I don?t care if he played 39 minutes. The quote was he couldn?t handle playing off the bench. Obviously, that wasn?t true against Bama. The quote was not he cannot handle playing a limited number of minutes.Quote:

Oh I agree with you that we are better with him starting and playing a lot. . He is the key. But he has to play the style he has played the last two weeks, not the style he played the first two months of the season. He said same thing in interview tonight.Quote:

Read his stat lines from Mizzou and USCe.Quote:

A month ago I didn't say Peters should never be the starter I said he shouldn't and didn't deserve to start over Carter THEN because Carter just had a 35 point game and Peters got himself suspended twice. You don't bench Carter then for a guy coming off a double suspension. That's how you lose your entire team. That's a move Stansbury would make not Howland. Got to earn your way back into the starting lineup. Peters did that and now Carter isn't all butthurt about it where he would have been if you put Peters immediately back into the starting lineup. Don't create cancer when you can just wait a month and cancer won't be created.Quote:

And Einstein I?m asking you why that was the situation. Why was Lamar suspended? Why wasn?t he starting? Subsequently why wasn?t he getting 1st team minutes to get in gear. You didn?t answer the question as usual. You answered what you thought was asked. I?d rather have a totem pole on the court vs Lamar 3+weeks ago.Quote:

Holy shit, we aren?t that stupid. Well at least I?m not. Playing a player struggling mentally and subsequently physically on the court is not a good idea for anyone. The fact you tout it is scary. Hell I can predict that that any player who starts hitting 9 of 10 from mid range will get more playing time.
No one can predict what Lamar was going to go. We all knew his potential. We all saw his sloppy selfish play. We all knew he could be who he?s been the last 2 weeks, if he got his head in straight. Nobody, including Lamar knew if this would occur
So what the f*ck exactly did you predict? Did you predict that water is wet? And that fire is hot?
You might be able to dupe most posters, but you aren?t bringing your F*cking bullshit here. I’ll post you up, Mutombo style.
When and only when, he plays for the team and not him self.Quote:

+1. He's just doing his usual trolling.Quote:
