    Took him a bit to figure things out but Wembanyama has put together a hell of a rookie year. Early on I had Chet as ROY, at this point it's got to be Wemby. 21 10 3.5APG 3.5 BPG. Negatives no way he should be shooting under 50%, 46.7 but that's a function of both shot selection and strength...

    Desmond Ridder to the Cardinals (Traded Rondale Moore)

    Hope he proves me wrong but i didn't like Ridder in college and thought he was terrible in Atlanta. If we get into a situation where we need him to play, I hope he's improved.

    Do you have any idea how hard it is to play 12 minutes in an NBA game and not commit a single foul? Didn't matter AD got a eye injury and missed the last 3/4 of the game so they won. And the shot clock nonsense ruined the game, 20 plus minutes to play the last 1:30 because of reviews and shot...

    I get why the Lakers shoot lots of FT's but this is getting a bit silly. 2nd straight game the Warriors opponent went the entire first quarter without being called for a single foul. They're a bad matchup for the Warriors because they're so big but when they literally never get called for a...

    I didn't even realize this until today. ASU player Jose Perez quit the team after the USC game and missed the UCLA game to go play pro ball in the Dominican Republic. Not clear why he couldn't wait a few more days but not necessarily anything about Hurley either

    ASU Baseball 2024

    know nothing about ASU baseball but my HS basketball teammate as a freshman, Jeff Harger was an assistant at ASU for softball for several years, from hitting coach he moved up. But I guess he followed the coach to Texas A&M a few years ago. Probably for the same reason, money.

    If I had to make a prediction, if Collins transfers, UCLA will be on the short list. Collins and Tyger Campbell grew up together, had the same workout coach etc. Collins started at Michigan but barely played then went to ASU, so going to UCLA moving to the Big whatever would put him back in the...

    Has to be asked. IS ASU even considering moving on from Hurley? Every year lots of athletes totally undisciplined style, terrible shots, high turnover and Hurley losing his marbles. In the last 13:03 of the game Saturday ASU scored FIVE points! ONE FG in the last 13 minutes. There's a bunch of...

    Arizona Hoops 2023-2024 - Getting Up from the Mat After Princeton

    From what we're told it sounds like Fibleuil the French kid and Mara have the biggest NIL's. Fibleuil they had to outbid Gonzaga and the G League. Mara was to get him to not stay in Spain. It's much better but when the bulk of the incoming recruits were being recruited, UCLA had a bad NIL...

    Yeah I'm sure the UA sites get it too but Mick has been raving about UA and he loves KJ Lewis, called him a future 10 year pro. Love is a better player now but what people love about Lewis is he's such a great rebounder for his size. He was IMO the guy who broke the game open last night when he...

    Arizona Hoops 2023-2024 - Getting Up from the Mat After Princeton

    Probably not that hot yet. There's a bunch of Louisville rumors but I'm not buying those his daughter loves LA he seems to as well. This year basically was the team is so young and when they were recruiting they had a terrible NIL, as Jefferson said last night, so they just kept losing kids...

    I hope that was a one off for ESPN with Bob Myers at a Warriors game. Even as a Warriors fan that was bad to listen to, not that he's not able to do the job but it was just so focused on his return to the Bay area and the Warriors they even apologized multiple times to Bucks fans for the...

    Doc Rivers. The Bucks played the first 20 minutes tonight and were called for a grand total of ONE foul. Then Curry drove, drew a foul on Brook Lopez and Doc jumps up off the bench complaining about the call. 1 foul in 20 minutes Doc.

    That was the best decision I made in ages. The night before they were saying Curry was going to miss the game with a sore knee. You could see the last couple of games he was clearly not 100% so I just assumed he wouldn't play. So I binge watched "The Sinner" on Netflix and missed the game. I saw...

    I don't think we have a draft thread yet so I'm just going to throw it in here. If he goes pro Myles Rice from Washington State is going to be a first rounder and it will be an amazing story. Kid signed with WSU 3 years ago, hurt himself lifting weights, at least he thought, turned out to be...

    Trade speculation: Justin Jefferson to Arizona Cardinals

    I was going to joke we should trade them Larry in return. I agree it's almost assuredly just some guy on BR speculating. But yeah if the price were right I'd do it

    Has to be said, Joker is so good on offense it's not fair. Last 3 games 21 points 19 boards 15 assists in 31 minutes, 29 15 14, in 35 minutes, 32 16 16 in 37 minutes. IN all 3 games he had a triple double by mid 3rd quarter.

    Yeah the reaction of Kerr was amazing, like what in the hell are you doing. Hands on his head you'd be stunned if a rookie did that but a guy with Klay's experience?

    Well my friend that works at Super Micro made bank but not as much as she could have. Trading window opened, in the 3 weeks leading up to it the stock went from about 300, to her selling at 775! She only had 6 shares after taxes but still nice. And of course today it's over 1000 so had she held...

    Super Bowl LVIII (58)

    Of course just saying it's a hot topic locally because the photo is pretty clear, ball still in Mahomes hand OL blocking in the end zone because it's a run pass option

    Super Bowl LVIII (58)

    FYI the other popular comment in the bay area is from a picture that shows a Chiefs OL standing in the end zone before Mahomes threw the game winning pass, so it should have been ineligible downfield

    Super Bowl LVIII (58)

    So to be clear, you're saying the guy who threw for almost 4200 yards and 31 TD's, averaging 9.6 YPC, is afraid to throw the ball downfield? Purdy is not Mahomes, but he's not even close to Jimmy G when it comes to taking shots. KC has really good CB's, it was obvious Deebo, and Kittle, were...
