Providence (MSG), Sat., Feb. 1, 12 NOON, CBSSN

No Jack. Guys weren't saying he was playing poorly. That was obvious. Guys were saying he is slow, lazy, a poor defender, can't shoot and cherry picked his stats from his prior two years to say th a t was inconsistent and a fluke. If those were your assessments, then. I admire your honesty but not your accumen.
Don’t get your point Beast. At the time he was poor and out of shape and I’m sure the perception of him being lazy was due to his being out of shape. However, considering his NIL at the time, that was inexcusable and criticism was justified.

That being said, I’m sure we are all happy he has gotten himself in shape and what a difference it has made, but calling out posters for criticizing him back then is not justified.
 
Guys have bad games Silly. What annoyed me the most about today’s game is the way we let up on defense and didn’t close this out the way we should have. There’s no excuse for the defense not being there. The shooting going in and out I can deal with. Guys not making some shots , throwing some ill advised passes, a bad foul here and there, it happens. The way they just stopped playing defense like the game was over and let Rahim kill us like that just can’t happen. We had a 16pt lead with 6 minutes left. Let’s just hope that this game was a lesson for them. To me besides winning, the best thing about today is that we shot 33.3% from 3 even with Wilcher’s struggles. Thats where we need to be.
I hope by mid February we're where we want to be.

We're very close, but when we are where we want to be, the 2nd half collapse doesn't happen.

A win is a win, but never stop improving.
 
Great teams execute in big moments. A 20 point win wouldn't prove as much as having 1 possession +3 to win a tie game, and running the shot clock all the way down with the guy you wanted with the ball in his hands.

Anyone want to stand by their bullshit expert commentary from December about this kid.

A milllion $$? Is that all? Lol
I would like to stand by my December commentary on Richmond, but I’ve been the head of his fan club all year.

Beast, in fairness it was Rick Pitino who questioned his conditioning. I was surprised when Pitino called out his weight.

But he was slow, often lazy and a poor defender early in the season. Which I think was a byproduct of being out of shape. So maybe lazy isn’t the right word, but he wasn’t in the right shape to make the plays he is capable of making. Again I’m just happy that’s a thing of the past. But this idea that we are now playing “gotcha” with people who felt Kadary wasn’t Kadary to start the season is off to me. How good he looks now is just further evidence to me he wasn’t in shape and the head coach of our basketball team has echoed that sentiment
