Is it about Battle?

[hungrychuck]

Have no interest in arguing about who has the flu, etc.

But it does seem our best times of late have been triggered by a productive TB, and our slump the opposite.

He does seem to be our difference maker.

Anyone disagree?

He's our best penetrator. When he's on he commands the defenses attention and often will draw double teams if he gets into the lane - leading to open looks for AW3, Lydon or Gillon.

He's the one guy that can really break down the defense - Gillon can do it but his size really limits him finishing - Battle at least can draw fouls

No.

Hes key, when hes on we got 4 legit guys (at least) on offense and it gives JG more space to do his thing. AND his D can be a difference maker. Howard not so much.If he doesnt get back to 100% we need a miracle imo

 

[Trueblue25]

He penetrates and opens up space for other players. Wish he'd do that more often instead of shoot the three - though he's a solid perimeter player.

I think we have a more solid inside game when he's in and aggressive. Lydon, Roberson and Thompson all benefit from that.

Did JB mention him in the presser tonight? Can't understand why he didn't get more run when Gillon was obviously spent.

 

[Jack Hall]

JBs whole offense predicated on dribble drive. Who you rather have doing that ? TB or FH ?? We shall seegoing down the stretch.

JG imo is effective at dribble drive, he's just gotta pass it more

We played most of the second half with only 3 players who can shoot -- and one of those was a 5-9 guard who can only shoot when he's wide open from 3. It's an absolute miracle we were able to send that game to OT.

But the fact is we should have made sure we won it in regulation. Missed opportunity.

He actually did - he thougth Battle wasn't 100% and didn't have his "legs under him"

Makes sense. Thanks.

I can't watch the presser tonight. I know it will piss me off.

 

[retro44]

Well the next game is Sunday night...

 

[pearl31]

clearly still not physically up to the task tonight - hope he gets there with 6 days of (relative) RnR

 

[Cuse House]

Battle needs to do what he did during our 5 game streak the next three weeks. Be aggressive, attack gaps, and finish at the rim. He's really our only finisher around the rim on straight line drives. White has been good at it of late, but Battle is without a doubt our best driver.

 

[FrancoPizza]

All I know is the committee won't care if Battle was sick or that Frank had blackmail photos of Robey and Julie hanging out.

We just need to find a way to pull out 3 more wins. Just win baby.
