Another Burrell thread...
« on: December 25, 2010, 11:05:30 PM »
Playing his balls off, this is the best hes looked since his freshman year. Should he start or continue to bring him off the bench?

I think his terrific performance has plenty of side kicks. Brownlee and DJ did a great job of working the ball around.

Burrell finished, but those 3 together on the court in the second half really did a great job of passing the ball inside.

Burrell needs to be our finisher, and whether he starts or not, we won't compete for anything of value w out his inside presence.

totally agree on both accounts. burrell has potential still as a senior to put it together for a solid year. all he needs is confidence and touches

 Finally they got the ball to him inside. Lavin  got them to make post entries and look for Justin inside.  Good basketball is played  Inside/ out. Burrell is only playing 17 minutes a game and not starting. It should be a no brainer to start him and double his minutes. Think what his line would have been if they had done that in the first half of last game and not just him going 6-6 in second half ! (25 and 12 plus certainly)
    Whether they continue with good passing inside is unknown.......I sure hope so......I didn't see the last game but it must have been sweet.

I am glad to see the improvement in Justin's game thanks to the utilization of him underneath where his strength can help him dominate.  I want him in the game at crunch time/end of game.  Bringing him in after the first media time out may give him an edge over his opposition and prevent him getting that early foul.  The fouls take away the aggressiveness he will need to dominate inside.  Justin is a nice person and i am glad to see him have continued success as he had such bad luck with injuries throughout his career which began with such high hopes and potential.

The big fella just has to keep going up strong and he'll be all BE.

Last 2 years, he kept putting it on the floor, or starting his move from too far away. In this last game, his positioning
was beautifully orchestrated.

Every time he got the ball, he wa right under the basket. It's great to see for Burrell's self confidence. He knows he can
do it now.

He def deserves the start, but as long as he keeps playing like this, i dont care wheter or not he atarts, as long as he gets significant minutes.   

Our big lineup of hardy dj brownlee polee burrell was great i thought.

I'm afraid that the strong effort on the inside was more a result of NW being weak as hell inside and us exploiting it, the masked center was a stiff of the highest order and they had no other size,  than JB1 all of a sudden morphing into Moses Malone.  It would be great if the upward trend in his play continues, however.

I've seen a number of posters write that WV will be a good test.  It's not a test.  It's an impossible spot to win against Huggy in Appalachia.  Now @Providence will be a suitable test of where we're at.

When was the last time we've beaten WV?

Doesn't that make it a test?
They aren't even ranked.
