I like Tubby and think Memphis is a good job for him...Minnesota and Texas Tech are two of the worst jobs in hard conferences...not on the level of UK/Vandy football but still uphill climbs. Memphis is one of the three best jobs in a decent, but not great conference. Tubby gets Penny as his Assistant, gets decent players and he can win there. Will he win a title? No...but my guess is Memphis wants a few years of consistent decent play to set up then hiring a young coach to take to the next level. Tubby is perfect for that

Scuttlebutt coming later

I hate Jayson Tatum -- more than any incoming HS stud I can remember really.

Austin Rivers is hard to beat.

On the flip side, I don't think I ever wanted a player that we didn't have a great shot at getting like Stanley Johnson in the Cal Era.

So--the IP addresses that skewed Ramsey no confidence poll came from the same building where his office is located.

This story was what finally tipped the scales for me. I hope they keep him forever. This dude had staff or work study kids in there refreshing an online opinion poll and voting that he was doing a good job, and nothing is going to ever convince me that's not what happened because it's too awesome.

That new book "The Arm" by Jeff Passan sounds pretty good. Anybody read any of it?
My buddy from high school Stevie Delabar's arm is the cover of that book. Great story if you want to look it up on HBO Sports.

@BernieSadori driving around listening to buffet sounds like what I would do on the way to kill myself, seriously. But, I'm biased because every ****** tipping 40-60 year old in a Hawaiian shirt(surprise no people on islands actually wear those awful things besides yuppie tourists that think that's how we dress and it makes you stand out like a tool) wants to listen to him and thinks that's all you should do while here. Shew, sorry that just kind of came out but I do feel better.

Why in the world would the NBA put its two biggest regular season games all year up against each other? Seems like they could've changed that a few weeks ago.

My dad is up getting Ulis's auto right now at Barleycorns. Does it for everyone one of our guys. BJW or not, thats become a pretty cool tradition especially since we don't get to celebrate hardly anyone on Senior Day anymore.

At some point(s), on an infinite time scale, a lot more stuff is going to come out on UofL and not all will be good for them on this. Trust me on this. I will try to be forthcoming, but please bear with me on this. I can only release so much at a time on this.

Take some Ambien if you find yourself hitting refresh all night long on this, tifwiw, ymmv, jmco on this.

Since the Warriors are abusing the Grizzlies so bad, I flipped over to Kobe's final game. Good lord, the Lakers are trying to hard to make sure Kobe goes out with a big night. As soon as any of them touch it, they pass it to Kobe. Dude looks so tired, he's fumbling the ball and everything else and you can tell part of the time he's not looking for it but they're zinging it to him anyway.

^ Did you expect something different? He is going to try for 50 and I'm sure that has been the plan since he announced his retirement.

The only question is whether the Jazz play him straight up since this game is meaningless to them.

Yeah, would have been nice if they just played him his normal 20 mins and lost by 30 anyway. Silly Lakers. I would have preferred if he just sat the bench all night. Would have been better viewing.

The best part of Kobe's 60 pts is all of the moving screens that Julius Randle kept setting for him that weren't called. Randle was basically playing offensive line and moving all over, pushing and shoving the defenders, with nothing being called.

The NBA...it's FANtastic!

I expected them to get him the ball, but I expect them to be smart about it and not look like a bunch of grade school kids. Because of how they were getting him the ball and flinging it at him is why they were down 12 at that point. Once they started being smart and initiating it by getting him the ball either right off the rebound or by initiating the offense and looking for their shots and not just automatically flinging it to him, they started coming back.

Kudos to him though. He took over 4Q and reminded us all of Kobe in his prime. Ended 3Q with 37 with a ridiculous volume of shots. 4Q, he could not miss. Was awesome to watch him end it with quarter. That was perfection.

Kobe. [smoke]

That was incredible in the 4Q. :fire:

Helluva way to go out. Yes, he was gunning, and yes, everyone was doing their part to get him basically every shot...

...but 60 points is still 60 points, and that 4Q was like Prime Kobe in a close game. Down 8 w/ 2 to go and he goes off for the win & the go-ahead winner. 15 pts in a 17-2 run to close. Pretty fitting, sports is really cool like that sometimes. #Mamba :sunglasses:

-Sorry about your record btw, Jordan/Bulls. GGP.

The crazy thing about GS is that their starters, relatively speaking, didn't have to play a ton of minutes. So it's not like they had to kill themselves to get this record.
