Thomas, as in Deshaun Thomas? lol he is not dominant, and he is not an all american.centralbucksfan;1121382 wrote:12pts and 9 rebounds per game? Thats dominant? LMAO FU on the homer. I watch games. I am not saying he is bad. Dominant? That would be guys like Davis, Thomas, and Sullinger. All Americans. Gates is inconsistant, shows up when he chooses to show up. Which I am sure he will against OSU. But lets not go overboard here.
Last nite, pretty much a non factor. 10pts, 5 rebounds.
Hey, maybe he does have a dominant game. Anything can happen. He has potential, no question. But I'll take consistancy. I'll take Sullinger any day of the week. -

Yeah, don't listen to Y-Town. You grow up rooting for UC, you don't have to switch just because you don't attend UC. That logic is just stupid and so is Y-Town.Early Cuyler;1121415 wrote:I'll root for who I want. I don't attend Cincinnati because they don't have a program that my major is in, so SMD. -

Let me spell it out for you...Sullinger, on defense and offense, isn't going to affect this game against UC down low. he has a very shitty vertical, and his only offensive move down low is to lower his head and go into players like retarded giraffe. Do you understand what I'm saying now or is sullingers penis clogging your comprehension skills too?centralbucksfan;1121401 wrote:Isn't affective down low? WTF are you talking about? Sullinger may struggle against taller, longer players. Gates is 6'9". Same size. I am sure it will be a challenge for Sullinger. But I'd rather go against Gates than the guy he just played against from Gonzaga who was 7'. And all Sullinger did, with his POOR down low moves was get 18pts in 25 min. Give me a break. -

He does have one post move. Just barrel into the defender and hope for a foul. **When doesn't get a foul, throws arms out and bitch for a call**

down low he does. It's duck my head and go into the player defending me. He's got a nice mid range jumper, but I was talking about his down low game.Automatik;1121431 wrote:Yeah, he only has one move. gtfo. :rolleyes: -

He has a jump shot and a jump hook and according to you and your brother he has a barrel move. That is 3.SportsAndLady;1121436 wrote:He does have one post move. Just barrel into the defender and hope for a foul. **When doesn't get a foul, throws arms out and bitch for a call**

People on this site are so fucking retarded. POST MOVE, DOWN LOW MOVE, IN THE FUCKING PAINT. HOW HARD IS THAT TO COMPREHEND

What do you call a jump hook? You can also shoot jump shots from the post.SportsAndLady;1121443 wrote:I bolded "post move" and yet you still couldn't put that together? LOL -

If Gates doesn't block his shot, watch out for Justin Jackson to come out of nowhere for the swat. The dude jumps around like their like he is on a pogo stick and plays with a lot of energy.DeyDurkie5;1121428 wrote:Let me spell it out for you...Sullinger, on defense and offense, isn't going to affect this game against UC down low. he has a very ****ty vertical, and his only offensive move down low is to lower his head and go into players like retarded giraffe.

This UC team has played against a lot of very talented big guys this year and won: Fab Melo (Syracuse), Simms (Georgetown), Gibson and James (Florida State), Drummond (UCONN), Deng (Louisville), etc. One of the best players on Texas was their 7'0 center Chapman. -
Automatik
I've also seen him go up and under, baby hook, spin off the block, etc.
I understand you guys don't like Sullinger, but don't let your dislike get in the way of what your eyes actually see. Unless....you don't even watch the games. -

This game is not going to be decided on Gates v. Sullinger. The key to the game is going to be the likely matchups of D. Thomas v. Jaquon Parker and Craft v. Cashmere Wright.
Thomas' achilles heel is his defense. He might go off and score 25-30 points, but Parker has the ability to penetrate the lane and take the ball to the whole all night long. He can also stroke it from outside. It is possible Thomas gives up as many points as he can score on Thursday. Parker also rebounds very well for a guy his size. He actually out rebounded the trees Florida State had out there on the court (6'10, 6'11 and 7'0).
Cashmere Wright v Craft will be a fun battle to watch. Wright can take it to the hole or if he is on can light you up from downtown. The defensive battle will be fun to watch as well. Wright is now UC's all-time leader in steals. -

I really do hope that the Cincy team thinks that Sullinger has "one post move" and single teams him all night. Should be easy if that's all he's got. -

And I really do hope the OSU teams thinks Gates is "an underachieving thug". Should be no problem if he is such a slacker.Y-Town Steelhound;1121459 wrote:I really do hope that the Cincy team thinks that Sullinger has "one post move" and single teams him all night.

Don't see any reason why they would be ok sure....He'll block Sullinger multiple times, many guys have. Question is can he prevent Sullinger going back up with it again and again? Can he defend him with out getting into foul trouble? Is he willing to step out and stop Sullinger from knocking down jumpers? That'll be the key in that matchup. It's not like Sullinger hasn't faced big guys this season. We saw how he did against not only the dude from Gonzaga, but the Plumlees (7 footers).Little Danny;1121461 wrote:And I really do hope the OSU teams thinks Gates is "an underachieving thug".

IMO this game comes down to William Buford. If he chokes on applesauce with another 2-16 or whatever Sweet 16 performance then OSU will really have to work to win. If he can hit his shots and provide some quality defense then I think the Buckeyes win easily. -

Gates also faced arguably the 2nd best post defender in the country in James from fla st. Gates can be dominate but cinci needs to run there offense through him. A lot of the times they don't even look his way. Sully will definitely need to play good d on gates but as we have seen he doesn't and fouls a lot. I could definitely see sully being in foul trouble early. If Ohio state rebounds like they did against gonzaga gates will eat up a lot of offensive put backs on Ohio st. It's too bad I gotta work Thursday it's going to be a damn good game. Killpatrick needs to bring his a game for cinci to win -
Pick6
Really surprised at all the Sully hate. He will get Gates in foul trouble early, basically making him a non factor in the game. And please don't put words in my mouth and make it out that I'm saying Gates is trash. Sully > Gates. Simple as that. -

This is why I want to see more Amir Williams on Thursday. Sullinger is not a great defender. Williams is taller and longer than both him and Ravenel.Crimson streak;1121464 wrote:Gates also faced arguably the 2nd best post defender in the country in James from fla st.

Its really not surprising. Even coming from some loser OSU fans on here. Some are so unrealistic with their expectations, its beyond ridiculous. Of course, all the UC fans are now coming out of the woodwork. Which isn't surprising now that they have made the sweet16. But whatever.Pick6;1121473 wrote:Really surprised at all the Sully hate.
