Message: [QUOTE="hungrychuck, post: 2864884, member: 389"] RE tomfoolery - everything chukwu does is a bit goofy - 2 games ago, instead of completing an uncontested dunk, he managed to foul out and turn the ball over after catching the ball wide open under the hoop - that was insane. so yeah by 'tomfoolery' i'm referencing everything he does - but also there was a specific play in the GT game that was egregious: again, as is his wont, he was under the hoop - but this time on defense - [B]somehow he managed to slam into hughes and hughes went to the bench holding his hip - late[/B]r on hughes was seen on the bench still holding his hip - i think that might actually be why buddy played so much in the second half - elijah didn't do much after that. then, pon the play chukwu got hurt - he bungled soemthing then tried to save it while twisting and falling but turned it over to start an opponent fastbreak...smdh...the guy is a walking clownshow... hughes has been papering over this team's bad shooting last couple of games - and since he had an off night- the lights came on and they werent ready. chukwu has managed recently to turn positive situations into bad ones, spectacularly - his most significant impact vs GT was injuring hughes and himself in the same game, imo -hopefully elijah is good for the Duke game - he's gonna need to ball out. hopefully JB realizes chukwu is a break glass only in emergencies player...it dumbofunded me that chukwu played so many minutes vs GT after the clemson game and that sidibe only played 4 minutes... sidibe got screened on a lob dunk and couldnt block it then rode the bench the rest of the game - to the TEAM's DETRIMENT. he was on a VERY SHORT LEASH. JB had a stinker in this one, imo.[/QUOTE] I'm not going to broadly defend Chukwu as some have, but I think you're being unfair here. GT was trying a backdoor alley-oop and Hughes followed his man to the basket trying to deflect the pass. PC trailed back trying to do the same. They collided. It was a basketball play. No more PC's fault than Hughes'. [/QUOTE]
