Lakers preparing offer for Hurley

[johnhuskies95]

Ya know I watched some of the Mavs/ Celtics tonight and I don’t watch the NBA and I realized exactly why.
These guys dribble down to standing set positions with barely any screens or play development, little movement until someone makes a one on one move, converts or misses then maybe a kick out for a 3. Yawn.
The crowd chants defense almost robotically.
This is what Danny yearns for?

The Celtics run predominantly a 5 out style of offense, it's not my cup of tea, but their efficiency numbers have undoubtedly been great all year. The Mavs run a mid to late 2000's iso-ball offense that only works because they have two of the best shot creators on the planet.

I'm seeing alot of good things from the UConn side, and idk if I should be cautiously excited or see that as a sign we're screwed like almost every time with this program

 

[Jaydumo20]

There's been a decent amount of people questioning his character for "dragging out" the process and calling him an attention seeker

Strange, as DH hasnt said a word this whole time. He's the most quiet anybody has ever been in a public decision of this magnitude. Consequently it drove me nuts with anxiety. But it'll all end tmrw.

Given that we’re 6/6 in title games, the “woe is me” stuff is a bit misplaced.

The next time you see Hurley coaching on the sidelines not as a UConn coach will be in Los Angeles…but it will be as the head coach of the US Mens Basketball team in the 2028 Olympics!

To all of my "friends" who are so supportive of my opinions. @navery12 @superjohn @AntG168 @FearThePups @brasssbonanzaa among others.

I promise you this. If Danny's announcement tomorrow is he's going Lakers.. You won't have to worry about dealing with me on the Yard any longer.

If it's UConn. Business as usual

whatd i do?

 

[bendm]

Hmm...

Hurley is playing 4D chess. He used the LA lakers of all franchises as a bargaining chip and publicity stunt. He gets a well deserved raise and additional resources for the program and simultaneously achieves legendary status over the course of a weekend. The 5*s will be beating down the doors to play in storrs. He’ll leave for the Knicks once we win #8. Sweet dreams boneyard.

(Or I could be dead wrong)

Borges is a hack that has been fished. Lazy research

Nah, he’s been really good

more specifically talking about the non sports side of things

He ate the cheese LOL

Trilly Donovan is good and nobody is forcing you to give him money.

Trilly is good but, my god. The UConn channel on his discord is unreadable due to all the trolls.

 

[JayKoz]

I can’t sleep, work is going to be awful tomorrow.

The discord is flawed, especially the lack of moderation in team channels. But you get a ton out of it if you’re a fan of the sport, not just UConn basketball.

Admittedly my usage has gone down significantly since transfer season ‘ended.’ But it was the best place I’ve seen for real time updates on what’s going on around the sport in all facets. I wouldn’t blame anyone if they paused their subscription until next off season though.

Ryan Gomes thinks he’s being sneaky by flipping his name backwards

Damn, I usually check for backward spelling and anagrams. Good pick up.

I can’t sleep, work is going to be awful tomorrow.

Funny story from Windhorst about Geno in the first minute of this podcast. Windy recounts Geno joking about his new extension: "I should've had Cleveland offer me the job, I could've maybe gotten a better contract."

 

[CONN78SEJ]

But MacAurthur actually said “ I shall return”.. Then when he did return he said…..”People of the Philippines, I have returned” . So I expect Hurley to say “ people of UCONN nation “ I have returned”, if he actually returns.

Well whatever……at least MacArthur never pulled the rug out from anyone and flew to Tokyo to have sushi with Emperor Hirohito.

What's worrisome to me is why the suspense. If he's staying there's no reason for it. If he's leaving and feels he needs to break the news first to his team, it makes sense.

I've asked myself that. But luckily speculation dies in a few hours. Fingers crossed

 

[AllHusky]

Well, I did it made it to the end again! Still no prize in the cracker jacks box! However, I must say, as always, it has been unbelievable sharing this experience with my fellow boneyarders! I hope you all are able to smile later today!

 

[Skiblets]

Me too

It’s like the South Park episode when they make it to the end of Guitar Hero ‘Congratulations. You’re a complete loser ‘

It makes perfect sense if he’s still negotiating a new contract. The second he says “I’m returning” he loses the leverage.

 

[dennismenace]

99% of college basketball’s teams and fans want him to leave UConn is my guess. BE fans of other teams will try to say different but they’d rather not have to go against him, and we are not beloved for our domination otherwise.

Duke would like to see him go. Coach K is "helping the Lakers" in their pursuit of DH.
I could not believe that when I read it. I thought we were rid of Ratface. If DH stays Duke and Kentucky will forever be looking up at Uconn. LOL I smell Doooooook.

 

[QuickDraw]

I'm hoping if he was going to go they would have done a presser around 6pm last night a couple of hours before the game, this way the league & lakers get tons of buzz for couple hours before the game and probably boost viewership for the finals. IMO this is a good sign he's staying.
