Quote from: MU82 on Today at 11:39:45 AMJosh Clark had three or four legit plays yesterday, including one very impressive defensive stop at the end of the clock and a real nice putback dunk.

He played for only 8 minutes and had 3 boards and went 2/3 on shots. If I remember correctly, the missed shot would have been another "real nice dunk" had it gone in. What I really liked was his take-no-prisoners, in-your-face attitude. Too bad that he also "earned" 2 fouls.

I'm NOT saying he is ready for more minutes, but I got my wish that he would get a little PT, even though Rocky replied to my post that he wished there was a "thumbs down" option.

One rotation item I thought was noteworthy yesterday... Michael Phillips played before Owens in both halves.  I agree with it, but I thought it was interesting Shaka made that change already too.

He's still skinny and looks a little lost, but Phillips just shows more flashes right now.  He's sometimes in the wrong spots, but he's flying around out there and making things happen.  That offensive rebound and kickout to Nigel for a 3 was a bigger play than anything Owens has done this year.

Owens needs to be more physical.  To me he is shying away from contact out there.  The second he gets bumped on a drive he stops and gives up.  Have to play through contact at this level.  Phillips is throwing his body around in the paint to try and make plays, which is a great sign for the way he'll play in the future.  Cant wait til he's 20lbs stronger still playing this way.

He is everything McManus wishes he could be. 57 and 59 with ease

I have absolutely no problem with us having carried him on the roster last season, and with Shaka bringing him along slowly this season. If this 7-footer turns out to be a kid who can protect the rim and make dunks for a couple of years - kinda Kur Kuath like - that would be A-OK for me. If he turns out better, fantastic! If he doesn't, I still think the "risk" was worth it.

Now, if the argument is that Shaka has been working on too many projects like this, that's a whole different debate.

Kur is the exact same comparison me and my friends at the game said yesterday too.  Not a star, but a mobile 7 footer who can give you 20 really good minutes as an upperclassmen.

Explains what happened in March, I guess.

Must be nice having a competent kicker.

Quote from: panda on Today at 12:37:47 PMSaid he was leaving. He didn't leave after Shaka had a long converstion with him.  End of story.

We could also discuss how he delayed his return two months because he jumped up after a big moment playjng nba 2k a couple weeks after his surgery and aggravated his injury but that was never reported on blue sky so there's no possible way it could've happened.

Sure, you never said he was in the portal.

Lol.

Keep spinning into pretzels buddy.  You lied or your source sucked.  It's one or the other.

But I'm totally buying that he reaggrevated an ACL tear playing video games.  Your inside info has proven to be spot on.  Can't wait for your next golf trip!

You two have arrived at


Maybe one of you can just

He has a new album coming out, probably focused on that.

Quote from: panda on Today at 12:30:57 PMSemantics. He said he was leaving which was known in the program. Never announced because he wasn't officially in the program.

Ah. "Semantics."
