Left with only a screwball.

Gibbs good shooter, we need him, good player. On March 17th or 18th Jalen Adams should be on-court for opening tap.
I'm cool with that. Gibbs seems more of a SG to me anyway and Pervis is ideal instant offense off the bench.With Gibbs

Or do you want to slide Hamilton to the 4? #zymurgsrecipes
And Miller at the 5? Maybe at times opens up the offense for sure. Obviously no clog in the middle so it can't be too often but I like the mismatches. Plenty of line ups if people are playing to their potential.
I don't believe or understand the posts bailing on Gibbs. It is a luxury to have 3 quality guards the way we do and we are going to need all 3 if we're doing anything special this year.
We'd get abused by any team w size though. 6'5 center and a 6'7 beanpole power forward.
IMO Purvis/Hamilton/Brimah/Miller are nonnegotiable starters.

I mean, how can you mend a broken heart with all this jive talkin'? Maybe we've all just had too much heaven to love somebody.

Sadly, that was stone cold sober. I had planned to get an earlier start tonight but had to stick around for a phone call that was necessary for a filing that I had to make by the end of the day. The phone call was around a half hour late, so I was climbing the walls as the minutes ticked away and needed to do something. I kept expecting the call so I couldn't get any meaningful work done. Unfortunately for all of us, that was the result.Knocked off early tonight, huh 8893.
Come on man - don't argue against a position I never took. I never wrote or suggested that "Omar's benching" gave us an "infusion," or anything like that.First, Omar was on the bench by January 1, 2014 so your point about his benching somehow giving us an infusion in late 2014 is completely wrong.
I said it took 4/5th of the season to start Giffey. Giffey became the starter in March. So, that was just about dead-nuts on.Gibbs is not getting it done. This is like Calhoun in 14. It took 4/5ths of the season to figure out to start Giffey, then we went "BOOM."
In any event, Giffey was to 14 what Lamb was to 11, which is to say, he was the critical supporting guy who stepped in and stepped up late.
Maybe Gibbs is "cold." But it's hard to be a "spot up" 3 point shooter when you are the point guard.
I think Giffey was the final piece of the puzzle for the 14 team. It's not a measure of "better than." Lamb's emergence was the final piece of the puzzle. If Lamb doesn't emerge, or if Giffey doesn't get the starter's job, I don't think we win either year. Thus, I equate them in that role (not in the talent order on the team).We just don't think he should start, or that it even matters much.

The problem with the "it doesn't matter who starts" argument is that it's always presented unidirectionally. IF it doesn't matter, THEN why would Gibbs care? And why would other 5th year transfers care?
Of course it matters. It matters more than a little. I want to see Adams in the starting role because I think that gives us the best chance to come out of the gates strong, which we have not done well, to date. From my view, we always seem to rally when Adams comes in. I think it's illogical to think that it's the mere fact that he's coming off the bench and lending a "spark" or going against their second team that is causing our surges. It's his talent, and I want to see it on the floor at tip, so we can build a lead, and not bring it in when we're down 20.
