So if we want to win by a lot dont play Gavin.He played and hes fine
First half was all about ramming it down Juwans throat
So if we want to win by a lot dont play Gavin.
If we want the game to be closer play Gavin?
I mean - yeah. Pike saw right away Michigan had no answer for Jeremiah. They couldn’t stop him in transition or dribble penetration. Best to run with guys who could keep pace because J will looks to pass.No
pike strategy was to run it down their throats
This was not our same strategy all year
So in your mind Gavin is the reason this team has not played well all year…..So if we want to win by a lot dont play Gavin.
If we want the game to be closer play Gavin?
What was the strategy all year? Not playing to win?No
pike strategy was to run it down their throats
This was not our same strategy all year
And gavin isnt good in transition?No
pike strategy was to run it down their throats
This was not our same strategy all year
He certainly hasnt helpedSo in your mind Gavin is the reason this team has not played well all year…..
Noah takes a step back 3 with Gavin wide open. He made it but that was the wrong play.Griffiths made one 3 pointer but again his teammates aren't passing him the ball when he is open for shots.
No. Tonight's starters presented optimum defensive matchups against Michigan. Had to get Cliff involved early and utilize drives to the hoop. Could not chance Michigan getting comfortable. When Gavin got in later in the game, it looked like we had some good ball movement. When Noah got in there, he was doing a good job being Mr PITA.So if we want to win by a lot dont play Gavin.

He certainly hasnt helped
There is a part of me that wonders what would have happened if pike hadnt force fed gavin minutes
1. You have no idea how the team would if his minutes went elsewhereWhen did that happen? He only played double digit minutes in 9 B1G games and we went 3-6. If you throw out the Purdue games, we went 3-4. But yeah sure we lost because of Gavin. Haha
So Oscar’s 1-2 3 pts 1 rebound and 1 assist is so much more productive than Gavin’s 1-2 3 pts 4 rebounds and 1 assist, oh a don’t forget his 4 personal fouls!He certainly hasnt helped

oskar has been much better this season than gavin. Not even close.So Oscar’s 1-2 3 pts 1 rebound and 1 assist is so much more productive than Gavin’s 1-2 3 pts 4 rebounds and 1 assist, oh a don’t forget his 4 personal fouls!
Gavin is a rookie. He has to earn his minutes and earn his shots. Fans should have never bought into the prophecy that he would be a starter from Day 1.oskar has been much better this season than gavin. Not even close.
Oskar works harder and is more physical and has teammates respect.
Stop…., saying we won by 30 because Gavin only played 11 minutes could possibly be one of the more ridiculous things I’ve read on here. We started the game 7-7 2-2 from three Jeremiah Williams could not be stopped- we had balls falling into our hands and got wide open baskets when they should have been turnovers. The basketball gods were on our side tonight. The fact that GG played less time had absolutely nothing to do with it. You sound silly.Michigan is real bad, but in a game where Gavin is finally out of the rotation and we win by 30+ points is the wrong time to question why Gavin isnt playing

You are CLUELESS1. You have no idea how the team would if his minutes went elsewhere
2. Based on him getting freezed out it tells you what the players think about him playing. Chemisrty is better without him. That is an indictment on his teamnates for sure
I cant help but think what if austin plays instead of gavin against NW. instead of being down 16 what if it is only 10. Maybe we dont have to play guys so nany minutes and we have legs in our losing streak
People are sugar coating. He has been Dreadful. Lately any stretch where he has made plays he has given it back and more on the other end.
It isnt right for him to have a string as long as he has had of being bad as still pkay when guys on tge bench ate better. It is terrible for morale
Just put that guy on ignore like I did. Every reply I see to his posts is always yelling at him lol … more confirmation for doing if
No I think it was because Mag didn’t play, we need to bench Mag so we can win by 30 every night.we played 3 walk ons l. every time we play 3 walk ons it’s a blow out. therefore playing 3 walk ons results in a blow out . Thus we need to keep playing 3 walk ons.
Only slightly less stupid then his comment
This. Really puzzled by the logic of FIG and bac30 pt win and we had a guy give us 30 minutes while bricking his way to 1-7. Yeah, there were plenty of minutes available for other guys, including Gavin.
You tend to over credit Pike in wins and over blame him in lossesthis is a bizarre thread to focus on GG as the reason we blew out a shit team that plays no defense
we won tonight because of Pike strategy and gameprep
the team was executing it so well for most of the first half that no change was needed

That is not saying we won by 30 because gavin didnt play
Anyone that doesnt agree or see the following isnt being honest with themselves
1. Gavin has been real bad this year
2. Certain multiple teammates are not passing to him
3. It isnt good for morale to give him minutes over others as he hasnt earned them
This. Really puzzled by the logic of FIG and bac
So Gavin is allowed to be in the rotation in closer games and losses but relegated to 10th man in a blowout win bc we can't risk him getting a few minutes? But Simpson OK to play 30 stinking it up only making 1 bucket a gift dunk that fell in his lap
Just an odd perspective IMO
Gavin 161.8 offensive rating. 32% DREB was actually even higher than Cliff in limited time. Gets a WIDE open 3 he easily drained. Potentially could have been a confidence builder with some more minutes tonight with near zero risk of a loss even if he played poorly
The thought he couldn't handle the pace of the game seems silly to me. I think Gavin is pretty obviously better suited for that type of game where it's spread out and faster paced. He certainly hasn't thrived in the half court. Transition open 3's are more readily available compared to our half court offense that doesn't get him open looks. Gavin has straight line speed to run the floor as well
You make no sense.
You’ve been all over Gavin . Trying to make the point that pike playing him “too much” somehow is part of the reason for losses.
If that were true. If you were right - Wouldn’t a 30 point blowout be the one time that player like gavin SHOULD get extended minutes ?!? I mean it’s not like his presence is going to result in a loss
…and yes you were trying to imply that part of the reason for the 30 point win was because Gavin played limited time. It’s entirely consistent with other posts you’ve made about him. But nice try at back tracking after others mocked the absurdity of it
