Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 09:57:52 AMHe normally is, but I thought he was brutal on defense last night.  Consistently blown by off the dribble while he's trying to get into a guy 38 feet from the hoop, and fouling a 3 point shooter at a key moment.

He played all of 4 minutes before Chase fouled out. At that point, Stevens was also out.

NJ, Owens, Parham, & Ben on the floor. The options were Phillips for shooting, Norman for defense, or one of the bigs who had 2 minutes combined on the night. All I was saying is he typically plays good defense, certainly better than Phillips, and that's why he finished the game.

Am absolutely fascinated by Russian history, but when viewed through the lens of judeo-christian ethics, I think the current Russia regime is on the wrong side of history...Not interested in supporting them directly or indirectly..

Good thing we are on the right side of history through a lens's of judeo-Christian ethics.

Viper, in regards to a transfer like OMax, I loved Omax and thought he was NBA bound after the UNC loss.  But, IMO, there is nowhere to put him.
Parham 6'8 (9?)
DO
Ian
Phillips
Walker
EJ
Egbuono

7 players in that size range already.

Cold as hell.
Holiday.
Odd start time.
Not a must see team.

Looked closer to 5K

Quote from: Scoop Snoop on Today at 10:06:01 AMOK, let's ratchet it up. What wording can you offer for our next opponent?

Butler Bulldogs?  Ouch.

Announced attendance was about 14K ... but it was as empty as I've ever seen Fiserv. Maybe 7500?

I thought Owens did an especially nice job of cutting and making himself available.

Quote from: JWags85 on Today at 09:56:39 AMGoes from a crapshow with the Jets to a slightly better crapshow in Nashville.

But that's a bullet dodged for Titans fans if the Nagy stuff had been true.  Imagine your team's ownership/front office falling out with and chasing Vrabel out of town to now see him very likely headed to a SB...while you hire a disaster to replace him, and then hire someone who flopped in their first HC gig and then went back to their old job and did nothing of note to give more confidence that they were improved, and arguably performed worse.

I do think Saleh is a fantastic defensive coach, and very likely a better choice than Nagy, but I'm not sure what the Titans are seeing to give him this chance so soon after his New York meltdown.
Maybe the Jets are just so toxic he never stood a chance, but he did some objectively bad things there ... bringing in Nate Hackett to appease Rodgers, failure to develop (or bring in anyone who could develop) Zach Wilson, waffling on QB starters, lack of team discipline, etc.
Maybe he'll figure it out this time around, or maybe like Vic Fangio and Wade Phillips, he was born to be a DC. Either way, kind of a risky hire for a team at an inflection point and very dependent on the growth of a young QB.

I'd like a player along the lines of Prosper. And because I'll assume another scholly will open, I'd like a player along the lines of Ethan Happ (we're Vegas, right?) Other than his inability to shoot FT's...which despite being free points don't matter...Happ was solid on the blocks. Good rebounding, good defending.
