In spite of his problems with lateral movement, he's lead the team in scoring almost every game. Granted, he's not the finisher that he was before his injuries, but his importance is paramount. But so is LewJack's and everyone else's. This team has no one dominant player at this point, so the scoring will rotate and the big play guy will have to revolve. If not, we'll see more of what we witnessed last night.boilerdowdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08356708955038289503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-28224992996543754582012-01-06T09:48:21.062-05:002012-01-06T09:48:21.062-05:00TJ is a sophomore. He just had a great game again...TJ is a sophomore. He just had a great game against Illinois. He's been hurt and hasn't practiced much.<br /><br />What I don't understand is why Hummel is getting a free pass from everyone. His play, especially on defense, as of late has been horrendous. So has LJ.<br /><br />HOWEVER, I agree with Bdowd...it's obviously the injuries taking their toll.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08607335847577250019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-3734902935902309922012-01-06T08:11:46.185-05:002012-01-06T08:11:46.185-05:00The second to last paragraph sums it very well.
I...The second to last paragraph sums it very well.<br /><br />I'm not sure of his injury status, but TJohn looks more and more to be a bust. I talked him up to my out of state friends and now feel like a dope. He needs improvement in a lot of stuff if he's to be our starting PG next year. If he's not up to it, fuck it, put his little brother in and start his development.BoilerWhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06471282598601347245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-28901237460534864162012-01-06T07:20:27.851-05:002012-01-06T07:20:27.851-05:00I saw Ben Jones (psu's blogger/twitter) saying...I saw Ben Jones (psu's blogger/twitter) saying that Painter wasn't holding anything back during the post game presser...<br /><br />Is there a transcript of that aywhere? Whould be interesting to see what he said and what he is thinking at this point in the season, especially after such an ugly loss.ATL_Boilershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11665692459699425260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-27180889442613999662012-01-06T00:36:57.040-05:002012-01-06T00:36:57.040-05:00The more I think of it, the more I think this recu...The more I think of it, the more I think this recurring issue is coming back to personel issues. LewJack's not right, Hummel's not 100%, TJohn is still out of shape, AJ doesn't understand the defense nor does Lawson (yet), Carroll struggles when physically challenged and Marcius, while strong isn't quick enough...that's a lot to deal with.<br /><br />I really believe that the Sophomores and Freshman might develop better if the upper classmen were healthier.<br /><br />The tough practices are a thing of last season- many players don't practice every practice so not only are guys injured, but their endurance is lousy. <br /><br />ALL OF THAT SAID, tonight was the worst effort I can remember from a Painter team. Excuses can't gloss over that.boilerdowdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08356708955038289503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-43242562677698581652012-01-05T23:37:03.556-05:002012-01-05T23:37:03.556-05:00I always hear how tough Painter is on these guys ...I always hear how tough Painter is on these guys in practice, tough rebounding and defensive type drills. Could that be the problem? Are the guys checking out because Painter is too hard on them? I hope this isn't true, but the effort and desire seems sporadic at best, could they have stopped buying into the system?boilerbuglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10409141924746230212noreply@blogger.com
