Head Fake

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

Obviously the above is tongue in cheek, but there were a lot of people on this message board saying UK would lose a MINIMUM of 10 games, some were 12 to 15.

At most this team will lose 8 games, unless they completely collapse. Personally, if we don't lose tomorrow I'm saying we don't lose again!

Thank God for one among many who realizes a joke when they see it. :clap::clap::clap: I blame all the negativity on the Volvisitors...... GO CATS

So you feel like in Kenny's time at UK the growth of PJ, Bam, KAT, Jorts, AD, hasn't been a team strength?

I have about zero qualms with Payne...Tony Barbee however I am not nearly as glowing.

Well, it's all pure conjecture because we aren't at practice every day, but I can name just as many or more that hasn't been a "team strength".

WCS, Dakari,Poy, did not improve that much, if at all. WCS here 3 years, Poy for 4. I also submit that AD was as good from game one as he was at the end, so no, I can't see our bigs really improving that much. Payne sure hasn't done anything for Skal, WG,SKJ,Nick, EJ.

Dan Issel? How about Gimel Martinez? He would have had these guys leaving their feet to block nothing.

I also hate having 2 guys constantly going for the block like was previously mentioned. I'd rather not block hardly any shots and just play good defense straight up in the paint. Unfortunately, our guys constantly get beat off the dribble and that is what forces the secondary defender to automatically go for the block.

If you get beat by your man, instead of chasing after him, why not automatically run to the secondary defenders man and block out? I wish we could just plant a big in the paint near the basket so they don't get beat off the dribble to begin with.

That is what happened with the LSU game two defenders went for the block. If the second guy would of stayed on the floor and boxed out... no tip in

THIS!!!!

In his ABA days, I've seen Dan head-fake once . . . twice . . . sometimes THREE times before finally shooting the ball and/or going up for the dunk. And he did it so quickly that if he were standing in the lane, he would avoid the 3-second call.

Big Dan!!! And his eighth-grade head-fake!!!

GO BIG BLUE!!!

Our bigs under Cal have been our best players most years....I have no huge qualms over a decade with our big man play.
