Turtles post/Chief of the game thread!!
« on: November 29, 2011, 08:32:29 PM »
1ST off let me start off by saying .........WE TAKE TOO MANY 3's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, I now that I got that off of my chest .........  Finally we get the BP3 that we have been waiting on for the past few years. Points, rebounds, asst and defense BUT his poor shot selection down the stretch cost him my COG. My COG goes to Sam for knocking down five 3's, the left handed lay up and key rebound among the trees at the end.
     
The Good
* BP wakes up but has to play smarter down the stretch.
* Sam knocked down some key 3's.
* We hung in there got a win on the road.
* Griff had a solid game along with some nice blocks
* Another good game from the line as a team

The Bad
* Up 6, on a roll and we have a chance to put the turtles away. We get a few offensive boards and jack up some crazy 3's. There is a TO called and Turtles go on run to make it a game again. WE TAKE TOO MANY 3'S!!!!!!!!
* BW playing Henry at the 4  :nonono:
* BW with the quick hook on Shaw, Head, Bertrand and Henry.
* DJ MIA on the scoring end.

With that being said .... LET IT RIP!!!!!!!!!

More high low please.  Sammy was awesome, big shots, played tough and hit his free throws.  Leonard is a BEAST.  Needs to get more and more touches per game.  Was also good to see BP play well tonight too.

I gave it to sam as well, as some guys said in chat we'd be in trouble without him



Great win, Maryland is mediocre but its a road game, nationally televised AND WE PLAY HARD WHICH IS WHAT WE HAVENT DONE THE PAST FEW YEARS

Sam- Leader
Meyers- a beast but we need to feed him more
BP- The wild card

Beat the Zags, we are a legit team to do some damage in march no doubt

It's frustrating watching these guys not be able to get it inside to Meyers.

Picked Sam he was huge in the second half hitting timely threes and his big drive when we needed points.  Not only that but nice job knocking down the free throws at the end.  Nice to see Paul show up but man he still makes a  lot of bad decisions.  Leonard  had a solid game once they started getting him the ball. And as covered WAY too many 3's.  But a nice win and learning experience for the team on the road!

Paul was great attacking, still shaky with the outside shot.  Clearly a confidence problem... if he can get his shot back and continue to drive we will win a lot of games.    DJ had an off night.  SM was great.  Nice win.

I had to replay it about 5 times when he told ML to knock it off at the end of the game.  There hasn't been a guy for the Illini that would do that since Frazier left.

Need that effort from BP the rest of the season.  He looked like the guy we thought he might be.
Any Illini gamers out there add me to your friends list.
