He adjusted in the first half with good results.
He's adjusted into CFL for the 2nd half, however.

What the fuck is Biruta doing? Get him the hell out of there. His man is killing us.

Optimistic · Unread post by **Optimistic** » 10 years ago

Nice run there by Biggie to get us back into it. Defense is still killing us. That big white kid for them is a stiff and he's getting free looks.

Biruta might be the worst interior defender I have ever seen.

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 10 years ago

Leaves his man, completely abandons him in the paint, at least three times I counted, and now a cheap ass foul. Why leave him in there?

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 10 years ago

He's on ether. Never saw such a slowpoke, with lousy hands.
Why isn't he playing with his arms up, instead of at his side????

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 10 years ago

Thanks a freakin lot, Biruta, for deciding to take the entire second half off on D. Really appreciate that.

This is painful to watch

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 10 years ago

What a DUMBASS FOUL by Biruta!!! Detroit can't miss at the free throw line.
We could have taken the lead with the 3 that EC had pop on him.
Ugh!

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 10 years ago

omg, I'm having flashbacks of Nik here. No rhyme or reason to anything Biruta is doing right now.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 10 years ago

Anyone who doesn't think Munford is our best player, doesn't
know basketball!
Biruta can't guard a fire hydrant!

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 10 years ago

Bigger white stiff is destroying smaller white stiff. Awful!

Inexcusable loss. Terrible defense and FT shooting. Well coached teams do both of those things well.

Smokinjimit · Unread post by **Smokinjimit** » 10 years ago

Thanks. I am done with them. Poor effort. Call me if we ever get a point guard.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 10 years ago

Minnis missed a wide open layup at the buzzer.
Another frustrating loss.
This one really blows, because we had a decent lead in the 2nd half,
and blew it,

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 10 years ago

How the hell do we shoot 46% from the floor and 42% from the free throw line?
Sorry, I want Munford, not Minnis taking the last shot!

lol.

omg, there are so many things wrong with this team. I'm all done with these tools they always seem to get from Eastern Europe that just go into asshole mode during the game and go rogue and do whatever the hell they want at any given moment.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 10 years ago

Make even 3 more and we win. Same with PC.
We have met the enemy and it is us!
Thanks Gil! Gagger!

bigappleram · Unread post by **bigappleram** » 10 years ago

Inexcusable loss, I agree. Looked completely lost on defense for 20 minutes. After 1.5 games of great D.

I don't agree that coaching has anything to do with FT shooting, being a good shooting team is a better indicator for FT percentages. We are neither.

Gil has flashes of good offensive play, but longer stretches of abysmal defense and trying way too hard on offense. 5 turnovers from a Junior, key player, cannot happen.

Detroit was bad, we made their front line look like the Fab 5.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 10 years ago

Yeah, BAR! They even had Jawan Howard!

I am disgusted. Free throws?? Zero excuse for that. TEAM FAIL

Please stop posting. Racism and calling one of our own player's an asshole/tool? We would be better off as a fan base if you stopped rooting for the team.

I'm as upset as anyone with the loss but one bad game doesn't mean Hurley is an idiot and the entire team sucks. Grow up.

rhodyram81 · Unread post by **rhodyram81** » 10 years ago

Other than shooting like junior high players from the line, getting easily beat down the court and committing ridiculous unforced turnovers, we played great!!!!

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 10 years ago

Remember what the PC guys were saying about Batts last game? "His vagina was hurting him?" That's Gil too, except much worse. For Batts, it was a one off. For Biruta, it's a trend now that I've seen since the second game after Maine (didn't see Maine). For four defensive series in a row, maybe more but I at least caught the last four, he was 'pretending' to cheat up and help the guards out and completely left that white stiff all alone under the basket, because he shies away from the contact, and that guy was giving him little shots.

BPR2010 · Unread post by **BPR2010** » 10 years ago

This shouldn't be a shock to anyone at all. After the McNeese State game, I caught fire for being pessimistic about their performance through the first 8 games. The responses I got were, among others, "Who cares, we won", "We're 6-2, stop being so negative", and "Enjoy the wins, at least we didn't lose". I also caught fire for criticizing Biruta after a 17 and 8 game. I pointed out the huge turnover stat that most ignored. I knew these types of games would happen. I knew even though we were 6-2, it would be a brutal road forward. The past 3 games have gone exactly how I've expected.

I refrain from commenting in game simply to observe what others say. Most of the heat seemed to go on Biruta today, and rightfully so. He still cannot play any defense whatsoever and according to espn, 5 turnovers today. But wait, he had a double-double! We should just forget the turnovers right? That's how it went against McNeese and Asheville. He is simply not the player Dan hyped him up to be or what we all thought he would become, myself included. I'm guilty of expecting too much myself.

I said after McNeese the losses would continue. You had to know Biruta would go 1 of 2 in that final sequence. It's been our Achilles' heel for years. The one positive I saw in that last set was a great play setup by Dan. The ball went inside, and quickly. There wasn't perimeter dribbling. It was a great set drawn up by him. Applause from me there. Otherwise, wasn't surprised by this loss. There's a reason we were 5 point dogs today. Still looking for in-game improvements. The emotion of playing a rival in PC definitely carried them Thursday night. There wasn't any of that today. Just another disappointing performance to add to the record book. But hey, we still have a winning record, right guys?

jcru · Unread post by **jcru** » 10 years ago

1. I'm the same race, so how is it racism, jackoff?

2. Don't worry, I'm gone, I'll see you guys at the games starting on Jan 2.

Take it easy.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 10 years ago

VERY long 2 weeks. Wonder if we can beat UNH?
We can listen to Dan mumble through his post game presser.
There are no words to excuse the crap we saw in that second half.
This is officially disgusting!

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 10 years ago

Funny, some PC people I know, told me Biruta was just OK, but he
wasn't a beast and wasn't what we were lead to believe.
Gezz, I guess they were right.
jcru, I need you to help fight the forces of evil.

RF1 · Unread post by **RF1** » 10 years ago

It is now abundantly clear that this will be another lost season with respect to record. This team will not finish .500. It is not about the now but the future.

We were all sold a boatload of crap with the hype for this team. The talent is not there in the present tense. I wouldn't have been so disappointed with the way this season has played out if I hadn't been given false hope. I hold Hurley and the media responsible as they really misled us.

Roz · Unread post by **Roz** » 10 years ago

I don't understand why Dan wouldn't let Powell and Butler play when it was clear the other guys weren't getting the job done.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 10 years ago

According to the box score, Powell played and had a shot. (???)
I'm beginning to wonder about talent evaluation in Kingston.
Reischel, 2 points and very inconsistent. Biruta, a sieve on defense and a turnover machine.
Butler's never played a second of meaningful ball. Oneykaba, a non factor except for his first game
hardly played today, despite us getting destroyed inside.

Brady just took one from Joe Montana's playbook with that rollout and throw
for a winning TD.
Winners find a way to win, no matter what the odds.
Losers find a way to lose.

Did you watch the game? How would either of those guys help? Butler is one step above being a walk-on and we know what Powell is capable of. Hurley had the right guys on the court, they just didn't get perform well enough to win. Putting the scrubs in doesn't solve anything.

theblueram · Unread post by **theblueram** » 10 years ago

If I was coach I'd start the walk-ons next game. Pathetic. And I had one, just one, question for Preston at the beginning of the season. Did you practice free throws because of the new rules. He laughed and said they did. Not.
