QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 11:13 PM) Wow, can't believe they didn't get Paul the ball. I would have preferred literally every other player on the team to get the ball than Maniscalco there.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 11:10 PM) Illinois better put the ball in Paul's hands here. If Maniscalco touches the ball I'm going to go f***ign nuts.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 11:07 PM) Yep. Paul needs to be pg. Sam and Abrams are just brutal players What is frustrating with Abrams is he was a big scorer in high school and now won't even look at the basket. I really don't get it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 11:06 PM) Can no one make clutch FT against Illinois this year? Hey Penn St., you think you might want to guard Paul? That kid was a 39% ft shooter. Illinois would have been unlucky if he made that.

Brandon Paul stepping up huge again. Huge shot.

QUOTE (SnB @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 11:01 PM) maniscalco makes my eyes bleed. There is literally no reason for him to be out there. If you don't want to play Abrams than just put Henry or Egwu out there and let Paul run the point.

DJ Richardson just got raped on that rebound and instead PSU gets the ball and shooting fts. Such f***ing bulls***.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 10:55 PM) They anticipate that play every time. Just like the charge call (as we discussed during the Illini/Ohio St game) I also wonder if a lot of these guys even played the game at any level above grade school. Just from playing high school basketball you should be able to officiate better than these jokers.

That steal by Paul was completely clean. Do refs even watch the game?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 10:43 PM) Isn't he dating Max Biefeldt's sister? Yes

Such a typical performance the last few years against PSU or coming off a big win. Can never maintain momentum.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 03:05 PM) The argument is awful. There is the anecdotal evidence of multiple writers and the statistics back it up. Unless someone has actual evidence, the only thing faulty here is people's memories. A quick review of those statistics shows that his shooting% and efficiency against the Pistons isn't out of line with his career numbers. So it is entirely possible if not likely that the drop in scoring is related more to the pace of the game than having a "Wade stopper" particularly since Detroit was always one of the teams with the fewest possessions per game in the NBA.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 19, 2012 -> 02:55 PM) Ive had disagreements with J4L, but you guys really are using meaningless stats here to try and argue. Did you know Hamilton is a Lebron stopper? http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-i...mp;p2=hamilri01 Lebron only scored 23.6 per game against Hamilton. What about Kobe, did you know Hamilton stops him too? http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-i...mp;p2=hamilri01 And Yao: http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-i...mp;p2=hamilri01 So what is more likely, Hamilton is secretly one of the top defenders, or he played on a good defensive team that held players below their average? Not to mention that Tayshaun Prince would generally get the defensive assignment on the opposing teams top perimeter scorer. I know he was the one guarding LeBron and Kobe and I'm sure he saw a lot of time on Wade as well.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 18, 2012 -> 08:56 PM) Ouch, Hoosiers. Looking ahead to Illini? Illinois doesn't play Indiana for like a month so I doubt it. They are bad defensively and until that changes they are going to let teams hang around.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Jan 15, 2012 -> 06:27 PM) Maybe not, but Duke did the same thing at OSU. I saw this coming. Indiana won't have a problem with Illinois. Indiana is the worst defensive team in the conference right now. They are going to struggle with everybody unless that changes. They need to shoot 60+% from three to beat Michigan by 2 at home and needed to do the same to beat PSU by only 6.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 10:57 PM) That's an excellent way to put it Definitely fair officiating both ways tonight. Wish more games were officiated like this in the Big 10 actually. Makes for much more fluid games.

f***ing ridiculous call against Leonard there. Unreal.

Horrendous gameplan by LSU on offense tonight.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 8, 2012 -> 02:26 PM) Why do you say Rodgers was no where near Luck? Rodgers had QB rating of 154 and 66% pct completion, Luck had a QB rating of 160.7 with a 70% completion rating. Statistically Luck isnt even the best QB in this draft, that would be RG III or Russel Wilson, who both sport better QB ratings (both broke the all time NCAA record, Wilson with rating of 191.2 and RG III with 189.5). Seriously, who the f*** cares about college QB rating when evaluating QB prospects?

QUOTE (Felix @ Jan 7, 2012 -> 08:57 PM) Not that +/- means much, but Carlos Boozer is -40. That's just impressive. He sucks. One of the worst defensive players in the NBA.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jan 4, 2012 -> 12:03 AM) Still not seeing how Cole's catch at the end was overturned. That was absolutely a catch. There certainly wasn't enough to overturn it from the views they showed on TV. Also, the Michigan kicker false started on the GW field goal attempt.

Mark Richt is a terrible terrible football coach.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Dec 27, 2011 -> 09:49 PM) I don't care how good of a shooter he is. He showed no urgency with the shot clock winding down and then took a fairly poor shot. Meh good guards are going to make that pretty often. Sampson was retreating and didn't contest it and Paul dribbled it to the 3 point line in rhythm.

LOL at the refs not calling that foul on Minnesota. Leonard got ridiculously hacked going to the basket. I'm pretty apathetic because if we continue to suck Weber is gone but that is f***ing ridiculous that that wasn't called.
