Greivis will pick it up as the season progresses. He's shooting 30% FG right now. He only shot 40% last year altogether. For statistical comparison sake, he started out last year streaky and cold, too: Vasquez FG shooting to start 2008 Bucknell 4-16 YSU 10-17 Vermont 8-19 MSU 5-14 Gonzaga 6-12 G'town 1-7 Speaking of stats, Sean Mosley has started the year on fire. 15PTS/5RB/5AST per game and a 6.3/1 AST/TO ratio. Damn. All I’m saying is I’m not concerned. Greivis will pick it up as the season progresses. He’s shooting 30% FG right now. He only shot 40% last year altogether.

Let's follow the team and use statistical data to shape our arguments. Against Charleston Southern: 3-14, 9 points Against Fairfield: 3-11, 7 points Against New Hampshah: 4-8, 7 points Against Chaminade: 2-7, 6 points Are these the numbers you want to see out of your first offensive option? Oh, wait, I'm sure he's just missing the shots to give our young big men plenty of rebounding opportunities! As mentioned in the post, I realize that it's a long season. But if Vasquez is currently performing the way you expected him to perform, that makes one of us. And I don't mean one Shell Games blogger. I mean, like, one person on the Earth.

Give me a break. It's freaking Chaminade. Let's give him a chance to do well against Cinci. Chaminade! Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another season of Scott Hating On Greivis.

Give me a break. It’s freaking Chaminade. Let’s give him a chance to do well against Cinci.

You can't do it, can you? Stop giggling. Vasquez is stepping aside so the Frosh can get touches. No biggie. Try to say, “Slay the Silverswords” five times fast.

He's got to learn to bring it every time - not just when we're playing Duke. Vasquez steps up in the big games but disappoints terribly in the small ones.
