1 week 4 days ago	My gut feeling is that he	My gut feeling is that he will be a high risk high reward type of player. He will have you throwing a beer can at the TV one moment and then have you singing hail to the victors the next
1 week 4 days ago	I have a away 7 from the the	I have a away 7 from the the last season with Nike. Had Gardner sign it. I was bummed when he switched numbers. Anyone have any good suggestions on a place that could be a Gardner name plate on the back and look authentic?

Makes perfect sense.

5 weeks 1 day ago	I saw Grady Sr get kicked out	I saw Grady Sr get kicked out of the Greenville vs EGR basketball game for refusing to follow the "do not eat" policy in the gym(they don't mess around with that rule). Dude had a hot dog and was throwing a fit like a child when asked not to enter the gym. The police had to escort him out.

He also fake laughs at everything! Huge isn't much better since he thinks he's a comedian but he isn't nails on a chalk board like Sean.

8 weeks 4 days ago	This thread feels	This thread feels familiar...
9 weeks 12 hours ago	If we ran an offense that	If we ran an offense that dumped the ball down to the post every posession, do you think they would all be playing for and/or coming to Michigan?      That sentence you wrote would suggest a offense change(that how it came off to me, but its the internet. No context). That is why I said that. We are not talking about doing it every time down the floor. More like three times a half.
9 weeks 12 hours ago	ahhh no its not. A "pick" on	ahhh no its not. A "pick" on the ball handlers defender then the pick man rolls is yes a pick and roll(or a pick and pop.. Or a slip pick.. I can go all day). A "pick" or "screen(we use the word screen for more off the ball stuff)" away from the ball is not a pick and roll. There is no "roll".  A guard coming off two down screens is not a pick and roll.
9 weeks 14 hours ago	Again no one is saying to	Again no one is saying to change the offense... Not sure why that is the thought here. Also there will always be more G/F then Centers. As they say "Bigs don't grow on trees" because they don't. That list of money proves nothing. No he isn't ignoring bigs at all. The new commit has a great post game for his age. The question is will he get to use it?
9 weeks 14 hours ago	Huh pick and roll? No I am	Huh pick and roll? No I am not talking about a pick and roll. I am talking about cross screens and down screens and peels and what not to open up the big for a pass from the wing.
9 weeks 15 hours ago	But Horford and McGary can't	But Horford and McGary can't score unless someone else puts them in a position   That is what I am talking about. If you run a screen down or across for Mcgary then someone makes the good pass to him under the hoop he will have a high % of scoring. The People for it are not saying here Mitch get us a tough bucket and just throw it to him. There is some X and O to this. I know he isn't KG or whoever. I also am not saying during March to just change it up and try it in a tight game but something that should have been in the system by now imo.
9 weeks 15 hours ago	I'm not saying change our	I'm not saying change our offense. Just throw in some post plays for easier baskets. When we go 5 mins without scoring. You go to that stuff when the offense isn't getting the shots to fall. Michigan has dug holes a lot this year with just letting it fly when defenses are good.  I don't want to be Wisc or MSU. I like what we do a lot. BUT FOR ALL THAT IS HOLY RUN A POST PLAY FOR OUR 6'10 CENTER!!!  Who I think could be good around the basketball if given enough touches. Just once every 15-20 plays. Make the defense adjust a bit. I think people are saying I want to change who we are. No just add a layer.
9 weeks 16 hours ago	No I agree now that the NBA	No I agree now that the NBA has no good bigs. Dwight Howard should be a man but isn't. Shaq would feast on this NBA. The bigs will return again some day. Right now they are just rare.
9 weeks 16 hours ago	Yes I said scrap the offense.	Double post.
9 weeks 16 hours ago	Yes I said scrap the offense.	Yes I said scrap the offense. NO I said a wrinkle here and there of post plays would do wonders for the bigs and the offense. I even said I really like the offense. I just don't like that Bigs are just bodies out there and nothing else at times.
9 weeks 16 hours ago	1990? Hakeem torn up the NBA	1990? Hakeem torn up the NBA in 94 and 95? Bigs were everywhere in the NBA through out the 90s.  Anyway yes Morris did a good job of finding his bigs. But what we ran up vs a bigger Duke team and lost by only bucket but its a part of the game imo and should be used to get the big dogs a drink now and then. Also draw fouls..ect ect ect As Barkley said on TNT once.. "I always got limos for my PG so they get to the game safe so their little bodies can dribble the ball up the court and give me the ball on the block"
9 weeks 16 hours ago	Its not about worrying. Its	Its not about worrying. Its about getting easy buckets, FT attempts, open 3s, more rebounding when you play better teams or bigger teams. Just because the offense is pretty solid now doesn't mean it couldn't be better or more of a threat with an added post game. Michigan went 5 mins without a score last night. Run a freaking post play to try and get an easy bucket or foul. Jump shots won't always fall....
9 weeks 16 hours ago	Yes you are right throwing	Yes you are right throwing down to post doesn't do you a whole lot(like here go get me points.. Unless your Shaq or something) BUT if you run a play to have Mcgary come across the lane off the screen where he gets it in layup land then yes it does a lot. Michigan never runs a single post play. It blows my mind.
9 weeks 16 hours ago	Another issue I have with our	Another issue I have with our coaches is refusing to play two bigs when needed. Wisc went ham on GRob for like 10 mins with no adjustment. If I remember right we played 2 bigs a lot vs MSU and I thought we played well doing it. You can't go four G/F and one big if a team is that much larger then you. Odds are it won't end well in rebounding and in the score. I do like our coaches and wouldn't trade them for anything but they need to adjust at times and use our bigs as players and not just big humans who screen and rebound.
