Quote from: wadesworld on February 06, 2026, 08:32:48 PMYes. That people are overreacting to how "harmful" Shaka has been to Caedin by talking him up to "well embedded moles."

Harmful seems subjective here, but he did Caedin no favors by creating lofty expectations that he couldn't meet.
As PT said, Shaka and staff made Caedin the face of this year's failures. That seems unfair to Caedin, as he's just one of several players who've underperformed ... and he's probably underperformed less than others relative to talent.
Is that harmful? YMMV

Quote from: CountryRoads on February 06, 2026, 09:15:50 PMFun game, awesome atmosphere. Hope we can start competing with these teams in the near future.

We need to get there. But it's totally doable.  It starts with a dominant big in the portal imo.

I remember Shaka, before the season, saying how Nigel and Adrien were going to play a lot this year.

Nevada Smith was also hyping Nigel in preseason.

Were those instances ok?  Or was it a warning sign that our returners weren't improving as much as hoped?

Quote from: WhiteTrash on February 06, 2026, 08:57:01 PMSo just dismiss Shaka's comments on players going forward?

I'd just take everything with a grain of salt, especially if it's Rothstein posting about his well-embedded moles.

Quote from: JWags85 on February 06, 2026, 09:56:07 AMTo collapse, even retreat all the way to $20K, I think there needs to be a significant vanishing of demand and I don't see that yet.  You can't value/benchmark it like a stock on "underlying fundamentals" but its still a supply/demand speculative vehicle at the very least.  And I don't suddenly see the demand for it to be completely gone.  There are WAY too many people licking their lips to add more on pullbacks, IMO.

Yeah, my statement didn't take into consideration a number of factors...as I said, I don't really know much.

I had thought that it was possible that Bitcoin might get trapped in a cycle of forced deleveraging amongst some of the big players that dominate the market and I didn't think that many smaller investors would provide enough demand forcing a collapse.

I didn't take into consideration that some big players may provide demand to avoid a cycle of forced deleveraging. I keep forgetting how much entities can really manipulate markets right now, and how much of the trading at large levels is largely based on algorithms.

Turns are killing UCONN. St.J also gets away with a lot of "physicality" aka fouling.

Quote from: drbob on February 06, 2026, 08:13:15 PMSitting here watching St Johns playing Connecticut.  There is no way our roster can compete with either one of them. Just really struck me as to how far we have fallen compared to the more elite teams in the country. We seriously are in danger of becoming a nobody. Something needs to change quickly!
Relax. The calvary is coming. I see a positive offseason ahead.

Quote from: Johnny B on February 06, 2026, 07:44:58 PMSJU/Uconn very entertaining so far.

Heck of a ballgame.  I still think St.J won't do squat in the tournament.
