Zone them, slow it down and pound it inside. They might would make a game of it then.

Just a guess but I think CM will approach the 2nd half with the big picture in mind. I bet he is hammering to the team about toughening up their man to man at the half. Not the best decision for today but never the less I bet he sticks with it. We will see.

Martin has to swallow his pride and go to zone. We won't beat Memphis playing man. We don't have the horses.

I wouldn't put McBee on the floor in the second half. We are playing short handed on D every time down the floor with him out there. Give Richardson all his minutes in this game.

Run down the skills list of a PF and let me know which he qualifies for.

He already looks better than anything we had last year. He needs to convert at the basket more, but he's quick, has great ball handling abilities, is a great rebounder, converts at the FT line, etc. What on earth are you talking about?

Do what? He is probably the least skilled offensive player in the conference.

Name one other big that can dribble and take the ball to the hole better than Maymon. He's also been great on the block this year.

Why? They clearly can't guard them off the dribble. They just cut inside them and make easy layups.

His statement is pretty accurate.

He plays hard, that doesn't require skill.

It couldn't be less accurate. Dude has a ton of skill. I think you are both smoking crack. Even Jimmy Dykes was gay'ing out over his ability. Memphis cannot guard him. Are we watching the same game?

The guy said he's the best PF in the league if he can finish. I said he's the least skilled.

His FT shooting is likely coming back to earth, his ball handling is of no value from the 4. He is a good rebounder. If he can't shoot, which he can't, he needs to be an otherworldly passer and defender. He's neither.

Didn't say I thought it was the thing to do just thinking like a coach. I think he will stick with it thus saying if we are going to win when it matters we have to play tough hardnosed man to man defense. We are all learning CM and that's my initial impression.

There won't be much of either as both have 3 fouls

Holy crap. We've played garbage and a mediocre Duke team and he still hasn't scored. Please.

I don't think he's the best PF in the league, but he sure as hell isn't the least skilled. That's beyond ridiculous.
