Ok this is somewhat of a peeve of mine concerning sports fans.
It goes something like this: "Brimah needs to watch tape on Thabeet and learn how to properly block shots"
First off if it were as easy to be Thabeet as watching some tape everyone would do it.
Secondly, and this is in specific response to the Amida criticism, we have the best rim protector in the country sorry he's not also Hasheem Thabeet.
I agree that Brimah is a bit off in his stats, both offense and defense. He misses Hamilton lobbing him the ball for all those dunks, and he may be adjusting to extra weight. He plays hard but does not play smart. In fact there is a lot of dumb play by the entire team. The guards have made bad decisions regularly, and the bigs are not fundamentally sound and do not play smart, they gamble and try and go for blocks and allow too many O boards because they leave areas where they should be. This team needs to learn the concepts of spacing and positioning. I think Brimah should be watching tape of himself and shown what he is not doing, rather than shown tape of other players.
Which facts am I misstating? Amida is shooting 60% on the year with over 3 blocks per game and 23 mpg, the defense has been pretty alright. What is it you want, 65% shooting, 4 bpg, 30 mpg?They just played d as well as any team can holding Cuse to 31% from the floor. Florida shot nearly 43% on Duke. I'm not trying to be a db I'm confused by your point.One of my pet peeves is reading posts by guys like you that misstate the facts. Brimah is a little off. It is a fact. Look at the stats. I did not denigrate his skill. I am well aware Brimah's talents. I have watched him for 4 years. Brimah is struggling, I am trying to help the guy. If he looks at the Thabeet tapes, he may see something to help him. What better role model. He would appreciate the advice. Sorry you don't.
Brimah is a good kid but just a bad player. I'm sorry but throwing out stats at 4-4 with really no real good team we have played yet is silly.
we suck right now and Brimah's continued digression AGAIN this year hasnt helped.
Ollie has been terrible for 3 years now and I LOVE the man.
