Chief's Briefs

[huskymagic]

We talkin' bout blocking shots outbound! What we talking' about.

Whether Amida blocks shots inbound or out has no impact on how many wins or losses we have or have gotten. Only a casual fan thinks that's the problem with Ollie's teams. Maybe the team should be prepared for inbound plays by opposing teams or someone should have the sense or preparation to rotate to Amida's man when he goes for a block on someone. It's commonsense basketball that we have been lacking; nothing to do with whether Amida keeps his blocks inbound or not.

PS: Let's use some collective intelligence here and remember that Napier and Ollie won a title with Phil Nolan, DeAndre(stretch 4),Tyler Olander, and freshman Amida as his big men. Senior Amida, Senior Kentan, and Durham/Enoch is a better big man crew than what we had in 2014. The reason we were good was our perimeter crew was lights out both defensively and offensively(Bazz, Boat, Giff, and Daniels when he went out there). Blame the guards for this team's ineptitude as that's where we struggle on offense and defense.

Bill Walton and Nate Thurmond to name a couple. McHale and Chief00 to name a couple more. David Robinson was another.

You are including YOURSELF on the list of all time great player?

Hey, Chief was a great player for the Cs. We should feel honored to be blessed with the wisdom he imparts between puffs of his peace pipe.

What if he actually is Robert Parish? Loved your work on Laimbeer's face!

Unless any of us saw exactly what was on that sheet of paper its merely speculation
It might have been a menu of where they were going to eat after the game

Oh, it's not speculation. Chief knows exactly what it was, what it meant, and how it was reacted to. Something us casual fans will never be able to figure out. Maybe a Chief for Glen Miller trade is in good order? Chief can all at once save our season and our recruiting, and Coach Miller can enlighten the Boneyard with all of his experiences. I say let's do it!! All we need is Bunky to act as agent for this trade to get done.

Quite frankly, little mistakes due to lack of discipline or sloppiness, lose games!

The moment this forum uses collective intelligence it will be a first.

I'm certainly not going to do this, but it would be interesting to see the number of shots Brimah blocks out of bounds versus those he keeps in play. I would suspect that this yet another peccadillo being blown wildly out of proportion by the Boneyard. His blocks stay in bounds and lead to run-outs all the time.

Who would have the statistics on this?

Certainly not Glen Miller

We all thought you would since you made the original point. Plus since you're so plugged in to the team. Maybe Bunky does??

Young fellow - Bill Russell 60 years ago put that into practice! At a minimum blocking most shots out of bounds prevents the possibility of that happening.

This "young fellow" is 62 and is well aware of what Bill Russell did. But the thing about Bill Russell is that he is, well, Bill Russell. And even Bill knew he could not save all of them and a loose ball under an opponent's basket is a bad idea.

 

[David 76]

All I know is Russell never had a half where he sent two blocks out of bounds. Nor did any of the other greats. They made 100% of their blocks passes.

It is interesting to look at who supports Chief in this. It is like a remake of The Usual Suspects.

No one said Russell kept every block inbounds - but that was consistently part of his thought process and intent. He would not intentionally send the ball into the stands for a chance to get on a highlight clip that the casual fan would love but his coach and teammates knew was not his best effort. I hope this helps.

LOL - Bunkey keeping stats - while checking out the bitches.
