    So sick of the Oscar negativity

    You’re absolutely right on about Toppin. He did a ton of little things that don’t show up in the box score to help this team win. Including helping initiate the offense from time to time which is impressive from somebody his size, especially given where his skill level was when he got to campus...

    So sick of the Oscar negativity

    But hey, who am I to deny you of the satisfaction of using Oscar as a proxy for your own Persecution Complex? By all means, continue telling us how criticizing Oscar’s flaws as a player is really just a front for the War Against Christianity. Just one question though. How did you feel about the...

    So sick of the Oscar negativity

    I’ve made my point. Unfortunately for you, while you accuse me of being a pizza cutter, the reality is that you’re simply a butter knife. Far too dull to be of any real use.

    So sick of the Oscar negativity

    Because his game is archaic. NPOY is an award voter on by media types, most who never played and have a base level understanding of the game, that rely on raw counting stats to justify their votes. Anybody with eyes knew Oscar was far from being the best player in college basketball last year...

    So sick of the Oscar negativity

    It’s quite simple. Being a great guy means nothing on the basketball court. My grandmother is quite literally the nicest, kindest person I’ve ever met. I don’t want her playing the post for Kentucky. Oscar is a great dude publicly, but there was clearly some friction privately between he and...

    So sick of the Oscar negativity

    Empty stats for an empty player. Very much in the vein of a Russel Westbrook. All those stats and very little impact on winning in the biggest games against the best teams.

    So sick of the Oscar negativity

    What makes me uncomfortable is seeing him get blown by time and time again by guards in PnRs lol. I couldn’t care less what “ism” he subscribes to, except for his propensity for narcissism.

    So sick of the Oscar negativity

    He’s not “special”. He’s a relic from a bygone era both in terms of his play style/skill set and his devoutness to a frankly fake belief system used exclusively by those in power to subject those they ruled over into subservience. The bottom line was Oscar let all the success go to his head...

    2 for 22 and 1 for 12 is not Cal's fault

    Because Livingston is just darker complected, less skilled Toppin? Livingston at this point in his career is a downhill, transition scorer almost exclusively and a guy who can rebound a little bit. He, like Toppin, is not at a point where the offense can 1) run through him as a playmaker or 2)...

    Hasn’t baseball won 15 straight games? Lol

    2 for 22 and 1 for 12 is not Cal's fault

    And as far as your other points, KState was willing to let Toppin try to beat them offensively. They weren't going to switch that PnR if you ran Toppin out on the high ball screens. I will say I would have liked to see them invert the offense some more and post Wallace up on Nowell, which they...

    2 for 22 and 1 for 12 is not Cal's fault

    They did though? You just clearly don't understand basketball well enough to see the adjustment and then the adjustment to the adjustment KState made. So let me walk you through it. Kentucky opened up in their standard "Drop Coverage" with Oscar in high ball screen situations due to his lack of...

    2 for 22 and 1 for 12 is not Cal's fault

    Not at all, a CEO of a business isn't 1) relying on the performance of teens and early 20 year olds and 2) those employees don't have other people physically preventing them from accomplishing their goals every second of every work hour lol. If your analogy is correct, why stop at Cal? Isn't it...

    Apples to oranges comparison big fella. You're drawing a false equivalency here.

    2 for 22 and 1 for 12 is not Cal's fault

    Nah, they didn't let the team down. They were being forced into roles they weren't suited for. Bottom line is both of those guys are mid-major players. Reeves was a 4 year mid-major guy and Toppin should have been. We have to admit that is exactly what they were. Mid-major players. They can...
