If Cobb isn't hitting shots or kj doesn't need to stop somebody from dropping 20, jenifer should play as much as them two. Can't put him in game with kj, da bear and moore and judge his performances. Passing and spacing on offense goes up another notch when JJ on floor.

You really think that we should be playing JJ this late in this season? he was amazing to start the season then once the compeitition got better, he got worse.

We can't experiement with him this late in the season.

His fouling of a 3 point shooter late in the uconn is a perfect example of him not being ready for this type of pressure yet. He will get better but rarely will an undersized PG come out and steal the role from a JR who is the same age as you and yet as 2 full years of playing and 1 as a stater plus this season.

I'll simplify this for you. Troy is just a better player.

Lol I understand what's going on buddy. Hell yeah jenifer should still be getting put into offense. KJ came up big late in his freshman year. Moore was called upon to just do his job in ky game and shitted the bed. We need all guys to continue developing. Mick actually was go leave jenifer in game with starters last game but switched it up at last minute. He's not dumb he see jenifer starting to find rhythm. Far as late 3pt shot foul goes I'm 110% sure it was point of emphasis at practice to challenge EVERY shot. If kj just attempt to block Woodward shot win when game
 
all you have to do is watch some of the post game press conferences to know troy is the leader and his teammates feel the same way
All I had to do was sit at home during my suspension watching troy smile once again after close loss. If I was Mick Ellis and kj would've been my captains. KJ toughest guard and Ellis toughest big. Think about it you've NEVER seen either look over at Mick for instructions. I want guys that go hard without being forced. Just because your the PG and coach Pet doesn't make you leader.

you lost me at Ellis being tough. He could have been smiling at a number of things. only losing by 2 after a full court 3. Only being down 2 after ellis missed about 5 chances plus 3 free throws, evans missing a free throw, evans shooting a 3 with 15 seconds left. Getting a steal and having another chance, or knowing that you were fouled shooting the ball and should have been given 3 shots, but were told know you only get 2 shots because you were passing the ball

Nah, im just screwing around about the smile. Mostly because A smile doesnt mean anything. Did you see Cams smile after the super bowl? was he happy he lost? does the smile make him not a leader?

Can't agree on that. Haven't seen enough of Jenifer to come close to saying that. Right now all I'm comfortable saying is they have different styles.

Passing and spacing is a world of difference when they on court. We starting to get baskets on every possession with jenifer on court. Also I just think we'll operate better as team if Cobb or jenifer handled the ball majority of game. I need Shaq troy and Evans running wild on wings.

Lmao well find yourself and point me in direction of tough big on team. Moore don't even care, deberry softer than Charmin and Clark to nice. I'm rolling with Ellis kj Evans jenifer Shaq mick in fox hole with me you can have rest of guys

I don't know what game your watching but the drop off when Jenifer is on the flloor as opposed to Troy is considerable. Jenifer can't guard and his decision making as the competition has gotten better has been very suspect. As I said I will be surprised if he is ever the starting PG here. Two small and can't shoot. Heck I'm surprised your so high on him. He can't dunk donuts. LOL!!!

Excuse my language not directed at you. But how about even with miracle fucking 3pt shot you still was leading by I think 9 at half against some bums. How bout being pissed Ellis was missing shots? How about being pissed you once again or Shaq didn't know time situation on last shot? Ellis miss a shot be pissed, Ellis gets fouled and be pissed, Ellis lose a game and be ready for war.

after the 3 the lead was cut to 5. But my point was people smile. Im smiling right now and im pissed off at the little turd at work who messed up an entire order

Maybe, because he is the leader, he doesnt want to make a scene in front of everyone and felt it was best to show anger behind closed doors. The game was over, you arent going to start throwing things, yelling at people, telling them they suck, the refs suck, and show you actually arent a leader? I dont mind a smile, like i said. it means nothing

Nothing wrong with liking different leadership roles. I personally like mine to be fired up like Justin Jackson or sk. Both a pick Ellis at playground over Caupain. Unless he's with daddy troy type dude that bought his basketball to court and we used ball but didn't let him play. He would've stood on sideline watching until we got done, NEVER once would he have balls to speak up.
 
I guess troy is perfect leader for Mick. It be impossible to get another guard to get 1/4 plays your team run from sideline every play. Troy smiles and love this system. Only 2 true Pg's in 10yrs signed up for this system.
 
Coach, every big time recruit we've lost at end was a guard. They want to run and score not walk and defend. Get athletic defensive bigs and explosive scoring guards. Pretty simple. Times have changed recruits want to run. Hell I'm pretty sure high school and college players even playing dfs sports now, scoring is the $$$ maker not stopping people from scoring. Hell look what happened in Houston game their guards were aggressive trying to SCORE and hit 90footer at buzzer our leading guard was tries running time out and let 7seconds run off clock without even getting ball inbounds. NOBODY on uc benched seem to even care that sequence just happened. In today's world of basketball both Pg's can go basket to basket in 4seconds easily.

different style of play. Id say Cumberland is a pretty decent scorer at the HS level. Idk if you mean Houston or Tulsa, but if you mean houston, they lost that game because they couldnt stop temple from scoring and also lost because they went ISO at the end of the game and pollard blew it and turned it over. It wasnt even good D. It was a dumb play. He was also a 5 star recruit

I'm talking about us at end of half last game. Troy watched ball for 7seconds with his now famously only Clark allowed to take ball out

So its Troys fault Clark is taking the ball out? im so confused at where you go with half of your arguments

This is not me being mean, im just lost to be honest

After Caupain fired up a shot instead of holding for a last shot at the end of the half, UConn scored with 7-8 seconds left...then Caupain just stood there waiting for someone to throw it in to him and we didn't get a shot. Why can't Caupain grab the ball and throw it in since time is of the essence? Terrible instinct in that situation.

ahh. Okay, I wasnt sure if he was talking about the Houston game against Temple last night since he said Houston. Or if he was talking about the Tulsa game since he said 90 footer. But yea. I was wondering why he shot that. There is no way he thought the time was running down to zero would there be? I cant think so, and no way we go for a 2-1. I wonder if anyone asked him that
