If playing them 37 mins a game is the only way to get them to play hard, I support that.
1/13/2009 10:41:59 PM
yea i know, GT isnt in nc!!!
1/13/2009 10:42:18 PM
Fells hasnt been playing good at all this year. None of his usual fast break dunks, and he hasnt been shooting (read as shooting, not even missing) any 3s at all. Ya I know hes been out with injuries but whatever.

yea i was never a huge fells guy, plays a little too out of control at timesbut it does seem like he is hurt or something

1) I never said McCauley was not hustling. I said he had TO's and didn't take but one shot down the stretch, and a bad shot at that. If Smith and Thomas were able to get open looks and score inside, then so should Ben. 2) No one has earned a starting role on this team. Sidney can and should continue to bench struggling veterans with surging underclassmen. Besides, if you don't play Mays, Williams, and Thomas now, you'll lose a chance to get them valuable experience that will pay dividends down the road.I don't want to hear this crap about "starting our veterans at all costs b/c they'll be ready come ACC tourney time." Bullshit. When you vets committ TO's, take bad shots, and generally underperform, you BENCH them. Besides, what happens when one of them gets injured (ala Atsur)? Now is the time for players to prove themselves.Lowe's message is clear: if you want to start, EARN IT.
1/13/2009 10:45:42 PM
but if you just want to play, come on down, taking all comers!!

Fells has never lived up to the hype, and Costner and Macauley can eat a bag of dicks. Gotta love it when your so called veterans shit the floor at end the game when the players with heart put them in a position to step up, be men, and win.[Edited on January 13, 2009 at 10:52 PM. Reason : ]
1/13/2009 10:51:45 PM
againi cant believe people are saying mccauley doesnt have hearti guess tonight is the first game they watchedand fuck costner? without him marquette, davidson and UF would prob have blown us out and we might have lost to ECU...againyea he may be kind of a POS w/ hardcore attitude problems, but he is the best player on our team and we need him

^^which is why its so frustrating when he takes himself out of the gameI want him to ball like he can, but I have only seen glimpses of thatFells is/has always been a mystery

New recruits shot 13-18, and only turned the ball over 5 times.The players Sid inherited shot 10-35 and had the other 11 turnovers.

^that is nuts oh and Im sure javi had like 4 of those TOs too [Edited on January 14, 2009 at 12:10 AM. Reason : javi]

to be fair javi had 2 TOs in 3 min and was mistakenly included in the numbers with herb's playersmays went 5-8 and had 3 TOs in 26 minthomas went 2-2 and 1 TO in 18 minwilliams went 3-5 and 1 TO in 17 minsmith went 3-3 and 0 TO in 16 minsounds like smith had some issues with his knee flaring up so that's why we didnt get to see more of him

Fells obviously tweaked his ankle on that attempted fast break lay in he skyed for and got the blocking foul. He came up hobbling, subbed out of the game the next possession, and went back to the locker room. That may or may not have been the reason for his jump shots being all over the place after that.
1/14/2009 9:09:58 AM
^^ It's not a trend. It's just one guy who decided to take that idiotic position after this game.

Mays has shown the ability to attack the lane and score when opponents overplay the passing lanes, something our other PGs haven't shown on any consistent basis. He hasn't really shown the ability to create for others, something he will need to learn to do to lead this team when facing competition that scouts his tendencies and plays him straight up. I like the talent and aggressiveness he brought to the table.
1/14/2009 9:47:54 AM
the trumpets knocked over our coaches. it was not our night
1/14/2009 10:07:55 AM
I agree he hasn't solved our PG issues. But he is showing promise. Tonight was probably the worst game I have seen him play this season, and it was still pretty good. (I am basing this on decision making).imho, Fells pretending to be the ghost of JJ Red is what killed us. At first i was but then i was
1/14/2009 10:29:22 AM
As bad as Fells' shots were, it is hard to put the bulk of the blame on him. Prior to him lofting those prayers up, the rest of the team seemed unwilling or unable to create or take shots.

^so are you saying you're not going to watch the games, but continue to post negativity in the game theads? why?
1/14/2009 1:06:12 PM
I was being facetious about not watching the games anymore, I probably say that about every game that we lose, but like a bad addiction I keep getting pulled back to the next gameI just hate how predictable our meltdowns have become
