Is Lewis injured because

[jsb]

I always try to be careful when I make an argument for a certain player to get more minutes because I don’t see what goes on in practice.

I only see what goes on in the games and from what I’ve seen, the guys getting the minutes have to step up and prove they deserve those minutes.

I think the key is that you don't see practice.

I know you are arguing that Lewis has earned more time than the others, but honestly Lewis hasn't exactly set the world on fire when he has gotten a chance.

I don't think the coaches are idiots, so I'm guessing that if Lewis was really good in practice, he'd be playing more.

No he has not. I just don’t think anybody in front of him has either. (Outside of Tyrese obviously). Our guards have all really struggled so far this year.

I mean, pretty much everything we say on here is an opinion. I think your opinion is right but it’s not a fact. There’s no guarantee that either one of those guys contributes in the future. We THINK they have the ability to but we have no idea if it’ll actually happen or not.

No really, it's not an opinion

29% career 3 point shooter=bad

It’s 100% an opinion. We have no idea what kind of players our freshman are going to be.

 

[Malone]

CyTwins has never been wrong

/sarcasm

We're going to have to be better defensively obviously

Not sure you are going to be able to Force more than 22 turnovers a game, Nixon cannot be a volume shooter....it is that simple. Some of that is on Nixon, some of it is on the staff and some of that has to come from TH demanding the ball and sticking PN in a corner like we did DJ and others. He is a 2 year for one year player and if he wants to get a shot at the NCAA tournament he needs to excel at his role at ISU not what he was in the Mountain West.

I hesitate to be harsh when someone asks a legitimate (I assume) question. But how many more of these threads are we gonna have?

Depends how often we lose. These threads stop if the guys on the court take care of business.

OK our entire coaching staff is way wrong then

 

[Cyforce]

These threads always come out after a loss. If he was going to play this year he needed to out play Grill. Doubt that happens.

Forcing Turnovers is not all defense is. Fg % is most important. We give up too many layups and open shots. At least to michigan. difference today was they are better shooters than we are. That simple.

just because we lose doesn’t mean we’d win if he played more.

 

[Lineup]

there is no three shooters on this team!!!!!

 

[CycloneErik]

Can Tiller shoot?

 

[Rabbuk]

Can Tiller shoot?

Tiller is the Steve young to Joe Montana I assume he is also Mj

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m just saying when you lose games, people question things. I don’t think I ever said we’d be a better team if Lewis played. All I ever said was I can see why people make the argument.

You should have been fine, but that's not how this season is going to be. People are dug in, so discussion isn't really a thing.

Or the fan base develops reasonable expectations.

I think beating unranked power 5 schools is a reasonable expectation. When that doesn’t happen, I’m not surprised to see fans questioning things.
