Can I like this post four times? Honestly -- the issue with this board isn't that there isn't argument to be made to play Griff over Buddy or kadary for 25 instead of 18, etc. It's that people obsess on this stuff when the real answer is: who knows? The head coach has to make that call and the reality for JB is -- he can't win. Don't forget, had we not pressed, people would have complained for four days, but since we pressed, they just switch to the rotation.

Bottom line: there isn't a great answer. On one of our better rosters, Buddy doesn't play the minutes he does now. But with last year's roster and this year's roster, he's as solid an option as any. Griffin will be better but tonight was brutal. Buddy hustles his a$$ off, and that's what JB went with and it worked. It's not a mona lisa. Not a win JB is going to talk about for the next 20 years. But holy christ, the idea that he's an idiot for any of the rotation moves he made tonight is laughable.

Give the man grief over the offense we run or the recruiting and I'm with you. I'm not saying I'm going to absolutely crush him for either, but there is room to criticize. Wonder a bit about the rotation? I get it. But I literally saw a post with people upset we didn't play a backup big, when our bigs were the only reason we won the game. It's insane.
