[quote="Red Bloods" post=355551][quote="bamafan" post=355548][quote="mjmaherjr" post=355546]they lost to PR yesterday. Powell didnt play. Next game I think against Argentina[/quote]
Actually Powell did play and fouled out with only 2 points.USA was up 10 most of game until 4th Q.Had trouble scoring in second half and Heron who had a dozen points remained on the bench for the last 8 1/2 minutes. Looked like a typical Ed Cooley coached Providence team where they blow a late lead. If they won would have matched up with Figgy's Dominican team.[/quote]
Like i said, this Diallo is a chucker(6-15 fg’s) and Cooley played him almost all game while Heron played only 16 minutes yet had 12 points on 5-6 from the field. If he doesn’t sit the last 9 minutes USA wins the game. Once again, just hope he remembers this when we play them in conference. Because Cooley has this team looking SLOPPY and is favoring his guys to the detriment of the team. Always root for the USA but if Cooley doesn’t have his BEST players on the court(especially in crunch time) he is going to get himself and his guys embarrassed. Heron, Powell & that big dude NEED to be on the court as much as possible imo.[/quote]
Maybe he sat the last nine minutes because he hurt his ankle
