EJ shoot the DAMN BALL.....
2nd Half Lineup:
Bassett
Crawford
Gordon
Stemler
White
jamarcus ellis has no basketball iq? are you kidding me?
whatever!
why is it that gordon can do one of (or should i say a lot of) his run through the lane, realize he has nowhere to go, and toss the ball in the air expecting a foul to be called...okay, let me just put it this way...why do we lick all over eric gordon's jock when he turns the ball over again and again, but when someone else does it they're worthless.
i'm curious...i seriously think gordon had more turnovers tonight than jamarcus ellis. not only tonight, but he may have the most turnovers on the entire team. i'll have to look into that.
anyway, i still can't believe you're stating that jamarcus ellis has no basketball iq!!!!!
jamarcus ellis on the season 100 assists 69 turnovers
eric gordon on the season 62 assists 86 turnovers
if not, add 6 turnovers to je and 5 to ej and throw in 3 more assists for ej
yes, it was a very ugly game...even bassett had 5 to's tonight.
Jamarcus is a great athlete and makes great athletic plays...but just as much he screws that athleticism up with silly shots and horrible passes. Not every bonehead play is a turnover.
I never said Gordon was the bball IQ genius. Gordon makes plenty of mistakes himself, but if you want to look at what he does....he doesn't jack up 30 shots a game (even though he'd be allowed to)....rarely takes a bad shot, penetrates and draws fouls (look at all his free throw attempts).
Both get out of control...but lately we've been seeing much more positive results from EJ than Jamarcus...he's trying to do too much and he's mental mistakes are a result of mental breakdowns, not attempting to penetrate the defense...etc...
And yes, it's a lot easier to forgive a guy who hits from anywhere on the court, gets to the line and hits as many free throws as he does...that's just our nature.
I'll fight that to the death. The tip-out he just had to EJ shows why he needs to play 25 minutes a game.
And there's fans in Mackey Arena! No, really. I know you remember the last 5 years, when people avoided the place like it was under quarantine for bubonic plague. But they're cheering. And they have signs!
You're quick! Ellis just passed up an open three. Thanks for being the messenger on that.
Personally, I like the scenario playing in my head. Tomorrow morning, KS goes into Greenspan's office.
KS: Last night was great for me. Was it good for you?
RG: Well, I can't really comment on that due to the ongoing investigation.
KS: Listen. I screwed up. But, the last two games has been by far the best of my career. Assembly Hall has never been louder. IU players have rarely played with such fire.
RG: Again, I can neither confirm nor deny.
KS: (Grabbing RG's leg) Please, let me keep my job. Zero tolerance. I'll even let you buy me a prepaid phone. One of those pre-teen phones where it can only call out to certain numbers. PLEASE!
RG: Well....
KS: I'll buy you lunch at Trojan Horse every day for a year...
RG: Deal!
Go Hoosiers! Bury the Boilers!
I wonder how they'll do with an interim coach.
Crap!
1.) Your coach is a cheater. (He cheated to win this game? Right.)
2.) You got homer referees (Oh really? We hired them?)
3.) It was at Assembly Hall (We made the schedule?)
4.) You haven't played anybody. (You mean...we STILL haven't played anybody)
5.) Your coach is a cheater. (Are you on the NCAA rules committee?)
6.) Our guys are freshmen...you've had longer to build team chemistry. (Oh, so two JUCO players, two seniors with one year of experience, a sophomore, two freshmen, a senior who's been injured his whole career, and a walk-on equal chemistry?)
7.) Your coach is a cheater. (I hear you now...but seriously...is this the best you can do?)
8.) DJ faked his injury. (Yeah that was the plan...DJ goes down at the beginning of the Michigan State game just to throw you off.
9.) Your coach is a cheater (I get it...Cellvin Sanctions...it's funny...but did he hit a jumpshot?)
10.) Two words man. Kyle Taber (Yeah...I hear you now!)
Go Hoosiers!
i love lavin...always have...like him even better after the nomination of dj white for national player of the year!
Thanks EJ for choosing IU......
Thanks Lavin for tieing Clark Kellog as my favorite announcers.....
