Game 17: Michigan at Iowa Open Thread

Dejulius and Brooks kept the team in the game despite the foul trouble and continued poor interior defense. Opportunities abound in the second half.

Much better end to half than at Minni.And with out X bodes well.

I think Juwan is a good coach. I also think his substitutions and lineups are shitty, even if you factor in foul trouble, injuries, and overall weak bench.

I still like our chances in second half.

What is so hateful about thinking he is the 7th or 8th player on a good team? He starts because the only other option is Adrien Nunez.

How do you not give DDJ more minutes, than he has been getting in the last two weeks

Brooks has come to play today and DDJ is just a player who needs more run with Livers out.

DDJ scores on 3 possessions in a row? Forgive me, I can’t watch right now

You trash him. He’s playing well and you give a sarcastic remark. You argue with one of Brooks actual real life friends. You’re just a dick.

He’s gotta be first man off the bench, if not starting for Johns. Our defense has been so shitty, who cares about matchups. Try it out! It worked vs Purdue!

He brinks excellent defense and intelligent floor leadership and communication. My guess is he’d start and play for a lot more teams than you think. He is a solid anchor for any team.

Sure. The secret is to never have an opinion

Sorry, I flagged this. Once it gets personal like this. . . out of bounds.

Brooks does shell up a lot. So I can see the criticism there. But he does have a quiet confidence about him. He reminds me a lot of maar. Can play downright dirty if you push him enough

That was the epitome of a hot take–ill considered, negative, proved wrong almost instantly. Just waiting that split second to make sure a post is a good idea. . . rarely a mistake.

Or you know, don’t start acting like the sky is falling whenever Michigan is down by 8+ points. It’s easy to just not spew pessimistic statements all the time. I just don’t get how we see people jumping at their keyboards to trash their own team at the slightest sign of anything negative.

Probably the part where you don’t say that, but rather stuff like

I like DeJulius when he’s not taking long 2’s. He’s coming on strong.
I fist pumped when Nunez hit the three. He believed in himself when no one else did. I guess that’s part of the equation that gets you from nowhere to a full ride to a school like Michigan.

Thinking very few review before they click the reply

Or it’s just a prediction of what you can reasonably expect to happen based on the evidence? We ran the clock down when Iowa had four fouls to give. Iowa used a foul with 4 seconds left and still had 3 fouls to give. Dave made a great play in conjunction with Iowa absolutely blowing their coach’s clear defensive plan.

What is so agonizing to you about my post? Whose feelings are hurt by my post?
