I wonder that about most of you.

Who subbed in for Okpara? Who subbed out for Okpara just now?

LMAO

You said JP would take minutes from Okpara...tell me how many minutes Okpara played tonight and how that compares to his season avg.

(Hint: He played 34 min tonight and his season avg. is 25.8 mpg...you aren't very good at this but that doesn't stop you...lol)

They sub for one another, as I said. I didn’t realize that could throw anyone off.. I’m sorry for you.

This was my fear...JP playing at X%. So much for the guy who posted about JP dunking in practice.

It’s on instagram for anyone that would like to see. Don’t shoot the messenger. FYI this was a screenshot of a video, he dunks this basketball. One could assume if he’s jumping that high and landing then he’s not exactly babying his foot

First off, you do realize JP and Okpara started together for at least 6 or 7 games and played together extensively. Second, you are moving the goal posts from JP will take minutes from Okpara (which demonstrably didn't happen) to an even more nonsensical position that somehow Felix wouldn't have subbed out if JP wasn't able to play...you've embarrassed yourself enough but pls continue because it's the only thing I can laugh at after that loss.

And how did that work in a real game? JP's injury is clearly a factor in how he played tonight which was my fear especially after the report about him doing everything he could.

They’re the only two centers we have. It’s not a rule of basketball that either or neither one plays because of their position. It’s just been typical strategy for the past 100 years or so. I’m not the one embarrassing myself here.

You have proven that you can laugh at anything. I’m not worried about your ability to be amused with anything. Hey, the sky is cloudy today.. Laugh your ass off!

Yet CRB started them together and playing them extensively together during our winning streak. Not going to respond to your nonsense anymore and clutter up the board...there's a reason why literally no one sides with your obtuse takes.

Dude that was on Monday, not sure why you’re coming at me. That looked like good news to me. I’m not in the athletic department so that clip is what i was going on. It wasn’t meant to be a personal insult to you

He needs to either sit out or get out of his own head. I completely understand being injured but there was two shots he took without even looking at the rim. That’s absolutely insane for someone almost 7 foot 🤦🏻‍♂️

With how limited Carey is, this teams prospects in the tournament really come down to JPs health. Without an offensive big like him to take load off JG and Amen probably sweet 16 would be my guess on this teams ceiling. Let's hope he gets healthy and functional again.

He played a bad game and was a complete non factor at both ends. In fairness, Mizzou has the best paint defense of anyone in the conference not named Florida. Nobody on our team presented them with any offense down low beyond lob dunks. Our pick and roll game pulled them out of camping in the lane, but no one gave them anything to worry about facing at or away from the basket otherwise. If Felix had a serviceable hook to add to his toolbox, he’d be an NBA legend.

Not trying to put you on blast...apologize if that's how it came across. It's just that the coach's comment was not encouraging at all and pointing out JP was dunking for a 7 footer isn't as demanding as running up and down the court or especially playing defense which puts much more stress on a player's feet.

Anyway, my frustration really lies with those who want to ignore JP's comeback from what was nearly a career-ending foot surgery to play really well for us while not really being 100% yet giving us what we sorely need...a very efficient 3rd scoring option. Hope I'm wrong but we may very well have a disappointing finish to the season as a result.
