nustudent Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 I hardly think Rey is a great player but considering our team makeup this year...don't know how you critcize him for taking the shots he does/did. HuskerActuary 1 Quote
Mr. Red Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 Not sure why the link didn't work for me either... But I'll stand up for John. He's a good guy and has a sarcastic sense of humor. Ray single-handedly kept a team in games that probably would have been the first squad Husker squad to ever lose 20 games without him. Dude played 5-10 minutes more per game that he should have because he had to. Yes, Ray took a lot of low percentage shots....because a lot of time that team needed him to do so even when teams keyed on him. How was it that he was always taking "bad shots" yet Miles never took him out? How is the guy who is ruining the team playing the most minutes in Huskers history? I've argued with both Bogus and Gaskins on their REPEATED bashings of RG on twitter before as well. I guess that makes Gallegos the Dark Knight. “He’s the hero Gotham Husker Nation deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we’ll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he’s not our hero. He’s a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.” ???? hhcmatt 1 Quote
hhcmatt Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 Today those guys are whining on the #Nebrasketball tag about how Nebraska passed on the CBI. Seem to be going through Ray bashing withdrawals Quote
PimpMario Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 I was not mad at Rey this year for jacking up so many shots; because we didn't have any offense. However, I do think that Rey could have been more efficient if he worked on a driving a little more. Quote
Concrete Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 I hardly think Rey is a great player but considering our team makeup this year...don't know how you critcize him for taking the shots he does/did. Exactly. If he's taking this many shots at such a low percentage next year it will be frustrating, but it was more than fine this year. Quote

It's hard to believe anyone who's watched our team this season can't understand the situation with Ray and his percentage/efficiency numbers. Either they're not watching before bloviating or they have absolutely no idea about the sport at all. Quote

Don't tell me jacking up 271 3's and only getting to the foul line as a 2 guard 44 times is ok based on the situation. Drive and shoot! Drive and dish! You can't say that it's ok that half of those 3's if not more were ill advised 3's that he could have taken at any point in the shot clock. Daledangdarn 1 Quote
