French judge fucked our Ice Dancing team by giving the US their lowest scores and the Frog/Surrender Monkeys their highest (8 fucking points higher than any other judge).
2 things have changed recently with this team that have ignited their confidence and overall play.
1. Obviously the Harder trade had been an Offensive spark and the whole roster had been affected.
2. The most significant in my opinion is that the play of the guys off the bench, Bryant and Tomlin, has lit a phenomenal fire in Jarrett Allen. Dude is playing angry and nowhere near the soft stuff we've seen from him in playoffs. If that continues there is a real Finals chance for this team.
Staying healthy has always been this teams issue but the bench just may finally be good enough to make it work.
It doesn’t hurt their entire strategy going into season was to treat the regular season at a different “level” so they’re fresher going into playoffs.
THAT is the biggest difference. It was an organizational decision to NOT prioritize winning the East. They decided being “healthy and fresh” was more important.
Good resilience at the end to hang and and pull it out when they got it close again. Gonna need to clean up the sloppy starts down the stretch but they keep keeping themselves above water.
Looking at the schedule, this next 5 games is where OSU really has to try and hold the line. Cannot afford a 5-game losing streak. Gonna be tough games here - UVA neutral, vs UW, @MSU, @Iowa, vs Purdue - all of those look like very difficult games for this team to win, but on the flip side they would all be in the quality win category if they manage to prevail.
T-bone makes that show unlistenable. I never listen to it anymore. Unfortunately I do like listening to Tyvis but T-bones just too much with his whiny little fat man takes.
Buckeyes at 16-8 with a huge game in Nashville vs. UVA coming up next. I feel like it's a winnable game, but it's not going to be easy. UVA has a stud freshman forward De Ridder who's big, strong, agile and skilled, and obviously they have a strong cast around him. The Cavaliers are especially good at protecting the rim, so you've got to find ways to score other than near the basket. It's gonna be interesting.
Finished with 21 against USC, which moves him up to 1950, needing 2097 to be in first place by himself. So 147 points in 7 games plus the postseason, easily doable for Bruce.
A lot of things a person could be critical about (except FT shooting, it's tough to criticize that tonight), gave up too many 2nd chance points, too many TOs, defensive lapses at times, some ill timed 3s, but the only thing I seem to recall is tOSU - 89, USC - 82.
GO BUCKS!!
