We not only lost five of our last six with Nuri, we lost most of them BECAUSE of Nuri. We not only lost five of our last six with Nuri, we lost most of them BECAUSE of Nuri.
Versus Arizona Lindsey fouled out and Arizona went on a 16-2 run, so if we lost because of Lindsey we lost only because he wasn't playing. Against A&M Lindsey missed two critical free throws, yes, but if Harkless hadn't gone 3 for 15 from the field or if God's Gift to Villanova had made a single field goal those free throws might not have mattered quite so much. I assume you don't want to pin the loss to UK on Lindsey. Lindsey was one of two players in double figures versus NE - Harrison was 2 for 10 from the field and 0 for 6 from three - while some mid major dope lit up the zone for 30, so I don't see how we can blame that one on him. And on his way out the door against Detroit Lindsey played only 21 minutes. So to recap: when you say we lost most of them because of Lindsey in big capital letters you're either wrong or you're lying.
We went 3-0 as soon as he left.
Yes we did. Also, instead of Kentucky and Arizona we played Fordham and Texas Pan American. Just curious: do you think the sun rises because your alarm clock goes off?
Harrison plays better without Nuri. The fact that this thread pops up after we lose a close OT game where Greene and Harrison each had their best games of the season is f'ucking comical.
Of course when I was a younger comedian I worked blue, but with age came the realization that it's the force of rhetoric that carries the day, not mere vulgarity. The thing about you younger comediens is that you think your potty mouth is shocking the grown ups but it's nothing they haven't heard before.
And despite your expletive d'eleted, its obvious that the team would be much better with Lindsey. It's not even arguable: if nothing else he'd be another body. We'd certainly had been better on the last possession, when down by three the great Phil Greene walked the ball up the court and then cleverly passed it to some slug at the top of the key with three seconds left for the game losing shot.
We got 42 PTs from our backcourt today and this is the game we bring this thread REALLY? We lose the game on FT's
Interesting take. 21 turnovers, rebounding minus 16, Pinkston prison showers Achiewa, and yet we lost the game on free throws.
and this is the game we decide to bring up missing the worst shooting guard anyone has ever seen at STJ?
He's not close to the worst shooting guard I've ever seen at STJ.
REALLY? In a close ft match like this it would have been nice to depend on a 50% ft shooter
You don't seem to have thought this point through. According to you we lost the game because of actual free throws, taken by the actual players, who actually missed them. If that's so I'd much rather depend on hypothetical FTs, not taken, which have a 58 percent chance of going in.
21 actual TOs yesterday.
That would have been much preferred to 42 PTs on 50% shooting from our back court.
I wouldn't go so far as to say that we lost yesterday because Harrison fouled out. We blew a 10 point lead in a few minutes for a plethora of reasons. But Harrison fouling out certainly didn't help. Because he's really quite a good and nice player who I think has a chance to become the all time leading scorer at SJ if he stays 4 years. But with Lindsey on the roster Harrison might not have fouled out. If we are better with Harrison on the court and if yesterday Harrison might not have fouled out if there was a body to spell him, therefore yesterday we would have been better with Lindsey.
Anyway, you might want to hedge your bets here. If Lindsey succeeds at Rider you want to be able to say you really liked him while he was at Sj. You know, like your favorite player Cedric Jackson, who you fell in love with after his success at C State. Like you know how in the off season you jocked Malik Stith about how fast he was and whatever else just in case he didn't suck and now you don't mention him at all because he's awful? Like f'ucking that.
