Thanks Shabazz for your contributions in our three victories over UConn.

Glad he made that first NBA three so he would continue to chuck em up.

UConn fans seem to love the guy, but I've always thought that he had mid-major level talent. Olander as well.

If he'll listen to JC he has the talent to be good. Seems like some chemistry/glory issues on that team

Agreed. Why Lamb doesn't get a majority of the shots is beyond me. He's clearly better than the other guards.

my favorite player. always makes great plays for us

I believe it was Doug G who said he'd be the 1st point guard taken in the draft if he came out this year (this was a while ago)...

Olander definitely isn't a Power 6 conference talent. Napier can be good, but he's much better suited in a facilitator role. If he has to take 15 shots in a game, UConn will lose 95% of the time.

Napier would be a nice back-up, he seems to hit some clutch shots so I can understand some UConn fans being enamored with him, but he seems a step slow most of the time.

My favorite moment of the game was when UConn had 30 seconds left or whatever, Napier is just pounding the ball, and Lamb is standing perfectly still begging for them to reverse the ball to him with Dirty standing a millimeter away from him the entire time. You can't reverse the ball to you moron, you're standing still and covered.

Thankfully his ball hoggery today kept the ball out of Lamb's hands. Seemed like it even made Lamb quit in the 2nd half and basically say screw it and just stand around. Napier took twice as many shots as Lamb. That's just not right.

No doubt.
I believe Olander also took more shots than Lamb. Ouch (for uconn).

Lamb and Harrison Barnes seem to play like they don't really give a about basketball 65% of the time. When they want to dominate though they're both phenomenal talents.

The UCon board places a lot of the blame for this years season on his shoulders.
