    Thoughts on the "bigs" issue

    Bigs (and by that I mean true low-post players) are such a crap shoot. These kids grow fast, and often you're evaluating them in the middle of their growth. So you look at a kid's frame and guesstimate what his overall coordination, athleticism, hands, etc. will be, and that's not even taking...

    Ralph Hacker now bellyaching about Coach Cal

    Less a comment about the state of UK's program a more a comment about the evolution of basketball. The game is being co-opted by forces outside its control. If kids are good enough to go to the NBA they leave college ball for a paycheck. If they need development for the NBA there are plenty...

    Ralph Hacker now bellyaching about Coach Cal

    Sadly, many fans are "moving on", including myself to some degree. I watch every UK football game, but I only watch UK basketball once they get to the tourney. When I was a young man (I'm 40 now) I wouldn't miss a game for anything. Now I'm fairly indifferent toward college hoops in general.

    Feel free to omit any stats that don't support your premise, right? Next you're going to show me a hockey stick graph to "prove" the existence of global warming.

    I’m down big time

    I'm a big believer in the idea that there are 4 aspects of your life that lead to a meaningful existence: Family Faith Work Community If you find meaning in 3 of the 4, then you will most likely lead a meaningful existence. And if you seek meaning then happiness will most likely take care of...

    Cal at Pirates game yesterday w/ hs buddies

    Clint Hurdle is the most detestable coward in sports. His "if you cant beat 'em, hurt 'em" approach died 20 years ago. Its the attitude of a loser (he has a record that matches that attitude). Seeing Cal with that piece of subhuman garbage is the closest I've gotten to no longer rooting for...

    the scuttlebutt in phx

    With good reason. Williamson is just a modern Larry Johnson. Good but not great.

    Rupp’s Runt logging on RR today

    Correct. If it was foolproof then it wouldn't have exposed the fool (and his pathetic sycophants) for the shameless poser he is.

    Zion’s first practice at Pelicans facility

    Of course, he could plateau early, grind his knees down a little and become Charles Oakley. Plausible scenario.

    Zion’s first practice at Pelicans facility

    You have REALLY drank the hype-machine koolaide on this guy. Dunks from the foul line? Are you serious? There are like 5 guys in NBA history that can do that. The guy is an exceptionally athletic tweener, a short power forward with hops. He's not a great passer, shooter, or ball handler...
