I totally agree. I just get tired of the ones defending them and laughing at when someone suggests maybe Berg deserves some more minutes. Furst loses the ball way too much right now.
looks like you noticed my comment on Furst in the Berg thread today around 3;30. This is Furst's 3rd yr in and being a former Mr. Basketball, I was expecting a bit more. He misses most of his short shots, so so FT shooter, gets bottled up in the lane, then puts it on the floor and gets a jump ball call. Seems like he tries and plays decent D on opposing bigs, must of played against inferior competition in H,S. As far as TKR goes, seems like the more PT he gets, the better
Yea I am sure I can do that. This is a discussion board, other wise we would probably have all of our thoughts and concerns answered by the coach huh?
Actually I didn't see your comment, but agree with you. I know we know it's up to what coach wants, its his team, but we all have questions at times.
Berg has shown some promise, but we haven’t real seen him in a competitive situation yet. The coaches see all of the practices, so I have to trust Painter that he isn’t ready to break into the rotation, which is understandable, given Purdue’s depth on the front line.
Something tells me that Furst is going to have a breakout game, just like Loyer did, when he was the target of many well paid coaches on here a few weeks back! I know a lot of guys like to show how WISE of basketball minds you have, but at the end of the day your just a bunch of little puppies barking at a blank wall, waiting for someone to throw you a bone! Proud to be a BOILER!
Defense is still 50% of the game.
We did NOT win that tournament because our offense was on fire.
lol that guy doesn't really think when posting...just posts whatever pops up in his head and then will contradict himself later...
We all are rooting for the Boilers...but it is a discussion board for people to discuss...Purdue...basketball. Some think Berg should play over Furst, others do not and some don't have an opinion yet. But we all continue to want Purdue to succeed.
I started this about Furst, simply because if you have been watching games, he struggles to hold onto the ball. For the few minutes Berg has played, he has had an impact. I still want Furst to do well, so I hope he gets it turned around on offense very soon. I will be the first to hype him when he does.
But Furst has had a lot of trouble holding on to the ball If he can have an all around game soon, I will be applauding him for sure.
Sure, but he also has a track record and Painter knows what he is capable of. Players are going to have rough patches. Furst is very athletic and plays hard, but sometimes has to play through some rough patches.
So do you have this same view and opinion with Morton? Plays pretty good defense, but doesn't do anything on offense? Curious minds to want to know.
Actually I do and I take the view that if Loyer is killing us on defense so much, that his offense isn't gonna help enough only showing up every 3 to 4 games. We need both and last night I thought Furst was better than the game before. AGain, I don't dislike any of our guys. Been a fan for a VERY LONG TIME, but I have opinions on things just as everybody else does.Yes I do!!
But we know you don't have the opinion that playing pretty good defense is enough to earn pt.
In the last five games, Morton has played 50 minutes and scored O points. Just stating the obvious, grab some bench.
