The original question wasn't pointed at you.  In terms of Durham, he does still lead the team in assists (which he has no business doing....it's embarassing to Phinnissee) and rebounds decently for a guard.  The fact is the poster who originated this has an unhealthy obsession to the point of not caring what Durham does on the court while assessing him.

The fact is that they way they are calling the game tonight, we are going to need all of our guards as the refs seems to want Dosunmu on the line.

There’s a place for Durham in the lineup for sure. I just hope going forward the difference in their minutes isn’t as big as it has been so far this year (33.6 to 7.5).

Why not start Lander? At this point, you play Phinisee like a backup.

Go underhand Race. (nice steal)

Anyone have Durham’s +\- so far tonight?  Just curious as he is not a bad player but we just look and feel better when he is not in the game. We are going to need him to pull this game out but just feels like we play better without him for some reason. Just curious what the numbers show?

According to the live stats, he' dead even: 0

3 on Rob, you're gonna get your wish

TJD either with terrible vision or being selfish. Either way not good. RP was wide open

I have bigger gripes with Phinisee than I do Durham this season. This we find some common ground on.

[LIHoosier 27,947]

There is NO reason that Rob is guarding Kofi on a baseline out of bounds play.

[HoosierAloha 30,102]

They called Cockburn for a foul?!

[TheWatShot 15,632]

We have 3 chances to extend the lead and miss 2 free throws, miss underneath, then get a shot clock violation. 

 

Then a dude hits a 3 for only the third time this season. 

[LIHoosier 27,947]

3 TO's in 3 minutes

[RaceToTheTop 31,587]

You know they won't call a third foul on Dosunmu.

[LamarCheeks 22,280]

That wasn't great defense -- that was a sh-t awful pass by Al. 

[Hoosierfan2017 25,176]

Phinisee is so disappointing as a player. After his freshman year I thought he’d make the kind of improvements Franklin has made. But he’s the exact same guy he was as a freshman. 

[LIHoosier 27,947]

Race has that 12 ft shot down. Now fix that 15 ft shot.

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 9,324]

Durham isn't a point guard. He's god awful at it. Quit trying it. He's a spot up guy only.

And yet he leads us in assists.

Definitely thought TDJ's first goaltend was a goaltend. Not sure about this one.

Reminds me of the Juwan Morgan PG times. Both made me incredibly nervous as they handled the ball. I don't get it with fully capable PGs in Lander and Phin.

Why is Coach Miller so loyal to Al?  Read the tempo of the game.
