Furman post-mortem

[temery]

It's not difficult to get a new IP if you are hell bent on getting back so it really is a time saver for people who have made the effort to ignore him. If people choose not to ignore him, or engage him that's fine.

If someone is posting just to rile people, then I'll make the effort. This one is just an idiot with nothing positive going on and wants to vent/rant but I don't get the impression he is actually trolling for responses. OCD and depression together just aren't pretty.

@temery or @Fishy can make the decision to cut him loose if they think he's gotten that bad.

He's gone.

I sure hope we don't win 30 games this year. That would be the worst.

I'm not saying that winning 30 games would suck, I'm just bearish about this team's tourney hopes.

IMO it is too early to get either too bullish or too bearish.
Clearly, this team is much better than last year's team and we have seen effective passing, long stretches of good defense and stretches of good perimeter shooting.
With a sample size of three games and two exhibitions, against decent but not strong competition, it is hard to definitively comment about consistency...but, we have had players look outstanding in two games and so-so in one.
AB has incrementally improved in some areas but still is weak in areas where he was weak. Kelis Fisher has made some good plays as well, but both have finished poorly on some plays.
Our two frosh have made some great plays and show promise, but also miss some defensive assignments.
The most promising point is that this is a TEAM and they clearly pull together.

Hope it all changes and he is the guy to guard the others team big guy and score against him but for now there are match ups in the future that lead me to believe his minutes will become less and less if he does not improve.

Here's the bottom line on Brimah on defense... Post defense begins and ends with positioning. The post defender has to fight for position and deny the offensive player's ability to setup where ever they like, especially in the lane, 3 feet from the hoop. Brimah is ABYSMAL at this. I'm not sure if he's just so in love with blocked shots that he doesn't try, doesn't know that, or what. So far the bigs from small conference teams have eaten his lunch setting up wherever they like in the lane. That kind of effort on defense will be that much worse facing a quality post player.

I am sorry, but finding negatives over these first three games is simply nitpicking.

Still think it's nitpicking?
