Q reads the pack?

[SpeckTaker]

He is showing us tonight that nothing is wrong.

Browsed the page during the half.

Q and the defense is better this half.

There is nothing wrong with him tonight. But if he doesn't put up at least 18 next game, he's lazy and something is off.

See i still think he looks tired. He's a step slower off the ball and looks disinterested. Yes even on on night when he gets 29. Yall think people are judging his performance based on points while that's exactly what you're doing. No, its not the points. Its that he isnt pushing like he used to 5 gms ago. His off the ball movement, desire to rebound, and commitment before a pass that sets up his teammates isnt the same.
Tonight it wasnt just him. A lot of guys look sluggish. I dont know if its youth and these guys arent used to playing so many games in a short amount of time or if theyre being drilled too hard in practice or what. But they look very slow and lethargic at times, unusual to their nature.

The ball must have magically bounced his way all night as he lead everybody in rebounds and steals.

Disagree.

I was one of the ones saying he wasn't playing his best. Clearly he and Howland agreed with that based on the post game comments by Howland. This, however, was a very complete game by him. I don't expect 30pts every night, but 15-20 WITH solid defense, limited turnovers and 5+ rebounds is a reasonable expectation based on his talent level. He even threw in 4 assists.

Everyone has a bad game every once in a while, but he's our best player so when he doesn't play well by his standards for a few games it's pretty obvious. Kudos to him for bouncing back like we knew he would eventually.

Again its not always in the numbers but i seem to be beating a dead horse so ill move on

I think you're fighting a losing battle here. Q does not have the energy of a player like Peters. He's more of a finesse type of player that makes it look easy. He might not appear to be "straining" as much as others, but he gets the job done. I agree that his play has been a bit off the past 5 games before tonight, but I imagine having a wrist hanging by a few threads would have something to do with it.

How do you workout your left arm with a torn ligament in your wrist and how does 10-15 years of limited ability in the weightroom for one of your arms affect your S&C development? Q needs to have the surgery asap. Redshirt him next year.
