  1. But this one is so insanely preposterous to justify a leak that if true, would render that ft. knox analogy (which i agree with btw) incorrect. which then makes it....true.
  2. Watching GameDay. I'd take Danny Hurley-like coach all day. I'd take Danny all day (obviously a non-starter discussion). But his mentality, his approach. Just like Rick. Bobby Knight, etc. I know there are Hurley-haters here, (I think?) but I love the guy.
  3. This is 100% true, as I see it.
  4. This is great. Had no idea on Willie. Great talent. Had challenges. Really great story. Thanks Torch. ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - It’s been some since former No. 1 NBA G League draft pick Willie Reed Jr. was back on an NBA roster. And while Reed is still working his way back to the Association, he has not forgotten the little things. The former Saint Louis Billiken returned to the Last Frontier in November alongside Team Hollywood Celebrity Streetball (THCS), a sports mentoring program made up of current and former professional athletes, to continue his tour around Alaska’s northern villages. Reed spent a week in Kotzebue touring schools and conducting team-building activities with audiences that couldn’t wait to meet one of the pro’s. “Just being able to spend time with everyone in the villages has been amazing,” said Reed at the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport before catching a flight to Kotzebue. “We talk a lot about what it’s like to live in the professional life, you know, what it was like for me growing up as well. We talk a lot about being able to stay away from drugs, being able to stay away from alcohol and those aggressive things and just being able to lead kids in the right direction.” Reed, 33, who is from Kansas City, Missouri, said he started to learn about Alaska through former Bartlett High School and Miami Heat player, Mario Chalmers. “[Chalmers] trains with a good friend of mine, [professional trainer] Stan Remy, so we get to see each other in the summertime, so just talking about Alaska,” Reed said. But it was THCS’s Peter Adams who placed down the final piece of the puzzle to get Reed in front of Alaskan youth. “When he asked me to come out here and be a part of this, you know, it went right in line with my no excuses [philosophy] and it just seemed like it was right where I’m supposed to be,” Reed said. “No excuses” is a phrase so instrumental to Reed that it was written across the front of his black hoodie while speaking with Alaska’s News Source in November. It’s a motto many have come to live by, and for Reed, has become a lasting message. “No matter your situation, your circumstance, you can be whatever it is that you want to be. You just can’t give up on yourself,” Reed said. “You know, you might be born into a certain situation, but that doesn’t determine what you’re going to be in your future. So, what you make of that is going to be simply up to you.”
  5. Thames has really impressed me this year. I enjoy watching him play.
  6. yuri and larry togeher on the floor i like it
  7. i used to source my streams on reddit, seems they've censored this content now? anyone have a link?
  8. He would send Porter sometimes yes. I recall more than rare. Maybe I overremembered the good old days.
  9. Really. OK I distinctly remember the majerus discussions with bob and earl. they were must-listen.
  10. sorry for the misinfo. jumped off right at like the 8th commercial and ramsey said 'that will do it' can we have a hoosier-quality summary of the post-game?
  11. Really is. We are done this year. I have oppty to go to Bklyn and was waiting on tonight to decide. No.
  12. Good defensive possession. Active aggressive defense. Haven't seen that of late.
  13. This x 1000. I miss French Goodwin Bess leadership. JG was the last true leader for us. Martin Linssen and Jordan Nesbitt were the most vocal and showed by far the most emotion on the floor last year Linssen showed toughness. Fred is a warrior and this takes nothing away from him. Ford has been alluding to this since early in the season. Guys not being vocal, etc. Not an excuse for Ford, just an observation. Yuri is a talent, but does his absence of emotion set the tone for our team?
  14. It's a good line, but he was automatic early in the season and his rebounds have fallen off a cliff. And mental mistakes are way up.
  15. Also agree. The regression from beginning of year is really something. I was very high on Pickett...this has been dramatic fall-off.
  16. Agree. Hashan JGood brought the tough defense mentality. It is now lost. Where is Fred?
  17. has not shown on kmox postgame. doesn't appear he will. hasn't sent anyone.
  18. I'll say it. We have no leader(s) on this team. See nothing on the floor to indicate we have one. Miss JGood
