Ollie Made the Right Call

Any line up would look better if DHam wasn't ice cold. He's trying to guide the ball in right now.

Thank you Funster - BINGO

I mean if he's shooting just 35% in the last 2 losses we win and there's no "line up or we miss Brimah" threads instead it would be about how much better we will be when AB returns. Score the basketball and we have 14 wins right now.

Ollie had to do something. He gets a point for doing something for this game. We can still lose to almost anybody on our schedule.
The offense has has been so stagnant with next to zero penetration by anybody. Hamilton's attempts were painful to watch over this past stretch. And despite the maddening turnovers Jalen had, he was crucial in accelerating the break and penetrating. His teardrop is not Jeremy Lamb amazing, but it is fun to watch when he converts. He's not a point guard, but he's the closest we've got.

I think Purvis is one emotional dude. How he handles this change is going to be critical for us.

He may be emotional, but he's also mature and team focused. I think he'll be fine. I also think he'll be back in the starting lineup when he gets himself ironed out.

I didn't realize this board was full of Red Auerbachs. Someone alert the staff to check the boneyard and Twitter so we can take advantage of the basketball geniuses on the Internet.

and they're the same people who jump to call anyone else absurd for their predictions or takes. The referencing your own tweets to show how smart you were months ago thing is really hilarious to me. Just throw enough turds at the wall and in 6 months you can selectively call yourself a genius, and other people can make you look as crazy as Dr. Ben Carson with the opposite selective memory

I think a number of posters feel that his numbers will improve once Brimah returns. His numbers look better with Brimah in the lineup. I still maintain that the Brimah lob is his 'safety valve', for whatever reason, which should help clear up the indecisiveness we've seen lately from Hamilton. That option alone should increase his shooting percentage.
