no need to apologize , just agreeSorry if I missed your post Pa.
That is what a pt guard isYes, he's a good PG. That's it. You can't expect him to win you games. He doesn't have it in him. Exactly, why he has so many assists. He needs good players around him to win games.
Edwards wasn't leading our team an assists, but he could lead this team to wins.
or HarrisCox does not deserve to start…go back to Colvin or Heidi starting.
Ya never know. The '99 team crashed harder than this down the stretch and lost to Michigan in the B1G Tournament. They pulled it together and made the S16.Crash and burn to 3 and 6 to end the season. I have lost faith.
And those idiots named him BTPOYSmith gave you 2 pts in the second half
2 months of him not getting it done when it matters on offense
do you guys think he's worth 4 or 5 Mil next yr ?That is what a pt guard is
another 2nd half collapse, don't want to hear about tired legs, Mich didn't, usc didn't
Yes, but he needs to lead this team to WINS. We are 3-6 our last 9 games. He isn't doing his job.....is he? Do you really believe he is? Come on.That is what a pt guard is
What does that say for the B1G. If this team had a BTPOY and we aren't in the top 4-5 of the conference. 3-6 last 9 is all you need to see.And those idiots named him BTPOY
one could argue for TonjeAnd those idiots named him BTPOY
So you say bench him?Expecting Smith and TKR to win games isn't happening. We finished this stellar year at

Would be nice if Harris could play 10 minutes at PG and significantly reduce the workload next year.I hear you, but in defense and to be fair to Braden Smith - he is being hounded all game long, has the ball in his hands a ton, has to run the offense, and is playing 39/40 minutes - those are more stress-impacted minutes than some other guys. There is also the mental fatigue, which also affects focus and concentration.
He won't make excuses, and it's not an excuse - just an observation.
I've only seen one guy play that seemingly never needed a rest, and he played 50+ years ago. Everybody needs a rest every now and then - Painter knows that, but he is somewhat in a quandary with how important BS is on both ends of the floor - appears to have caught up to him.
No, we need him. This team is constructed horribly. I love CMP, but he did a mediocre job on this one. We keep expecting more out of Smith and Loyer and nothing changes.So you say bench him?
We were 4th in confWhat does that say for the B1G. If this team had a BTPOY and we aren't in the top 4-5 of the conference. 3-6 last 9 is all you need to see.
U know better than coaches and press, u have always impressed me as a bball geniusHonestly, it should have been.
You are a homer. You don't see anything negative and a game we got blown out and went 3-6 last 9 games..... you're brilliant.U know better than coaches and press, u have always impressed me as a bball genius
I think some of these people really think Smith is better than Magic Johnson. 😂You are a homer. You don't see anything negative and a game we got blown out and went 3-6 last 9 games..... you're brilliant.
Oh, I think Smith is good. I just understand he has a limited skill set. People equate him leading this team with assists means he can lead them to wins.....not so much.I think some of these people really think Smith is better than Magic Johnson. 😂
And FTR, I have a Smith NIL jersey, I'm helping him buy cyber trucks, so nobody question my contribution to this team!
He's the best PG Purdue has ever had.Oh, I think Smith is good. I just understand he has a limited skill set. People equate him leading this team with assists means he can lead them to wins.....not so much.
Many also understand great PG's make other players good on the team and what player has really evolved this year above expectations? He hasn't necessarily done his job to the fullest.
I don't want Smith to wear another jersey, but I also want more from him and CMP's roster structure.
We did lose Catchings ( although he’s a head case ) and JacobsenNo, we need him. This team is constructed horribly. I love CMP, but he did a mediocre job on this one. We keep expecting more out of Smith and Loyer and nothing changes.
I would let Loyer walk, keep Smith, TKR and go get a couple big gritty guards that are dogs and another big. We just don't have that.
Totally disagree with that. I said it earlier, Colvin and Heide are erratic and have a good game and then two bad ones where they help very little.Hate to say it, but Painter is cheating Colvin out of his college career.
Loyer's defense isnt' the issue with this team. He took two great charges tonight. Can't understand why you guys are all over his ass when he's the leading three point shooter in the league and ranked highly in the nation.I would start Colvin and Harris instead of Loyer and Cox. Loyer’s defense is too much of liability…and is taken out of his game offensively against athletic guards. Then….he has a big negative contribution to the game. I don’t think Purdue would miss Loyer next season. Major changes need to be made to talk about a deep run in the tourney next season.
Painter is never ever ever benching Loyer.I would start Colvin and Harris instead of Loyer and Cox.

Nor should he ever think about it.Painter is never ever ever benching Loyer.
