I guess it was necessary- I’m still battling myself- but you stupid MFers rejoicing make me sick.

Nothing tells me a UK fan’s substance like their view on North Carolina.

This is a watered down thread and you are a bunch of watered down MFers.

Sorry for calling everyone “watered down MFers” last night. I was drunk. Now with a sober mind, I can see how hurtful that may have been. I don’t really think any of you are watered down or MFers.

A few things:

- North Carolina has one of the 5-10 best rosters in college basketball. This isn’t a ragtag bunch.

- I hate to do it but you have to give Hubert props for committing to a new style of play which prioritized spacing and outside shooting. He didn’t waver when they were sucking. He stayed the course.

- Cal needs to wake up and see how the game is played today. You don’t have to bomb 40 threes a game but you have to prioritize it. Spacing is the most important factor today. You need playmakers and shotmakers. Three shooters bare minimum, preferably 4. No more midrange 15-20 footers. The game has changed.

- Roach was awful and UNC’s guards were brilliant. Sometimes that’s all that matters. Makes me sick how all four of our guards sucked at the wrong time.

What kind of lazy dumbass coach has all that talent and can’t figure it out. Hubert Davis figured it out. I’d take HOFCJVC out of the HOF if I could.

Wheeler, Oscar, and 3 shooters would have been hard for other teams to stop assuming Oscar is setting picks and crashing boards, rather than just posting up.

Two shooters on the floor just can't win in modern basketball. Everyone is athletic enough these days to lock that down.

Wheeler
Tyty
Grady
Fredrick
Tshiebwe

Would have been something. Or take Wheeler out, bump up the others guards and add Toppin at the 4.

I don't see how we are going to get more shooting on the floor next year. Washington was a real asset in providing a good shooting threat while doing so many other things on the floor. I'm not even going to try to pretend there is some tiny chance he returns. Wallace may be similar to Washington but I don't think he's nearly the caliber of shooter TyTy is. Washington wasn't exactly Doron Lamb down the stretch anyway.

We are basically swapping Frederick for Grady and Wallace for Washington. I guess if Sharpe plays here next year, we will be able to put 3 shooters on the floor but barring that it just looks like the same squad of big athletes without a position that Calipari has been running since he's been here.

Way too early to assume this.

I tried finding the last time the Naismith Player of the Year lost in the first round and gave up after 30 years. So there’s another fun trivia question for the future.

Edit: David Robinson is the answer.

Once upon a time in a galaxy far far away…
… MaxPowerrr’s galactic empire brought order out of the cosmic chaos and settled in to watch Shaedon Sharpe play a basketball game for the University of Kentucky. He was surrounds by a celestial host and a fine charcuterie board the likes of which had never been seen before or since.

Sunday Shorts:

~ Turn 37 a week from today.

~ I've never won a raffle in my life. Went to my son's spring fling with my wife and brother/sister-in-law. Pit Boss smoker is the "grand prize". Throw a fiver on it (one ticket) and my SIL puts in for the alcoholic basket. We won both. Guess I'm smoking ribs for my birthday next week.

~ Bout to jump on Wynn's gummy train. Need something to take the edge off and can't be trusted with bourbon for that. Plus the wife, who's never tried a drug in her life, randomly asked me about what they (drugs generally) are like ystdy.

~ Spent three hours in the yard today with the first mow, weed and spray. Damn what a feeling. Good tunes in my ears, wind blowing my American flag in the front yard and the neighbors playing with their kids. Basketball cant' take this joy.

~ During the height of the pandemic, I often wondered what "normal" would look like and when I would know we are there. A group of Indian kids were running around outside yesterday double masked (their parents weren't) and it was jarring to see. Guess we're getting closer than I thought.

^ One of my biggest regrets in life is giving my 3 foot hand blown glass piece to an underclassman on the day I drove home from college for the last time. I thought I was leaving childish things behind, and that “I wouldn’t need this anymore.” Lol - false, motherfuc*er. I miss that rig everyday.

Thing hit like a metric damned ton of ****.
