Harper and Bailey!
But last night, he had 4 late possesions. One make, one got blocked, and the other two missed, along with the missed ft. And it seemed he missed more in other games as the end neared though not certain of that. Terrific talent. But lets face it, the Spurs need a new coach or a new way to play. Ridiculous use of the best player alive. If they had a seasoned coach like Pop, would be different I think, W's play and his temperment.
Mitch is a good young coach...spurs were just the youngest starting 5 in a finals ever Come on
In my old man's opinion the way they play Wemby is tying a hand behind his back. I know nothing of the spurs but the Knick series. I can literally not tell you the coach's name. But color me unimpressed.
Robinson played 3:51 of 4th quarter and did not come in game until 5:30 left in reg.
Eh Wemby is a beast freak of nature unicorn. He did tons this series even if I don’t like some of his antics.
Yea ok great
Even the best freshman aren’t always so impactful when playing 22+ year olds. Bailey and Harper were plenty good at RU, but competing against more talented teams with grown *** men. I don’t think Pike is a great coach but I don’t think it’s on him either. Those kids were good as freshman but like most uber-talents the leaps they tend to make each year can be astronomical.
Brown did get a TO before Spurs had a chance to foul Mitch when the coach was telling them to do so
Absolutely correct. I think they went really small with Hart playing center until the under two minutes and The Spurs couldn’t foul Robinson intentionally. And then Robinson got the biggest offensive rebound of the Finals.
Absolutely correct. The Knicks went really small, I think they played Hart at center. Then Robinson came back in with two minutes to go when The Spurs couldn’t foul him intentionally and of course he grabbed the biggest offensive rebound of the Finals.
Reports are that Popovich was not too happy with Mitch's coaching either.
It was either Hart or Sochon I think when they were subbing Mitch back and forth to prevent the Hack-A-Shack strategy.
So you’re saying he gets a pass because they were playing men yet he just played extraordinary against even more grown men? Makes no sense
No I’m saying that Rutgers team with Harper and Bailey weren’t in the same class as numerous others in the Big 10, and that it isn’t uncommon for a team structured like that RU squad to struggle against older seasoned teams because even the best freshman have an adjustment period. Look at our 2000 squad.
I am pretty sure Pop and I are not the only ones. But I gotta admit it, "Pop and I" has a nice ring to it.
