See man, this why I like you. You can take a "punch", and just roll with it.
My man..
Doing good. Docs are still trying to figure out my heart rhythm thingy. Went to UK Hospital for some test last week. Changed my meds, and set me up with Dr. Hessellon. One of the top cardiologist/EP dudes around. I'm having a ton of PVC's. Not dangerous. Hopefully they can figure this shit out.
Changing subjects, if you could pick Tom Allen or Jeff Brohm as your coach, who would it be and why?
Yep. They are not life threatening. Just annoying. I have about 100 or so, per day. But still, someting is wrong. SHouldn't be having that many. Hope it gets figured out. Good thing is, they gave a script for a muscle relaxer...Told my wife---Not sure if the muscle relaxer is working, or if it just just ****s me enough that I don't care...Laughing
Uhhh they lost bench guys while Purdue has lost all of its best players
They did lose Hunter who was a top 50 guy but he was going to be a freshman and we have no idea what kind of season he would’ve have.
Is this serious? Romeo was a bench guy? Hunter certainly wouldn’t have been a bench guy. Phinisee was a bench guy? Green was a bench guy?
Not really a smart response from you. Lol.
I think he meant lost them for the majority of the season. Hunter is the only one that fits in that category.
Romeo played the entire year and he was never known as a shooter. Phinisee played almost the entire year.
So that’s the line? Has to be lost for the majority of the season? Missing games doesn’t matter now? Lol. Come on man. Either admit that injuries matter or they don’t.
He played with an injury to his shooting hand that required surgery. Trying to iimply it didn’t or wouldn’t have any impact is ignorant. Don’t be this dumb.
He also missed games due to a back injury.
RP missed 3 which would be the equivalent of a football player missing a game.
Langford missed 3 which would again be the equivalent of a football player missing a game.
Green missed 7 which would be like missing 2 or 3 football games.
Davis missed 5 games which would be missing 1-2 football games.
Hunter missed the whole season.
Phinisee missed like three games. Green missed a couple. Romeo missed a couple but his injury to his hand was early in the season and he played through it because he didn’t want to abandon his teammates (per Juwan Morgan).
Given that we missed the tourney by roughly one additional win, those injuries were extremely impactful. I would also argue it wasn’t any one injury, but more the amount of injuries and the constant dealing with someone being out to injury.
Not all of Greens missed games were injury related. He was suspended multiple games too.
That’s fair. I think with better injury luck IU would’ve likely been a tournament team. Probably win a game at most in the tournament I’d guess. They still had issues with shooting the ball.
Just making the tournament would have made the season seem completely different. Winning a game in the tournament for Miller in his second year would have been a great improvement for his second year.
As an added point, I don’t absolve Miller from
some blame. We shouldn’t have lost 12 of 13 games. Not saying we could have split that brutal stretch, but regardless of injuries, we should have won at least another game or two.
Bench guys? Phinisee was our starting PG...HUnter was a Top 50 freshman,who eventually was gonna start. Langford tore a ligament in his shooting hand. Sure played. But nowhere near 100%. De'Ron Davis was a starter, who was hobbled for 85% of the year. Those aren't bench guys. Those are dudes that if at 100%, really, really help. Losing 7 rotation guys is tough, brother. But I get it. It doesn't fit your argument.
Not sure how this compares to having QB1 for only two games the entire season, LB1 out the entire season, DT1 possibly out the entire season, WR1 out at least 3 games, WR2 out 3 games so far, WR4 out the last 2 games, RB1 out the entire season so far, RB2 out the entire season so far, and DT2 out the rest of the season.
Missing 3 games isn’t that big in the grand scheme of a full season of basketball. Hunter hasn’t played a game yet, who knows how much he would impacted the team last season. You guys sht on Davis all the time, it’s not like he was nearly as important as Morgan. Langford played nearly the entire season.
I would agree that those injuries could have been a couple games, but you can acknowledge that we’re missing frontline guys that are absolutely key to any team.
Hahahaha. This is so dumb.
A scorer injured his shooting hand and played through it all year and you’re incapable of actually admitting it likely had some negative impact on his shooting.
If you guys had a Top 50 type recruit, who was known as a high level shooter, and he missed the entire season you would have been screaming about much of an impact they would have had.
Just admit it man. The amount of injuries IU had last year directly impacted their team significantly and was a huge reason for missing the tournament.
Nah. Having over half our roster miss games was more impactful than you guys losing a few guys.
Side note. We were winning before a number of these injuries. Purdue lost to Nevada and TCU leading me to believe there may have not been a significant different one way or another if there weren’t injuries.
Ok we’re done with this then. Now it’s clear that your such a hater that your incapable of being reasonable.
Maybe you cannot read very well. I dunno. Yes, Langford played nearly the entire year. But he did so with a torn ligament in his thumb. If you don't think that impacted his abilities, then I question your ability to talk basketball.
Yes, Rob only missed 3 games. But the injury went beyond missing games. He was never the same after the concussion. Not until late did it seem he got back to where he was before the injury. Missed a ton of practice time. Even after being cleared.
Yep, a lot of Hoosiers piss on Davis. I get that. But he was an important piece, and he showed that early. When healthy, dude can be dominant. He was as close to 100% early inthe season, than he had been in a long, long time. When he got hurt again, it just shut him down. Losing him thinned out an already thin F/C. Plus, no one ever said he was as important as Morgan. But thats irrelevant. He was important to the team.
Like I said---I get it. Its ok for you guys to whine about injuries...But not IU. Understand that. But dude, Indiana lost 7 rotation guys, for clsoe to a 100 games. To dismiss that, and cry about your own(injuries) is just stupid.
Edit: As for Hunter....You are correct. Just a frosh. So his impact is simply guessing, so to speak. But I kinda of like to feel that a Top 50 kid of his talents, probably help IU. But thats just me. A 6'7" athletic wing, that can shoot and defend .....Meh....Me? Yeah, I think he helps. If he stays healthy this year, I think you'll see just how much he would have helped. Kid can ball.
Certainly had an impact. I can’t say it would have resulted in a victory though. Tough to gauge the impact in a one and done style tournament.
Why does TCU keep getting lumped in with Nevada though? Nevada yeah we were fully healthy. TCU we were without our best defensive player for the first time and Sindelar didn’t play.
Says the guy who doesn’t think a scoring guard would be negatively impacted by an injury to their shooting hand. Lol.
