Whats up with Fair?

[albanycuse]

Hasnt played up to par in a long time. We need his efforts in the next game. When his shots not falling hes not so productive even though he had a nice drive to the hoop for ft's.

his attack of the rim today to get henr. in foul trouble wad huge though

No clue what's wrong with CJ. He lacks confidence right now. JB needs to build him back up in practice. If we get a two-headed monster going with him and James we will be more versatile.

Cj changed the whole complexion of the game drawing those fouls, great coaching by jimmy

 

[DomeStranger]

I haven't ever asked for JB to change his lineup, but I really would like to see JS start and CJ come off the bench. CJ obviously did better in this role before and I like the idea of getting JS warmed up earlier in the game. I think it could be big positives for both their confidence right now.

Yeah ever since has been in the starting lineup he's been awful. He'll be back though, no worries.

I agree with the posters above who talked about his drives, he was more aggressive today than he has been, which is a good sign; his shots will fall eventually.

I think JS would play much better coming off the bench as he does with less pressure off the start.. the same thing might be happening to CJ. has not shot well since he started.

I liked his play today. Other than the 3 pointer, he put himself in the right position to do damage. The shots were just not falling. Fortunately, the last 3 foul shots did and hopefully that will be a springboard for next week.

 

[Forloveoforange]

Yes, I felt CJ looked comfortable the last couple of minutes he played, and was expecting good things from him...

I think JB should start no one and bring everybody off the bench.

CJ just needs to hit one of his baseline 12-footers...He seems to just be off...I like that he went inside today; that's a start. Go inside and the outside game will come. Wish he's put away his three-pointer 'til next year though. He can't hit the ocean from 12...he shouldn't be shooting from 20.

I'd kill to get him an easy bucket in transition, or an entry pass for a dunk--something easy to get the lid off of the basket.

He's just not making anything right now. Most of his looks are good shots, they just aren't dropping.

I've been saying for several games now: JB ought to run a set backdoor lob to him early in the game to get him going.

All of his misses are off the back rim, for some reason, even when shooting from the side.

During the Big East Tournament last week they said Fair and someone else (Keita maybe, I don't remember) were both fighting the flu. I had it starting on Wednesday of this week and its still lingering so I am wondering if he is maybe still feeling the after effects still. Hopefully by Thursday he is feeling better.

I think CJ is missing Fab, as in Fabs presence helped CJ play his game. CJ was able to pick his spots more and "disappear and reappear" more in the offensive flow when Fab was there.

I heard Scoop trying to stifle coughs in the presser. Hope he is getting over it (explaining his woes??) instead of catching it. During Scoops slump I remarked he looked tired.

Start with the walk-ons and Christmas. Win the tip and call a timeout....Sub... Win!

That would help improve the bench scoring / starters ratio.

Fab was still on the team in New York.

 

[longislandcuse]

I would love to get CJ going and I think he will play better going forward but our lineup with Dion and Southerland in is such a monster that I think I want them in the majority of the game.
