Hope Wheeler adjusts because he is still valuable. Wallace can't play 40 every night and he has also shown a propensity for foul trouble. Embrace the role of spark plug Wheeler!

If memory serves, it took about this amount of time into a season for Cal to realize that Quade Green wasn't it and to start playing Quickley more. This isn't apples to apples as Wheeler is a better player and consistently starts than Green ever did, but it also shows a shift in Cal's reliance on "upper" classmen since his early UK days.
Wallace should be in the same mold as Brandon Knight but with a lot less pressure due to his surrounding cast. Besides, it's not like Wheeler becomes a bench rider, you can certainly bring him in to spell Wallace especially if he gets to play with Reeves/Frederick/Livingston/Oscar. You start meshing his play with guys like Toppin/Oscar/Livingston and Reeves and it's no surprise he ends up pounding the rock to death.
I'd like to say we figured this out a bit but I just can't trust Cal quite yet.

I'm with you there, but won't be shocked if Wheeler doesn't start Saturday. I really hope his body language isn't the start of a new team turmoil.
I love Saw-veer, and he absolutely has a place on this team, and we certainly need him, but if he even so much as throws an ill intentioned side eye, I'd log into the portal on his behalf and help him start shopping.
This should have been Wallace's team to lead since Day 1. That much is becoming clear with the quickness.

-find an Ethiopian joint for lunch. DC has the largest Ethiopian population outside of Ethiopia. Top 5 "ethnic" food, imo.
Sahvir absolutely has a place on the team but only when 2 of Wallace, CJ, and Reeves are on the floor too and it's not late in the game.
Just need Cal to get on board with Toppin splitting time with Livingston instead of Ware.

More upscale: Ethiopic in the H Street NE corridor
Mid-range: Enjera in Crystal City (Arlington, VA)
Casual: Enat in Alexandria, VA (only had delivery from here but always solid)
There are also a bunch in the Silver Spring, MD area, but I'm not too familiar with the ones up there.
I suggest driving 8.5 hours to Detroit if you’re in the mood for elite Indian food served out of a gas station.
The good doc really was ready to die on that hill that the Murray's Petro and Cigarettes between 8 and 9 mile served Michelin quality take-out food.
His constant bragging about owning property in Detroit was a staple of his early GYERO overposting

Speaking of Detroit, we still should’ve purchased the Pontiac Silverdome when that option presented itself to the GYERO brass.
That sucks. Wondering if he cased the shop before breaking in since he got so much in value in so little time. Hope any security cameras help track him down.
Blue Door looking to move to a better spot. Anybody have the lowdown on a possible location?
Well this happened next door last night. At least the crackhead took out that ugly *** fence. What an eyesore.
Meh.
They played tougher, played more together, believed in themselves, hustled more, played with more grit, etc.
Forgot to give my pizza review - it was good.
Just remember that Cal is going to somehow spin landing on this lineup as simply the result of finding the 5 "toughest" guys on the team.
Also, he'll explain how he made sure to "block out the noise" in the process of leading the team into a resurgence.
Of course, listening to the "noise" would have avoided this basketball team being on the goddamned tournament bubble in late January.

As long as Cal isn't a dickhead to the Big Blue Nation, I *really* don't care what he says. He's Charlie Brown's mother to me -- it is all white noise.
Just win, fatty.

I believe John Wall, clearly Hansborough already had a perception because Wall was committed to Memphis to Cal and then had to make another decision.
Hansborough was a little ***** no matter how good he was, and his bloody face hyperventilating is all I remember of him.

Look, cal is a doofus and is deserving of some criticism, but he’s not that fat! We gotta stop acting like he’s Rick majerus or something. I bet I have 70lbs on cal, you’re all making me self conscious!!!
Btw - he wasn’t committed to Memphis under Cal iirc. His only commitment was to the Cats.
They never lose that UNC sanctimonious attitude even after being exposed as the biggest fraud program in NCAA history.
I mean, ok, but the point is when Cal came here that’s when Wall started looking. He certainly wasn’t considering us until Cal came here.

I assume this was from the postgame show last night....
“The only thing I worried about was defensively, and that means you’re putting a lot of weight on Jacob to rebound. He did it, so you can play with three guards,” Calipari said. “If he doesn’t do it, you’ve got to have Chris in there rebounding. You have to.”
Is this guy F'ing serious?? So, Oscar is like the best rebounder in the history of college basketball or whatever, and Jacob Toppin is an outstanding rebounder as well. How would the "Basketball Benny Lineup" not have enough rebounding?

Not sure how old that kid is, but it's perfectly acceptable for him to flex, pound his chest, drop down and get his eagle on, griddy, supersoak his hoe, moonwalk back to the bench, do the Ickey Shuffle, dab, etc.
Wasn't Tyler Hansbrough's Mom hired as a fundraiser with no qualifications for UNC at around $100k a year and was also stealing from the university for travel to vacation destinations on UNC's dime so she could carry on an affair with a former UNC QB. I seem to remember that was one of the many tentacles of that scandal but it was hard to keep track of all the sleaze. That Tyler is making comments about the "Bank of Calipari"?
Correct. Tyler's mom was a member of the "Ram Club," or more specific in her case, "Rammed Club."
She brought the Capri Suns and blowjobs.
His mom is a filthy dirty prostitute iirc.
I mean I like Kenny Payne but if he goes 2-29, he has to be let go, right?
