Cal better not......

[Basscat1987]

Mention how BJ was great tonight because anyone who watched the game knows he wasn’t. But I just have a feeling Cal is gonna make it seem like he was a game changer tonight. Watch and see. Any agree with me that BJ wasn’t impressive still? Half his points probably came at the stripe when the game was over. Also, Dontaie and Ware playing time is fading fast I’m afraid, Ware I can agree with with the emergence of brooks, but Dontaie still deserves minutes over Boston IMO

dude its progress, He was fighting and had 4 steals and hit a 3. 6-6 on fts is amazing consdering his %, we won and boston was a main reason.

 

[The_Answer1313]

Strange. I thought he had a good game. He's getting better.

 

[DeerTurkHunter1]

Boston didn't play great tonight but he didn't hurt us either. He's starting to find his way. Cal is now using him like he should of all year, just in 3 or 4 minute spurts. Don't down the kid today, he done fine. Brooks is a difference maker for sure and Allen played enough minutes today.

 

[ala_kat2]

BJB did play better, but he needs to PASS THE BALL to the open teammate instead of always taking the shot himself. He did drop it off once in the first half for an assist but not sure it was intentional. Overall, though, he played better.

Main reason? How can u say main reason? I understand he was one of the leading scores but like I mentioned 6 of those were free throws that were at the tail end of the game so u have to give me some other reason please.

4 steals, not jacking up prayers resulting in fast breaks for the opposing team.

BJ was great today. 13pt, 4rb, 3ast, 4st, 0 TO. Made a 3, played unselfishly, made all his FT.

And guess what, he and Allen seem to get along just fine because he seems to be a MODEL teammate.

We need this Boston every game out.

 

[JohnBlue_]

Boston played like Kentucky needs him to tonight, no need to knock his game. He played with as much effort as anyone and I'll never be upset with someone doing that.

 

[westerncat]

Allen is still the better player right now. Came in and hit two's 3's and Cal had to pull him.

 

[sam_o]

He wasn’t great, but he was most definitely better. It’s ok to give the man some credit. He played a good game tonight

 

[Slowwalker]

What a stupid ass post. He played just fine. He leads the team in scoring, he made some nice hustle plays, and he rebounds well. Get off his ass.

 

[IL Wildcat]

Can we be happy to see improvement or shall we stay on the kid's neck hoping he just gives up? I say be happy to see improvement. I know. I must be a sunshine pumper.

exactly, he had an easy dime and dunk to Keion with about 2-3 minutes left that he took and got fouled.If he would dump off those passes he would get 2-3 more assists per game. Overall outside of a couple possessions he played very well. Though he played harder on defense today as well.

Agree but tonight was a good step. He needs some confidence in himself first and then he will start to find other people

 

[ORCAT]

Strange. I thought he had a good game. He's getting better.

I agree, I thought Boston played well, much better tonight than other games. Saw him sharing the ball more (huge improvement), rebounding, hitting so. E shots and FT's, playing hard on defense, etc. Was he great, no, but much more improved and I liked what I saw from him. It's a start so why come on here after an 18 win at Florida and be negative about the kid? Some fans!

"Cal better not"....or what exactly?

I thought he played well. Everyone did

If he can be just this good and we get Clark playing when he comes back we will be fine.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

BJ had a great game in that he did not play like crap.

I'll take the progress. And I hope Cal praises him, because he mostly played within himself and needs to be commended for that.

Clarke on the wing will help us a lot. Askew and Mintz have the 1 locked down so Clarke can go back to his natural spot

 

[Cats192]

This is the first game where I felt Boston accepted a role as a cog within the machine. I was much happier with how he played tonight.

I wondered the same thing, lol.

I feel sorry for you.
Can’t you just watch these young kids get better throughout the year and enjoy it

 

[MegaBlue05]

I thought he played within the flow of the team concept, played hard on D with 4 steals, was perfect from the line.

Maybe his best all around game at UK.

Why?

This. He had Brooks wide open under the bucket for another slam. Instead, he throws up some half hearted flip at the basket. IIRC, he did draw a foul on the play. Still....

What are you talking about?he forced two shots in the first half,the 2nd half he was diving on the floor,making his free throws,dishing out assist,I say I will brag on him tonight

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Boston didn't take a ton of bad shots and had 4 big steals to lead the team in points and steal. He played 28 and Allen played 22 so pretty decent since Boston played well. As far as got most of his points from the line when it didn't matter he pretty much had a similar game Allen had last time out but a little stronger with 4 steals and most said Allen was strong last time out so I think it's fair to give Boston some credit. Solid game and for him night and day from the season so far. Played unselfishly and hard.

 

[crawfords corner]

What a stupid thread. Even after wins this board is awful.

 

[kyjeff1]

I'll take it. Had 3 assists and nailed a 3 pointer.

We are playing two games per week now. This is where you see huge improvements from game to game.

Boston has to build on this, if he improves from here on out, he could be legit by March.

 

[king of cali]

Calipari better not brag on a guy that acts played well today? He did things to help that team outside of the scoring column.

And Allen played 22 minutes. That’s a nice run when you have 7 guys play at Lear 20 minutes. Just a strange thread...

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Exactly, plus he just got booed at Rupp last game so why not give him some love? He needs it more than anyone else right now so I hope he gets it. He played well.

 

[bthaunert]

What a miserable post by the OP. Guy makes improvement on the court. I’m going to go post how coach better not say he played well. Seriously?

 

[AzubuikeandFitch]

Allen is still the better player right now. Came in and hit two's 3's and Cal had to pull him.

Allen also played his best defense of the season. Sharing minutes is only going to help us down the line. Its been a positive for both of them.

 

[Coach CALzone]

Threads like this are so embarrassing for our fanbase.

That's a very good stat line and the really good part of it is the 0 turnovers he did really good today and we won by 18. I agree lets get that every game!

On the radio post game it seemed Cal was busy doing damage control over the anthem.
