Hopefully not this one.

Quote from: Scoop Snoop on Today at 11:43:52 AMSure, but my point was that I do not think it was a talent disparity. I listed some other factors that I thought accounted for yet another blown chance at a W.

You did agree with Shooter that we have a better talented team than SH who beat us twice and has a winning record which is absurd. The only stat that matters are the Ws and Ls.

I do not *expect* Shaka to do this, but this would be close to my preferred re-tooling. Done right, that could be a serious team.

Quote from: 1SE on Today at 10:15:48 AMI think we're seeing that there was enough talent for this to have been a bubble team - just like we and everyone else thought - but that assumed the right lineups and solid in game coaching (remember when we used to be team second half? I wanted to punch Johnny Exclamation Point Fanta in the mouth and see how HE'D react every time he made some asinine cliche about SHs 2nd half prowess)

A bubble team for what tournament? Maybe the NIT. There's not enough talent to be a bubble team, and Shaka completely missing on the junior class means that while we have roster continuity, all but 2 of the contributors are underclassmen who have very little experience at this level of basketball, so there was always going to be a learning curve even if the rotations were right from the start.

Quote from: BM1090 on Today at 11:47:13 AMDon't you think that those things usually come with more experience?

Kam, TK, O Max, and Oso all took time there too. They just had more experienced, steady guys leading them on the court.

Fair, but the extent/depth of the problems I listed seems deeper to me than it should be. And Ben and Chase? This is their final season. They have 8 more regular season games to show us what they can do.

The Belgian Beer i miss the most is De Koninck, which despite my constant pestering of their social media people, you can't get in the US.

I keep hoping to find Leffe Braun here in the states

Quote from: Scoop Snoop on Today at 08:39:35 AMWhile I am not as confident as you are regarding "ability to beat everyone but UCONN and St. Johns", I agree with your SH comments regarding talent. But rather than focusing on lack of experience, I see lack of confidence, intelligent decision making, ball movement, not knowing where teammates are, and the discipline that comes with a well-coached team.  The all-too-familiar deer in the headlights looks in yesterday's game once again were clearly present.

These lunatics want to appeal their right to jail preschoolers.

Had that guy been arrested for burglary or some other crime the child would be detained with him until he could be handed over to care  it is hyperbole to describe the child in jail  were i to look i'm sure i would find similar outrage when Obama locked up illegals 

Does he have the look in his eye?

Several reports Zaire Wade is looking to play college basketball.

23 years old and would have four years of eligibility.
