This is an unfair day to ask this question, but who is the better NBA prospect -- Fox or Monk?

I've thought since the 4th or 5th game that Fox is our best player and best prospect. He isn't as flashy as Malik, but damn he's good.

If Fox develops a J, he's the answer. Otherwise, its Monk who could be special if he polishes up the rest of his game- defense, effort, penetratiion, ball handling, etc.

My HOF ballot (as if anyone cares). Interested to see what ends up happening today.

- Bonds
- Clemens
- Manny
- Sosa
- Pudge
- Vlad

Sheffield is the closest without making the cut.

I would lose Sosa and add Raines, Sheff, Mussina, Schilling, and Hoffman.

I want to see what the sportswriters do and I eagerly await their rationale behind not voting somebody in, especially a clear cut first ballot guy like Pudge.

? That's like the 20th butthole joke already, would expect nothing less from Mugshot and the rest of the unfunny toilet humor usual suspects in here.

It's nowhere near my *******. Lower back/tailbone incision. But by all means, keep them coming -- it's super funny. Maybe add some poop in for dramatic effect.




Lmao I laughed so hard silently that my eyes started watering....not what I pictured at all, really.

How much of this is the fault of cheese?

I think Monk's size will hurt him at the next level. While things have changed and shooting is at a premium in the modern NBA, Monk doesn't really have much combo guard to his game and he's only 6'3.

Both are (obviously) awesome, but I think that at this point Monk is flashier and Fox is better.

I don't think size affects Monk much. When engaged, he doesn't have much trouble getting his shot.

Gabriel's shot is so technically simple there isn't much room for anything to go wrong so long as he shoots it with confidence...which he now is.

That could be a sneaky little bonus weapon. Agree with Geese though, his energy and flying around for rebounds is what we need most.

The fact Willy hasn't 'shopped an old fashioned rolleyes on that thing yet tells me he died in Detroit this weekend.

Uh, prayers, I guess?

Sorry, not touching that damn thing. I never want to see that again.

Some of you need to think about BBdK's feelings here. Forget the physical pain he is in, think about our little buddy's emotional state.

Not sure what he was trying to accomplish by taking the air out of the ball on O (maybe trying to limit possessions for foul trouble?) and leaving Monk in the game when he was destroying us on both ends.

It's just what he does. Game gets tight, slow it down. Other team makes a run, slow it down. 8 minutes left with a 5 point lead, slow it down.

Not saying it's good (sometimes it is, depending on the team & the opponent) or bad (sometimes it is, depending on the team & the opponent), but it ain't changing.

Miss St had more fast break point than us, if that tells you anything. First time all season that's happened.

Of course, that was inflated by the 7 straight turnovers Monk had at one point that all led to uncontested layups, but still...

I'm sorry, Adrian. I just want you to smile.

Or cry.

But, can I use your original pic in a 4-Wheel Drive Ad?

I'll give your wound complete credit or keep you anonymous, whichever you prefer.

^ he also flexed another time when someone else on our team scored. [laughing] That's his little signature move.

He does have some serious guns, so I get it.

Would LOVE to have Gabriel as a Sophomore. Kid could develop into a mid 1st Round draft pick with that pogo stick action.

Bring brack Briscoe too. He would dominate next year.

"Pudge" miraculously lost 30 pounds in the 2005 offseason, the year MLB began testing for PEDs. To say he's a HOFer may be true by the numbers, but there's plenty of reason to leave him off the list.

Personally, I'd like to see Cooperstown finally address these issues. Even if they let all of the PED junkies in, I'm okay with that. We just deserve uniformity and clarity.

So we're cruising along in the second half up 18, team loses focus lets MSU back into the game, everyone gets redassed (on top of the redass over the way the officials have called the game for both sides), a butt wound pic is posted and everyone cringes in horror and probably throws up in their mouths a little.

GYERO Page 2300: A page that will live in infamy.

I neither love or hate slowing it down in a close ball game under 4. I get it though. Up 4-6 points try to limit the amount of possessions the other team has to beat you but you have to execute your half court offense well and not play ole ******** defense. We were fine on the first one when Monk wasn't throwing it to the other team.

Changed the way I sort my work emails. Went from date received to who sent it. Bold move that's paying off.

Tell me more.

Does it go to separate folders by person or just a block list of **** from different people that you have to sort through in the inbox?

- Glad Mags brought back the podcast. I could listen to that rascal Gottlieb talk hoops all day.

- I'll give Streaky Monk this- that was his first horrible game this year and he hasn't more than 3 or so bad games. He may not be pouring in 24 every game but he's been more consistent than advertised.
