If you blame the CSU loss on Phil, you're nuts and have no clue about basketball, if you think we should've "pounded it inside" you're an idiot.. If you say Haith should be fired, you're overly emotional and ridiculous and have a false sense of reality.
The reason we loss, is because CSU was a tough ass team.. They had tough ass dudes and understand what it takes to win in the NCAA tournament. Throw talent and strategy out the window. First round games are emotion and will. Whoever imposes it, will advance.
This team had very little chemistry, frank Haith had to scratch and claw to try and find a team to put on the court. 4 transfers he had to find. 3 of the transfers have never won big in there college careers. Winning in the reg season has everything to do with chemistry and game planning. The game planning was there, I can tell you that. Chemistry not so much.
Phil played with dudes who could score the ball at a VERY efficient rate. Dixon, Ratliffe, Marcus and Myself. He never had to work hard or be a scoring threat. He never had to initiate a fight, he came to the fight with his big brothers. He was in a very tough position to start the season with brand new cast of characters.
I know I'm random in my thoughts. But I'm in the locker room in Charlotte just writing all this before I take the court for my pre game workout. I'm looking forward to reading stuff after I'm done. Last point. We didn't "throw it inside". Because we didn't have anyone to "throw it in too". Lbo at best is a slasher in transition and offensive rebound scorer. With pick and pop ability to 17 feet. AO is pick and roll machine and beast on the glass. Neither are players you just throw it in to. That would not have been our best offense.
I just blurted all my cluttered thoughts into this post. Maybe Gabe and I will do a brief post season podcast about this team. So my words may sound more coherent.

Kim is ridiculous, pulling the bullshit "you don't know about basketball" card, and I really wonder if he watched much MU this year, given that his points --when they're even coherent enough to form an argument-- are so off-base. But whatever; he's in the NBA and I'm not, so he's right.
