Should've taken the guy off the dribble there on that last play

Drummond is a massive target down there under the basket. I can't emphasize that enough.

Can't understand why UConn never send a big up to set a screen at the top of the key? It would give them so much more options on offense.

I don't think Drummond is as lazy or passive as it seems. He just doesn't seem to have that beast mode in him (maybe that's laziness, not sure...) On that lob play near the end he seemed like he'd rather lay it in than make that Villanova guy get a face fulla crotch.

Was that just Jeremy Lamb or Richard Hamilton?

He's got beast mode. He entered it against Syracuse before he hurt his ankle, which turned the game back in Syracuse's favor. Unstoppable and-1 dunks, layups, and Fab Melo was playing well.

So it's just hiding then. The worst thing is a lazy big man.

Nice to hear Devlin commentating for the Grizzlies back in the day :)


Jesus, I hope he's better than Jamal Mashburn.


Better than Monster Mash? You'd better hope to Jesus!

With Jeremy Lamb's movement off the ball, shooting and creation ability he could send our offense to another level. Please God let this man measure out at 6'7".

Lamb has better separation moves than Barnes plus a whole lot more. I don't know how HB could be ahead of him. Again, I'd like to see them switch squads and look at their efficiency.

I agree with you, if only Lamb could be 6'8..He does have the long arms and high point of release on his shot though but that skinny 6'5 put one spot below than Barnes IMO.

But I do believe Lamb could be the better player in the NBA (Go figure)
