Tell me which college team wouldn't see a big drop in production without two starters. Which one? I'm ready.

I'll need some hay and a burlap sack if we're gonna be making strawmen.

Wild game. Do not win that game without Ace. Crazy how the offense really struggles without him. A lot of turnovers and missed free throws. JJ has to stop getting in foul trouble. Lowal gave good minutes.

He's our pg and best player. He's supposed to be a difference maker and he certainly is.

Doesn’t change the excuse part. Our player coming back from wrist surgery shouldn’t have to go for 30 for us to have a chance no less after 3 T’s we still almost blew the game. Is Ace suppose to go for 30 every game? Deloach is playing awful. Watkins is ok. Shriver should be on the bench. John’s is doing his best to carry the load as basically the only competent big guy.

Okay, you're right...we should be able to beat anyone with bench players. This is getting old. Are you happy when we win games or do you hope we lose so we can replace the coach.

You shouldn’t waste your time. Really. I’ve realized how much time I’ve wasted on a couple of posters, and that’s my fault. Learn from my mistake.

So that's your answer? It's more fun to tear down the coach with criticism whenever we don't perform to your expectations while you gloss over material facts. By the way Mike has gotten us invites twice to the tournament and you really should acknowledge it. Covid was out of his control but you probably won't grant him that either.

I thought that Watkin's jumper was the shot of the year.

Clutch, poised, high-difficulty. Maybe a good sign of things to come.

Yes, that's my answer. I'm not going to defend arguments I didn't make, unless you can point out where I made them.

You can be happy that we won and at the same time still concerned that with a full roster and all-time high from our best player, a mediocre team whose head coach was literally escorted out by the cops was within a possession or two at the end of the game. They are not mutually exclusive.

You know what gets old? The bs crap about not being happy we won garbage some of y’all pull because we’re not happy that one player literally has carry our “deepest team ever” on his back his first game back after surgery. Ace played incredible but it shouldn’t take him having a career game for us to have a chance. We almost blew another lead this time after 3 T’s and coach was ejected. It’s not a sustainable offense when Deloach is a complete mess, Shriver contributes nothing, Watkins is still getting himself back, and John’s is the only big man contributing consistently. Jesus even Maynor got some help in his ridiculous games.

They definitely looked more like a team tonight and I’m not ashamed to say ace being back is a calming affect on the team.

One comment and I doubt I’m alone ….

WTF is it with the foul shooting again ?!!

Also was that the first alley oop we’ve had in Several games?

2012Ram · Nov 30, 2022

28 points on 7/14 with 4 assists and 1 turnover coming off a broken hand really is absurd though.

He actually played with pins in his wrist. Ha!

Do the Golden State Warriors complain about having to rely on Curry draining threes in order to win? Were fans complaining they needed Labron to average 30+ when they were winning championships? How about Michael Jordan's teams? Every great team needs their best players to play and produce or they aren't the same. This conversation is incredible. I'm through arguing with irrational clowns over the subject matter. Sheesh.
