Nan, visited Normandy on a river cruise from Paris to Normandy and spent a couple extra days in Paris. Highly recommend the river cruise and depending upon the cruise line, it may have a historian provide an overview of the D Day operation. I have taken a number of river cruises and the Seine...

We were in the same class. Shabel actually came to our dorm to introduce himself and we all had a Q and A session with him. Great guy, great coach and a group of us always went to the frosh game to see his group of recruits. Fun times.

Dumb is an understatement.

Great recap, especially on Hawkins. Potential is there, but as you mention he still needs to refine his handle and IMO finishing in the paint.

A great player and maybe even a better person and champion of human rights. RIP Bill. You will be sorely missed.

Happy for Tyrese. Showed up every night and gave it his all. Nice trip from URI thru UConn to the NBA. He has to be really proud of this accomplishment. As a lot of you said and I agree with, his game may be better suited to the NBA than college.

I asked a friend this same question about 15 years ago as he had visited and enjoyed both. However he strongly recommended Sonoma for it's more rural and laidback atmosphere. Good weather, good food and just a great overall vibe. Loved the entire experience.

In games close in the final couple of minutes, you absolutely need Polley on the floor. Great game and happy for him.

If you asked me to look at his potential 3 weeks ago, I'd have agreed with you. But, we have now played 24 games this year and he still has not shown any real improvement. What is the old saying that at this point in a season, there are no freshman any more. I root for him as much as anyone on...

Over the last two games Polley and Hawkins have shot a combined 4 for 25. That is 16 % from the floor and yet we have a number of fans here blaming Hurley for team recent performances. Hurley's not the one shooting at an abysmal clip. Polley is not and never will never be a consistent scorer and...

You beat me to it. Definitely a better and more useful topic than the original 2 guy post.

As a kid I remember watching Cousy and Sherman together in the backcourt to start the game and then at some point Red Auerbach would sub in the Jones boys (Sam and KC) and the fun would begin. A pressing defense, especially from KC, and lots of action to free up Sam for his jumper. He had as...

No push back from me. I agree with your assessment.

A quick stat, the bench shot 1-13 today (Hawk, Polley and Gaff) and yet I believe all three were in for the final couple of minutes. That lineup will not win any close games. Having Gaff and Polley just kills whatever offense we have. No movement and no sense of urgency.

After closely watching Gaffney trying to play man defense last game, even if he might know the "team defense principles" better, he is too slow to defend quick penetrating guards as we all witnessed. IMO Hurley needs to give Diggins a shot, even if it's only limited court time over the next two...
