  1. Boston is in a total rebuilding mode. They will not win for a couple of years. How much time will they give Stevens? I wouldn't bet a whole lot of money that he will be there in 3 years.
  2. I think it's great. Will he be a good player? Who knows but you got to love the size and we definitely need size for that class. I also like the idea of a local kid jumping on our offer. We will know 2 or3 years from now but I think Crew's recruiting has been stellar.
  3. Maybe a search like this takes a long time but I'm sure Biondi is in no hurry to give up his lifestyle. It's going to take big hit. Lose your house-- Lexus -- travel--- personal chef. It won't be easy on him.
  4. How are you going to lay off? Every team has a Danny Green,Matt Bonner.Ray Allen, Mike Miller who nail everything if left alone. Everyone in the NBA makes the corner 3. The 1 point you make that I agree with is walking. I do wish they would call walking and do away with the continuation foul.
  5. Saying they do not play defense in the nba is like saying Danny Green can't shoot.
  6. That's the point. He shoots exclusively inside and made over half of his shoots. Yes it looked ugly but so what. It's still 2 points.I'll take a 50%shooter.
  7. Skip shooting 52 percent is decent finishing .
  8. I'm with you Ace. I don't get all the Grandy hate. I like his quickness and speed. Yes he shot the ball from his waist but so what he wasn't blocked and it went in. I do agree with whoever said he needs to work on free throws. Roy seems to think his position defense was bad. I don't agree but if true his speed allowed him to cover up. I expect him to average 17 mpg and become a darling of this board.
  9. With all due respect your post is full of crap. The timeing to give him another shot was compltely wrong . They set him up to fail. He should not have been recalled until he had success at Memphis. Whether it was Mo or Matheny who knows, but it was a bad decision.
  10. I think Chris May would take exception to you statement that basketball isn't fully funded.
  11. You mean I paid for you to watch movies. You could have at least taken art appreciation like I did.
  12. Whatever anyone thinks about Chris May he deserves a lot of credit for upgrading a lot of our minor sports. He has had a lot of good hires.
  13. Not to corect Roy but Frank converted from being a catholic to an evangelical church.
  14. Laclede Town started to die when a guy named Jerry Berger left STL. Berger was an employee of HUD and oversaw everything. He selected who could and couldn't live there.He kept everything in balance. How many blacks- whites- students- professionals- non-professionals could live there . He social engineered everything including the softball games.It worked for a long time but when he left the balance changed and it went downhill quickly.
  15. Garanzini must be around 65. Do you want someone younger?
  16. There is an easy resolution to all of this. Biondi announces his retirement. It would be good for all.
  17. I agree that you can't compare an index with an endowment but I would also expect that sum to be larger after 5 years . I t works both ways. An endowment fund should not lose 30% in a 2008 . I think our performance has been poor.
  18. Let's not get to carried away with all of the financials. I believe that our endowment was once 1 billion ,or very close to it. (2007 or 2008 ) Yes the market crashed but almost all indexes are higher now than then. I would hope we have net contributions in the last 5 years. I also believe we had a triple A bond rating a few years ago.
