Do we miss Dom . . .

[Immaculate1]

Dom could have been a slasher. Granted he was just as likely to almost punch somebody and lose his dead as help the team. But he played with intensity, was very tough, and a great athlete. We lack those three things this year.

I'm not sure we miss Dom in statistical ways as much as we miss his style of play and the way it affected the other players around him. One thing you could never accuse him of is playing like a pussy. I can't say that for anyone else on this team.

I miss watching him pull out his mouthpiece and be disgusted with a play/foul.

I don't think we are better (not right now anyway) without Dom, but i don't think having him on the team makes us that much better either

McGruder has been great on offense.  With Jake and Sprads or Jake/Tay on the court, McGruder is gonna get better looks and more scoring opp.

I would much rather have Dom getting minutes at the 3 as opposed to Vic. But with Dom on this team he likely gets 20-23 minutes(so Gruds plays some at the 2) .   Vic is only gonna get 10 min tops in bigger games (unless Gruds is in foul trouble)

Gruds minutes would not be effected IMO, but Sprads and Tay would see a decrease IMO.   I like what i see out of those two and like how they are getting the playing time that they are.

Ideal situation would have been for dom to realize he sucked crap at offense, stepped back a bit for mcgruds/oj and only played moderate minutes when we needed some defensive help. Was never going to happen tho

[Barry McCockner]

I miss the the surprise 3 point barrage

We're going to wait until the ideal time to unleash JHR from 3.

Look.  We miss Dom.  We miss Denis.  I'm not sure why we do this to ourselves.  It rough ridin' hurts.

Look.  We miss Dom.  We miss Denis.

of course we do.  missing is an affair of the heart, not of the head.  we want what we want.

It's just too bad Dom got Peeteitis or something similar.

[Kat Kid]

It is especially cruel because dominatrix Dax is engaging in sado-masochistic message boarding by repeatedly reminding us of these denizens of JYC.

[FP TC etc.]

Look.  We miss Dom.  We miss Denis.  I'm not sure why we do this to ourselves.  It rough ridin' hurts.

 

[kstatefreak42]

I miss Dom's defense obviously.

[Bill Clarahan]

Miss Dom's big body and ability to create havoc on D, steals and such.  Don't miss his ability to miss layups, ability to finish and overall offensive ineptitude

[The Whale]

I'd rather have Dom this year than Nino wasting a scholarship year on the bench, but the Q@ts are #13 in kenpom's adj. def. eff and #9 in OReb %, so we're already doing well in Dom's areas.
