Pre-season expectations were clearly over stated by most but they are underachieving. The team has talent and young players with high potential for the future.  Unlikely they will do a full 180 this year but I am not as worried as others about next season and beyond. 

Adrien, Nigel, Parham & Owens are a very nice young guard / forward core. Plenty of other talent coming back and coming in.  Yes they all need to progress but the clear issue is the lack of a quality big man in the next few years.  Clark has plenty of size but I will trust the coaches on why he rarely plays and Sheek is listed as a power forward, and is talented, but power is not his game or will not be for at least a few years. 

And yes I said Owens - he showed what he is capable of yesterday, is very athletic, and has the highest ceiling on the team. I still believe that Owens can be a starter next season and a top player by his senior season.  It will be up to him.  Owens is smart, talented and ultra-athletic - sprinkle in plenty of hard work, humility and a team-first approach (Oso style) and it will take him far.   

MU has the potential to be a good team the next 2 years with one good power forward or center transfer this off season.  A Robert Jackson clone would do.

knicks fans are cooking

We have all made mistakes and let people down.
Feel Shaka has let down the fans the school and the city this year. But he has won many games and made many Big Dances and Advanced many times in the Big Dance. Not certain but Shaka will get it fixed and Win again.

Brunson with a step back, dagger three for win. That guy is a very good player.

Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 02:50:41 PMCorrect.  The idea that because Shaka is having a worse season than the one that got Wojo fired means Shaka should be fired is just showing you don't know how this works.  There's WAY more context to look at than "What was the season before Wojo got fired like compared to this year?"

I'll take "Things No One Said" for $200, Ken.

Chris Evans returning as Captain America really speaks to how things have gone for Marvel since End Game.

With Shamett injured he got some minutes. In Cup Final, McBride also didn't play and Kolek took advantage. Tonight, no McBride or Hart and getting major minutes. No Karl Anthony Towns also (doesn't effect Kolek minutes), see if Knicks pull it out.

And in for crunch time, 2 PG lineup with Brunson.

Disrespectful to not include his 1 block since we are on Scoop after all. Also 1 steal.

Stuffing the stat sheet.
