obvious something weird was going on with Tonje so losing the hardest worker on defense and rebounding was the kiss of death. Not bringing in a SEC level big for the 2nd year in a row was discouraging from the start.

What do you think our record would be right now if we had - Tiger_1995 MU - 2/7 09:57:10

Grill would have meant at least 3 more wins in league play - El Zorro MU - 2/7 13:45:16

I totally agree with you.Many of the 9 + losses were due to - oldtgr MU - 2/7 14:49:01

I knew it was over when Grill went down. It was already - Uncle John MU

Agree and Tonje was fool's gold...never looked healthy(nm) - oldtgr MU - 2/7 15:58:59

Injuries are impossible to predict - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/7 14:58:28

Agree but if it had been Lewis,Pierce, Butler..less impact(nm) - oldtgr MU - 2/7 15:10:20

People were probably too high last year and are probably - alwaysright MU - 2/7 14:41:07

Everyone expected a step back. No one expected all-time bad - sprintcar STL - 2/7 15:05:02

Very few here thought a step back was either - alwaysright MU - 2/7 15:54:32

Keep track of who’s in the game - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/7 14:57:26

It is 110% true that Gates has tried to play too many guys. - alwaysright MU - 2/7 15:23:27

For this team it’s sure. But that’s also his background - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/7 15:26:40

10 can be ok. But he’s tried to go 12-13 at times. - alwaysright MU - 2/7 16:25:57

Would he have stopped at 10 if - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/7 16:34:44

There is a debate for that, but there is also a - alwaysright MU - 2/7 16:41:54

The guys at the top are playing a lot. - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/7 16:56:22

Mostly agree with this. - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/7 13:59:04

Kobe +3 game difference, Hodge +6 so far - TigerFan92 STL - 2/7 13:44:50

Hodge was an elite defender. Really apparent when courtside(nm) - Tiger_1995 MU - 2/7 14:22:16

He was elite at getting steals. - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/7 14:24:29

What if we had Kobe, Hodge, Gholston and Gomillion? - haeffb MU - 2/7 13:38:35

Don't even need Gholston and Gomillion, just Kobe and - Uncle John MU

- 2/7 15:31:55

At least 25 wins(nm) - Tiger_1995 MU - 2/7 14:14:37

If we had Wilt he would be standing at the 3pt line or - alstl MU - 2/7 13:32:20

undefeated - phrejd MU - 2/7 13:08:27

And what if pigs could - stl 83-93 MU - 2/7 12:41:17

Not likely one player makes a drastic difference, especially - GA Tiger MU - 2/7 12:02:30

You don't think Kobe would be a 10 point improvement over - Tiger_1995 MU - 2/7 14:13:09

I think Kobe would give us about 2 more wins to this point.(nm) - SuperTone MU

- 2/7 11:43:52

Fantasy Basketball? Reality vs What If? Idle conversation! - Sigma MU - 2/7 10:53:41

Are you under the illusion that anything on Tigerboard is - Tiger_1995 MU - 2/7 11:38:05

Kobe is better than a good player. - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/7 10:02:01

I agree. I remember looking at the box scores last year and - Tiger_1995 MU - 2/7 10:10:57

defense is our biggest problem IMO. we can't stop anyone(nm) - TigerA MU - 2/7 10:03:38

Had the same issue last season - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/7 10:07:12

I think D is considerably better than the RBing. That - GA Tiger MU - 2/7 12:04:37

The defense and rebounding are both better than last season - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/7 13:06:25
