re: Temple's lack of offense makes my blood pressure rise

The bottomline is that he obviously did not HAVE HIS WAY against Temple. IF you attended the game in Baton Rouge, you would remember that Temple was on him like a glove.

I neither attended nor watched that game. This is my first year back in the pmac (on a regular basis) since 2002. I was addressing TigerAuthority's comment about his defense during our Final Four run... which is somewhat myopic considering the only performance of note was against Redick.

When you mentioned Law, you were obviously talking about DEFENSE.

Good grief, how people feel somehow justified in criticizing student athletes is beyond me.
Face it, if you knew what you were talking about, you'd be in the business.

So dismiss my comments on his offense because of some stats you looked up regarding Law's performance in the NCAA Tournament? That was only 2/3 of my response anyway. Again, I'll rewatch the second half this evening and come back with a response. I didn't see the game in BR so I can't comment.

Just for the record, here's a quote from lsusports.net concerning the game in Baton Rouge.
quote:
Handcuffed by defensive stud Temple throughout the evening, Law, who averaged 15.0 points per game entering the evening, scored his first basket of the game with 13:55 to play to stop the Aggies' bleeding momentarily.

Good grief, why people feel it necessary to hold student athletes beyond criticism is beyond me.

False. He contained Law when he was on him which was not the entire game. Also, in the UCLA game he guarded Afflalo most of the game. Strictly a cold-shooting night for the Tigers in that game IMHO.

Not at all, I've already addressed Temple's offensive woes in this thread. He's not a great offensive player and that is pretty obvious. I was sitting 8 rows from the court in Jacksonville and I was obviously at the game in Baton Rouge. In no way, shape, or form did Acie Law HAVE HIS WAY with Temple.

OK. Obviously Temple contained Law in BR, therefore my comment about his athleticism not being enough to contain Law in general was misguided. Happy? I still want to rewatch the tournament game.

Think of Temple as LSU's Dennis Rodman, just without the piercings, tattoos, neon hair, lipstick, did I miss anything?
Wasn't Temple the one who did such a good job on Reddick?
I'll take his lack of offense in return for his shutting down someone else'w star.

It should also be noted that Temple was named to the 2008 All-SEC Defensive team and I'm sure he will land those honors again this season. I can understand you knocking him on offense, but I'm not sure why you would try to degrade him on the defensive end.
Here's a quote from an NBA scout concerning Temple on the defensive end.
Here's a quote from an NBA scout concerning Temple on the defensive end.
quote:
Temple is a stud on the defensive end. His enormous wingspan and solid quickness allow him to get out in the passing lanes and create a ton of deflections. Able to stay in front of his man laterally, his length enables him to block a substantial number of shots for a player playing the guard position. Defensive potential is without a doubt one of the main selling points of Temple as a prospect.

AC Law was 5-16 from the field in that game.

Not to mention six turnovers. However, I'm sure he scored all five baskets against Temple.
When I get home this weekend, I'm going to re-watch some of the game. I can't imagine Brady didn't use Temple on Law quite a bit considering he did that against all the prolific perimeter scorers that LSU faced. Not to mention the fact that Temple was the guy who defended Law in Baton Rouge and held him without a field goal for the first 27 minutes of the game.

His shot has greatly improved.
Temple in his last 7 games:
10 of 40 from the field = 25%
3 of 19 from 3 pt range = 15%
Temple's defense = great
Temple's offense = opposite of great

"then take a pill and shut up". Tigah in the ATL you can't handle constructive criticsm? Wow you must not watch ESPN, Fox Sports, etc. Because every athlete on the planet has been criticized at one time or another.
My point is I would have liked to have seen his offensive production (Scoring) improve over the years and it hasn't!!!
Sure he is a great defender. But I don't think he would even start for UL-Lafayette! Peace

Have you paid attention to what they have done lately?
Posted on 2/12/09 at 4:37 pm to Stromile Swift
If you want to know about Temple, just look up quotes from Coach TJ. He absolutely loves Temple for what he does for the TEAM.
Even though 1 man can make a huge impact on a game (etc Taz last night), it still takes all 5 to get it done.
Temple's always been streaky on O. But, there is no denying he's one of the better defenders in college BBall.
Also, while listening to the game last night Hawthorne made out like GT missed a wide open layup at the end of regulation. He simply failed to mention that he had one last obstacle in his way, Varnado who happens to lead the NCAA in blocks.
GT struggled last night, but he also helped alot last night once Bo went down.

what about if tyrus had stayed all 4 years. he'd be a senior this year i believe and we'd be more then loaded

On the flip side, a lot of other major teams would be LOADED as well if their stars didn't leave early. I'm sure Florida would be SCARY good if they didn't have guys leave early.
