slotted to though? We'd be gunning for Kornel David, Khalid El-Amin, Dalibor Bagaric, Dickey Simpkins, levels of putridity.
