Clingan Was Sick Last Night

[REB1094]

Get well soon Donovan!

Literally, Clingan is a potential lottery pick who was visibly coughing and asking for his inhaler and people be like he's not as good as I thought.

Idiots.

I’m going to confess, last night one of my sons asked why he was getting out rebounded and not catching passes for easy dunks, I commented he definitely looked better last year and didn’t look like a lottery pick. ( I didn’t know he was sick).

Conditioning aside, will be very interested to see how his low post moves have developed.

Really need to be able to throw to him down low and have him go get a bucket. Especially when he significantly outsizes his opponent.

I liked this play alot (even though not a low post move). Pretty nifty and shifty finish for a 7'3" giant!

Also loving how smooth the PF/C pick and roll looked

Worst of all, I think, was the suggestion that Johnson should start in order to light a fire under DC.

We all saw him ask for the inhaler. I’m glad his dad cleared up what we all suspected. There happens to be a lot of respiratory stuff going around now, and the people who have it are very laid up and exhausted. He tried to run up and down a court.

The chat was on fire with negative waves last night.

The chat can be even worse than Twitter. It's always loaded with extreme reactions and negativity. These kids are all giving it their best.

My reply to Mr Clingan: ignore the hubris coming from some fans. UConn fans are spoiled and arrogant.

I would beg Donovan’s father, for his own sanity, to ignore what anyone other than pro scouts and Donovan’s coaches have to say about him.

 

[MexicoHusky]

This is a good thing. Sick or not. Dad noticed his son didn't play to his potential. Dad felt the pressure a bit. That obviously means Clingan knows he didn't play to his potential and feels the pressure. Some pressure is a good thing.

There is a bad virus going around that results in lingering coughing and trouble breathing. It’s not covid. Leaves you feeling weak. . I have had it for 6 weeks so do not be surprised if Donovan looks off for awhile.

I read that Samson Johnson is better than Donovan Clingan when he's fighting through an illness.

Idiots.

A lot of these people were bashing Sanogo last year and stating Clingan should be starting, too. Like, WTF? Clingan was great in his role last year which was a big reason why UConn won it all. Sanogo was the guy who put the team on his back when a bucket was needed and he was the MOP of the NCAAT.

Interesting you say that. Normally I recover from illness in about 3-4 days-I got a strong immune system. However, these last 2 weeks I have been winded. I thought in the first week I was recovering only for things to suddenly turn for the worst. Turns out I have sinus infection and now I am on antibiotics.

I hope Clingan isn't going through that at all or something worse. Antibiotics can leave people feeling drained.

Idiots.

We had Clingan needing to lose weight, get in shape, and get replaced by Samson all within hours of the game ending. Lots of hot takes on BY for this game.

 

[mauconnfan]

Can I say I’m happy to hear this? Hope he gets better but something wasn’t right. He had a few days to get better and get back out there. He’s going to be fine maybe even give KU some hell!!!!

 

[WeAreUCONN]

I’m h

I can't believe all the folks getting in line to bash Clingan. Just a sorry lot.

In Hurley’s system it’s best man up. If Johnson is more of a positive than Clingan, Johnson needs to play more than Clingan.

 

[RedStickHusky]

There's a reason the mods do game chats vice threads. Some fans get emotional in the moment and hot takes tend to rule. People should remember their handle is still on display, though. And, hey, the players aren't making mistakes because they decided to mess with you. It's only about you in your own head.

Oh. And quit using the word "unacceptable". If you really find it unacceptable, your only recourse is to quit watching. If you're still watching, it's not unacceptable.

Hope he gets well soon.

He clearly wasn't 100% healthy. His legs just weren't there last night. He was getting pushed around at times by guards. This is the same guy that last year had bigs, including a few 7 ft-ish guys spin into him or 'bump' him and was watching a kid run into a wall last year.

Don't know how long it will take, but he'll get there. While he does, SJ gets valuable minutes and has a chance to develop even more.

Alex was pretty sick in the second half as well.

I see what you did there
