He was a big bodied freshman Rim protector who could shoot. He had great potential but for whatever reason many people on here could not stand the fact that he needed some time to develop and couldn’t just take his production at face value. “Patience” seems to be the mantra around here so being that critical of his play doesn’t make sense anymore. We could sure use him this year!



Either you are trolling or never watched LSU when he was here. Dude was beyond SOFT... super weak... and thank god he had some height because I think my 12 year old has a higher vertical than him. I shite you not when he jumped he only left the floor about 6 inches. He literally was terrible and he could not shoot. And for the people saying that he was a project and people just saw 5* and expected more... yes they did. Quit handing out random 5*'s for nothing. If you are considered a top 25 player in the country and a 5* you should be wayyyyyy better than he was.

guess you haven’t been reading this board much the past few weeks

How else would I have noticed your constant failures to frame wade’s tenure at lsu in the worst possible ways to somehow make it seem like the failure of mcmahon’s current season “isn’t that drastic”?

quote:

said there were 4-6 remaining games we’d have a good chance to win.

The rest of that prediction referenced wade’s 18-15 first season, and how “this difference isn’t that drastic”. From 12-9 at the time of that post to 12-14 currently.

quote:

So through 2 of those games I’d say my prediction was spot on.

You conveniently neglected to mention the 8-10 sec record that year. How’s that conference record this year looking? Would you classify it as drastically different?

Are you arguing that we didn’t have a good chance to win those games I listed?

I mentioned that we were 9-9 last year and had 4 to 6 winnable games remaining. Winning the games we had a good chance of winning would put us 3 or 4 games back of where we were last year. That happens and all of the sudden its not that bad and there is hope. Obviously we haven’t won the first two listed.

I don’t know if you are too dumb to understand this or what but if we would have beat Texas Tech and UGA, both of which we were in til close to the end, along with a few of the other remaining winnable games we’d finish somewhere in the 16-18 win range.


Get Will Wade’s dick out your mouth and use your brain a little bit. McMahon has been terrible so far. Will Wade is not a basketball god like this board makes him out to be. There are other SEC teams that are terrible too and we happen to play them all in the 2nd half of the season.

I’m stating that since your prediction of 4-6 more winnable games the team has added 5 more losses to its current losing streak.

No, you didn’t.

Winning 45% less than the previous year is “not that bad and there is hope” and you have the nerve to talk about people being enamored with Wade for no reason.

Oh wow, imagine that.

quote:

Tell us more about his dumb other people are mr 4-6 more winnable games.

And again, you strain to find the worst possible way to present wade’s tenure then turn around and use ifs and moral victories to support this shitty season.

How could it be there when it’s busy fricking your wife?

quote:

as if you knew the first thing out this

quote:

McMahon has been terrible so far.

‘Less drastic and not that bad because moral victories’

quote:

Will Wade is not a basketball god like this board makes him out to be.

Pointing out that Wade is a far better coach than McMahon does not mean people think he’s a god.

quote:

The 2nd half of the season started 4 games ago. How’s that going?

I didn't hate him, but I did think Shaq's kid deserved more of Efton's minutes. Shareef outhustled, scored, and rebounded more than Reid.

Again, i listed the 4-6 winnable games in a previous thread. We were in the 1st two I listed until the end. Prediction is accurate so far. Continuing to ask how’s that going isn’t going to change the fact that.
