Woolridge>Maze & Goins

Pearl just said that he has to get more out of Woolridge, that he's disappointed with his play, and that he can't just "log minutes." Glad to hear it from him. Also contemplating getting Brian or Kenny in at the 4 more.

Thanks Captain Obvious....that's the point. He hasn't done jack squat since the Kansas game. Hence the busting on him. He hasn'ts shown any improvement at all.

Apparently Pearl agrees with us and is disappointed that Woolridge isn't contributing enough. So I guess Coach Pearl is a "sports tard" as well.

Goins has played excellent lately. Very capable back-up. I was wrong about him. But why Maze & Goins do not play at the same time is beyond me. Bobby can play off-ball, especially with all the zone we played tonight, we wouldn't have to worry about size disadvantage.

Does anybody think Pearl is trying to limit Goins' / Maze's minutes because he's afraid they'll get gassed before the end of the year (given how short our bench is from a talent perspective)? I know he expressed concerns about Maze being gassed after the Kansas game, which is when Bone got his most significant minutes...still can't figure out why we're not seeing much of him either. He's a solid defender...

For giving J.P. as many minutes as he does, Bruce qualifies as a sports tard.

For making this "Tyler's team" at the beginning of the season instead of Wayne's team, Bruce qualifies as a sports tard.

For filling a roster spot with Skylar instead of John Jenkins, Bruce qualifies as a sports tard.

And yes, you too, royboyvol qualify as a sports tard.

John Jenkins actually wanted to go to Vanderbilt and not UT. So they can have him as far as I'm concerned.

Why are we bustin on our guys? Am I the only one who noticed the Zebras wearing Big Blue tonight? Those refs were already giving Wall NBA calls.

You don't make any sense. One post you tell us that we shouldn't be hating on our players by talking about Woolridge and then you turn around and do the same thing. I don't mind opinions as long as they're consistent. What the heck is a "sports tard" anyway?

So you're saying, if he's a good player, then people wouldn't make threads bashing him

and you're calling us retarded? The point is he's not a good player!

Woolridge played more minutes than Maze & Goins b/c his back up is Steven Pearl. With Tatum out, Williams working back into game shape, and with Chism banged up, we were short on options at F.

That being said, I can't think of anyone that logs as many minutes as Woolridge with so little to show for it. The effort appears to be there b/c he's running all over the court, but his shot selection is terrible and he gets pushed around by bigger players down low. What was up with that shot on the baseline from behind the basket? Also, he needs to hit some 3's if he wants to keep jacking them up.

Woolridge offers nothing. I like goins at point and Maze at the 2. Hopson at the 3 and Hall at the 4. Have Chism at Center. Thats our best 5.

That is a very good group and if you remember, last night we were a pretty good basketball team for 30 minutes, yeah, you guessed it, they play 40 in this league. I don't think you can play the five mentioned for 40 and expect them to play to the level they would have to. The bench has to come into play somewhere in the game.

Even though Maze & Goins split time... there is no reason for Woolridge to play that many minutes. I'd rather have Pearl out there... he's way more physical and at least has basketball IQ

pearl gives a bad name to white players. williams would be better suited to play.

No, because they are only playing PG, there is only 40 minutes to go around. Maze's 21 minutes plus Goins' 19 minutes = 40 minutes. Bone replaced Goins when he was suspended, so Bone got the minutes that would have gone to Goins.

they split time and I don't like Woolridge that much. he cant shoot the three anymore and he only had 2 points 3 rebounds 1 assist and 0 blocks and steals. he needs to be benched.

I agree. I guess our other option is to start Hall, and have Woolridge & Williams backing up Chism & Hall. Sounds like a good idea to me. Pearl was very displeased with Woolridge. I see a change coming soon. If Williams gets back into game shape and Woolridge doesn't improve, he'll start losing minutes in a hurry.
