Bazz's body language

[Joobie]

I know y'all aren't waiting for my take, but I feel the need to share it anyway
The only player I am consistently annoyed at is Ryan Boatright. Dribble, dribble, dribble...don't pass to the open player...& make some spectacular OR boneheaded move! AARRGGHH! I spend most of the game yelling at my "smart TV" for Ryan to pass the ball! I thought Amida played VERY well last night. I like that Kromah is starting. I think Neils needs more touches. Bazz didn't look like himself (until he hit those back to back 3's). If I'm KO, I am furious over the lack of defense played in the last 3 minutes...D'Andre had a MONSTER game!

This is parody, right? Wasn't close? We shoulda beat Houston and Stanford by 10+. Let's put those in the win column as well.

What ? We were down by like 20 to houston. That's a loss. We were never in control of either of those games you mentioned. I would say we beat Harvard 7 times out of 10. Do you just look at the box score and b1tch about how we didn't win by a large margin? do you actually watch games and ever take positives out of them? News flash close games aren't necessarily signs of doom. Things happened defensively yesterday that simply did not vs Texas teams and stanford.

Funny, he's the only member of the team whom I would give a passing grade over these past three games. He has his faults--as do they all--but to my eye he's the only one who has played with consistent toughness and energy over this miserable stretch.

this is a joke right? lol

No, it's not a joke. Bazz should not have to play 39 minutes for us to win.

He's gassed. He can't play 2-on-1 when he's the 1. They trapped him every ball screen tonight, and I don't think he ever gave it up the screener, who probably wouldn't handle it very well anyway. We are very predictable. Luckily we have 2 guys that can create their own shot most of the time. Just a lousy offense to watch for the other 3.

I think you may be right that he is gassed. The entire team doesn't seem to be playing with the energy they had earlier and it begins with Bazz. The problem is we have nobody to sub for Boat and Bazz. It was my biggest concern from the beginning of the year as I was never sold on Samuel being athletic and skilled enough. Hopefully Samuel will prove me wrong and we can get Bazz and Boat more rest because without those two we aren't even an average team.

it's a hold your breath type of team.

We're deep enough thay Bazz shouldn't have to play that much. Thase games shouldn't even be that close. Linehan should be seeing 5 minutes a game

Can't tell if this is serious or a joke

I'm having that problem almost every day around here.

Is that what it's come to? Calling a close home victory against an Ivy missing their best player "a great win"?

An Ivy unlike any other that beat a 3-seed last March

In order for that to happen we'd have to have at least a 20 point lead for the entire last 10 minutes of the game. That's for Ollie to even consider putting Lenehan in for that long.

This is spot on. Boat has been much better these last few games. Lassan and Boat have been huge. Bazz does need fewer minutes. Need to find a way.
