They are playing better. But they're really only 7 deep, so no chance to win 4 in a row.

Quote from: MuggsyB on February 12, 2026, 07:11:59 PMI hate to pick on certain players, but there is no sugarcoating with Chase and his issues this year.  It's one thing to have a bad game, or even a slump, but this is different.  We're not seeing him fully engaged at all or playing with max effort.  I think this is pretty clear. 

Tuesday wasn't his only enigmatic performance this season.  The guy looks like a 1st team BEast guard in the 1st half vs DePaul, and then craps an emu egg in the 2nd.  We've seen this kind of thing from him all year in conference play. 

This isn't on Shaka, it's about our presumed best player NOT SHOWING UP.  PERIOD.  And he's not engaged in every facet of the game.  He's not thinking out there at all.  His head is elsewhere and its impact has been extremely detrimental to our team. 

No one likes to pick on players. It is their performance or lack thereof for all to see that is being questioned. Same goes for the coaching staff.

With the White Sox, there always seems to be only one hand.

Caedin turning into Dwight Burke would be a huge victory at this point.

Quote from: The Sultan on February 12, 2026, 07:23:21 PMThe only pattern is the eastern teams are usually better.

And there are more of them.

Obviously, I could not give a single rip about the man.  He's shown his true colors time an time again.

I'm pretty cynical, but considering plenty have really good stories about him, I think it's more likely he's a really caring dude for those in his life and has some major, major flaws

Quote from: muwarrior69 on February 11, 2026, 08:18:29 PMShaka did not cost us the game, Chase did. He was a virtual no show last night. He was to be our team leader and ceded that to NJ over the last few games.
