82 BU vs 69 ETS

Too bad there is no clapping smilicon because you hit that one perfectly...

I apparently was the only one that did not see any hustle or attempt at playing the game from DC last night...I saw more of an "oh, I got to play because Will's hurt, but hey I wasn't ready to play" type of effort...

AT could not have been any worse regardless of what type of excuses the DC bandwagon wants to feed everyone...

And no one wants to boo, but really, everyone pays good money for their tickets not to see a 7 footer getting stuffed by the rim on an uncontested dunk...I assure you that you will not get much help patting the guy on the back there...

I hope for a turnaround w/ him, but there is about a 5% chance at this point of that happening, especially w/ his lack of effort and skill on the defensive end and in the rebounding game.

I'm not disputing his poor play but I just ask prove to me its from lack of heart/desire or effort. Do you really think JL would play him at ALL if that were truly the case.

I'm only discussing "booing' the guy. Listen if YOU think thats the way to get him going...go ahead. Personally I think a person boos just to make themself feel better.

I don't know about being on DC's bandwagon but I do understand he is part of MY BU family and I just don't believe ripping and railin on the guy serves any purpose other than to calm some inner frustrations.

DC needs to play better and the ONLY way that will happen is through good coaching, practice and playing time. He maybe as good as he is ever going to be but we have seen flashes of what he CAN do just no consistency.

Ok...so if the last paragraph is ok to say about DC, then how do you explain Anthony Thompson? Because some of us feel the same way about him...and no I don't disagree w/ your argument...

But from being a player there are some players you need to pat on the back and there are some players you really need to lay into to get them going...I do firmly believe now that DC is in the latter group because of his lackadaisical attitude.

Apparently, he is our only option unless JL wants to play SS 40 minutes.

At least we know what DC brings to the table. We have yet to see AT get any playing time at all.

I think booing DC for bad play is stupid. It realy bothered me last night. Yeah, he missed a bunny. Yeah, he was weak on D. Either way, he was out there trying. He was actually more mobile and active on the court than he's looked for a while. He may have been out of position or had bad hands, but none of those things are things you should boo a player for. He's what we've got, so we have to support him.

Two booable offenses for a Bradley player should be bad attitude or bad effort. I don't think DC exhibits either of those traits. Booing DC is like Bears fans booing Rex Grossman for playing bad. It's more about how you wanted him to be a better player, than anything related to his actual game.

Anyway, I'm also in agreement. AT should have seen the floor last night. We're going to need him if Egolf is down with this injury. The only defensible excuse is if he's hurt, or the coaching staff thinks he'll get hurt by playing out there. The other thing is if he's completely mailing it in in practice... Otherwise, he needs to be playing, especially in a blowout.

Well said Fish. I agree with everything you just said.
