Who voted for Matta? 😀

Willard. Nova was down, he got them back up.

So people said the team was bad after a bad loss? Stop the presses! That run-of-the-mill stuff can't be what Geno was talking about. Like I said above, I avoided this board after Creighton because I didn't want to read that stuff and I knew that there would be a lot of it because after a...

I skipped this board after the Creighton loss because I didn't want to read the overreactions, but I also feel like real fans -- however emotional or irrational -- have a right to criticize the team's play. I don't know what comments Geno was responding to, or where he read them, but it's not...

For those who haven't seen this old video, enjoy:

I know this is OT but I thought some NBA heads might find it as funny as I did: (Translation; Instagram suggested a post to me from a Serbian page about Jokic being the second player with the most triple-doubles in NBA history, and they "translate" all the American names and this might be the...

Mashburn said last night that they use them in Europe and they're fine to play on.

RIP. That's insane re those guys. A guy I work with is in his early 40s, went in for one, they found cancer, and he had to undergo treatment. He's in the clear for now. He'd have left a wife and kids behind if he didn't get that test. I only just got one a couple years ago (I'm 49). They...

It's like watching a car crash in slow motion. You see the poor rotations and the opposing players getting free. I don't know why this (fantastic) staff hasn't been able to coach these guys up on this. They don't all need to be Bill Russells and Mo Cheeks out there, but waaaaaaayyyyyyy too many...

No, but that only means we've got room to grow! I do think we can improve offensively but I am concerned about the defense given how far into the season we are and how many warts we're still seeing. Reed was caught out of position all night (he did have a terrific second half offensively) and...

I think it's not so much he's looking at him as Air Jordan, but he's looking at his potential to be Air Jordan, which is pretty irrelevant. If you look at two All Americans, the fact that one of them is a fantastic NBA prospect because of measurements or age or intangibles etc. while the other...

Great, they predicted he'd be a great NBA player. And? Kenny Smith has talked about how hard MJ worked after leaving UNC, and through the Olympics, to tighten his handle and improve his game. Everything you're talking about happened after he left UNC.

That's what Knight said after the Olympics, you're right. He was very impressed. OTOH, here's what the guy who drafted Jordan thought: “When I drafted him, I said, ‘OK, we’re gonna get a good player here,'” said Rod Thorn, the Nets president who was Chicago’s GM when the Bulls had the No. 3...

You're right. The way I framed it (20/20 hindsight), the Rockets certainly would have picked him #1. (Although some people do disagree.) Everybody rightfully gives Houston a pass because of how amazing (H)akeem was.

This is a pretty dumb debate. I didn’t say MJ wasn’t a better college basketball player than Ray, but Ray was pretty fantastic. UNC would have the advantage in the positional matchup but it’s not like it’s Lew Alcindor vs Jake Voskuhl. I think people are retconning UNC MJ into Air Jordan. If...
