It took until second preseason game for someone to get wacky.

That might be a record for slowness.

 

[CatOfDaVille]

I love how a ton of us (myself included) said to be patient, let Pope get his guys in here, we'll have a S16 ceiling, etc.

We were all just happy that Cal was gone.

Fast forward to the 2nd exhibition game and you get this thread. I love Rupp Rafters.

 

[kennyskywalker34]

Love the relentless effort

They will take a few lumps this year. But what a blast they are to watch.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

This team and coach is such a relief from the last 15 years!

 

[4Frusciante#]

He always have worn his first name on the back of his jersey. Did it at Arizona and West Virginia

He's European. Some of the soccer stars have done that for some time.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Dont know if they showed it on the stream but Williams is warming up


Edit well he's on the court at least

Could be much worse.
Ex game in hand; dont push him.
Hopefully just a knee on knee contusion.

Impressive: Butler, Oweh, Robinson

Not impressive: Carr, Garrison, Chandler

Jury is out: Kerr, Almonor, Williams, Noah

Jury still out on chandler I think this kid can be special just needs to get confidence I like Carr too Garrison needs some work

 

[true-blue1]

Our big men aren’t impressive. I do like Williams defense though.

That could be a problem for us this season.

 

[TortElvisII]

Neither of the announcers have mentioned the nail tonight.

It just shows you not everyone is Jimmy Dykes.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

No Williams in the 2nd half

 

[CB3UK]

They will take a few lumps this year. But what a blast they are to watch.

Really high potential ceiling once they gel and coalesce into a cohesive unit. You can see they're clearly still learning each other's tendencies.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand_rivals116236]

Let’s go!!!!

Username checks out

 

[know1]

We'll win by well over 40.

Hope Williams is OK.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand_rivals116236]

Garrison, not to be confused with Ray Allen on beautiful jump shots.

2 points, nonetheless

 

[jeffky]

Damn a out of bounds play wow

 

[phyrekat]

WTF? An inbounds play that leads to an easy basket? What wizardry is this?

 

[know1]

We ran an OOB play!

 

[CB3UK]

Inbounds plays?!?!?!what?!?!!?!

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Wow such a nice ran out of bounds play!

 

[bookerfan66]

A team with a good big man will give us trouble.

 

[rick64]

An inbounds play!!!!

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand_rivals116236]

Look at our boy, Garrison!

 

[HerrosHeroes]

You guys please cont praying fervently for Duke.

 

[TucsonCat]

Even Cal teams didn't leave players as open as Oweh was on that out of bounds play

 

[megablue]

We'll win by well over 40.

Hope Williams is OK.

Yes … 40+ … as we should !!

 

[kennyskywalker34]

He's European. Some of the soccer stars have done that for some time.

yep

 

[CB3UK]

Seeing stuff as simple as set inbounds plays shows what a lazy *** brand of basketball Cal coached. JFC this is so refreshing

 

[PoBilly]

Coming out with more intensity. Still making some bad mistakes on defense but are making up for them with quick hands of Oweh and Butler.

 

[TortElvisII]

Go make a play on the OOB.

 

[stereonut]

So, who needs to be fired?

 

[DelkBowl]

Teams with a strong front court will be trouble.

I agree but defense won’t be the issue. Our interior offense will be poor all year.

 

[gbl97]

Novices.

 

[kennyskywalker34]

Williams can play he was a Defensive player of the year.

 

[kennyskywalker34]

Going inside using their size and they are actually finishing.

 

[jeffky]

Pope did some real nice coaching at half time so nice to not have a clown screaming to the top of lungs on the side lines and a coach that does it in the locker room and practice good job pope

 

[kennyskywalker34]

Carr is a good FT shooter

 

[Yardeth]

White men can’t jump!

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Love having a big guy that can hit the free ones!
