Sophomore

Sophomore (3/7)

  1. Jolly's look on the bench shows he is aware he has no chance of getting in a 30 point blowout. My dreams for this game were shattered. I wanted at least one Jolly hand grenade to laugh at. Damn you, Crews. You suck and you're no fun.
  2. David Kaplan, he's on ESPN Chicago and CSN Chicago - was an assistant at Northern Illinois at one time and did some NBA scouting. He probably doesn't want to rip Crews because he's part of the coaching fraternity, but to gush on him like this when things or so obviously going badly and the team has zero life is a bit irresponsible.
  3. Yeah and Milik reminds me of Larry Hughes...just has to put the ball in the basket more, shoot better from the line and be way more athletic and talented. Other than that, pretty much same guy.
  4. I agree with you on this. Picking Jolly is on Crews. However, Jolly's lack of development and overall attitude is on him. So are the injuries he causes to people in the first few rows of the seats with his shots. That's on him too.
  5. Wouldn't you say in a way, it kinda is his fault?
  6. I really wish Crews would resort to playing Jolly 30 minutes a night for comic relief purposes. He owes me that much. It is really hard for me to enjoy myself without Jolly's "efforts" out there. In many ways, I should thank Jolly, as he is the MVP of this season for me. He provided the most enjoyable moment by far, a hilarious "baby hook" against Louisville that he launched over the backboard with the kind of form that I would expect from someone doing the Shot Put in the decathlon. Since this has been appropriately memorialized by the internet, I can watch this clip anytime I want (just did 10 times) and it will inspire badly needed laughter and invigorate my love for sports. Jolly is as equipped to play at this level as much as Crews is to coach. They might as well expose and embarrass themselves together for my benefit. To anyone writing May, please ask that he fire Crews at the end of the season, but include the demand that Crews coach this season out, with Jolly as the starting center and focal point of the offense. I can't wait to see what he can do with the ball in his hands 20 times per game. He makes John Manning look like Hakeem Olajuwon in the post.
  7. How, by nailing a cheerleader in the head with one of his hook shots?
  8. In a strange way, that's kind of what I meant by Manning 2.0. Like a new evolution of stiffness. Maybe I should have said Manning 0.5? I saw that play live too, the best part was during live action, the play by play guy thought it was deflected, then the color guy cuts in and says something to the effect of "I don't think it did!". So funny that he was that baffled, as was I, because the trajectory required to put the ball on top of the backboard from that angle was absurd and could have only happened if the ball was deflected...or if it left the hands of Jolly. Not even sure Manning could have pulled that off.
  9. It is amazing how much whining goes on about the officiating after every game. It played no role at all, we lost by 20. I was proud of the game we played and this was a nice indication that we're headed in the right direction. You have to like what you saw out of a lot of our guys, especially Crawford. He's a pure shooter and shot the ball with confidence last night. Very efficient. You also have to concede that were were completely dominated in the paint and on the boards. Louisville is in a different class than we are and we didn't have the size to match, unless you want to put Jolly and AG in, but after five games they still both look tentative, weak and don't have much court sense between them. Hopefully they aren't on the Manning development plan.
  10. It is supposed to be, but I haven't seen any official game watch dates posted yet. If you follow the Chicago Alumni page on FB, they usually will post it there a few weeks in advance.
  11. None of that is a big deal. The worst thing he did was draft Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison.
  12. I'd say our team rebounding ranking would be a bit better, simply because that is the one skill GG has - he is an above average rebounder for sure (though I wouldn't touch the word "talented" when it comes to him, his ball handling and court sense rivals Agbeko's; he does bust his ass out there and has a lot of heart, more than I can say for JM, so I'll give him that). I think though, it is wishful thinking that the rest of our big men (Agbeko not included) are collectively harmless on the boards because they are adjusting to Grandy not being out there. If anything, I'd think their rates would improve because there are more shots available for them to grab.
