[quote]But the apologists think we’re grasping straws.[/quote] Isn't VOR the only real apologist left here?...

[quote]I'm sorry. Sorry that Alvin is so fricking stupid that he gave guys that arent ready for the NBA like NAW and guys that won't be ready ever like Kenrich minutes over you. [/quote] Interesting thread to bump. I'd say that Kenrich turned out to be ready after all....

Besides the normal big attractions (Colosseum, Forum, St. Peters, Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel, Trevi fountain, etc.), I really recommend going to one of the big aristocratic mansions that are now museums. I went to the Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, but the Galleria Borghese and Palazzo Colonna are ...

[quote]Why do people assume he wouldn’t coach the playoffs? That’s ridiculous [/quote] Early Signing Day is the 18th. If Aranda takes the UNLV job, then he has to spend the next eight days frantically trying to get players to sign. There's zero time for him to be at LSU's practices or work on a...

[quote]Yeah, Bo Pelini took the Nebraska job, but stayed and coached LSU's defense to a national title against Ohio State. [/quote] There wasn't an early signing day back then. If Aranda accepts the UNLV job, then he absolutely has to spend all next week frantically trying to put together a recr...

[quote]You couldn’t wait one more week until esd or another month for the national championship?[/quote] Um, no. Other schools will have hired their coaches by then. [Edited to add] And Aranda needs this week at UNLV to desperately try to put together a recruiting class for his new school....

[quote]With Arkansas, Ole Miss, SouthFlorida, Boston College and Colorado State open and Aranda chose UNLV to go after, I’m questioning his judgement or self confidence. I promise you if he had put his name out there, he would’ve gotten an interview from everyone of these places. Something stinks he...

[quote]You’re kidding right? He takes a head coaching job he’s gone as soon as the ink is dry.[/quote] That will tell the story. If Aranda and Coach O really still have a great relationship, then Aranda will stay through the playoffs. If Aranda doesn't stay, then you'll know that the relationsh...

Aranda's defense early in the season was "allow the offense to slowly matriculate the ball down the field" and "hope they make a mistake." With our quick-strike offense, it meant that our defense was on the field all game and dead tired by the end. It's why we always had teams scoring on us late. ...

[quote]we looked like shite at Ole Miss and Ed had enough? [/quote] Aranda wouldn't blitz. He didn't want to change his defensive philosophy to fit the needs of our new offense. It didn't work....

Yeah. Someone posted his new Twitter name recently. I don't know why he dumped his old Twitter name and got a new one -- he probably wanted better followers....

If Aranda is leaving, it's because he and O had substantial disagreements on defensive strategy this year. With a quick-score offense, we needed a defense that could get off the field. It needed to take chances. If you attack, you get off the field because you either * Get a turnover * Get a ...

If he takes that job, it's evidence that O wanted him gone. Which I don't think is at all crazy. I think it was evident early in the season that LSU needed to play a more attacking style of defense -- that it was a poor strategy to just keep everything in front of you, tackle, and wait for the o...

The answer to both questions depends on the priority we put on winning this season. If we accept that player development is the main goal this season, and if we accept that we aren't making the playoffs, then we don't need to trade Lonzo or fire Gentry right now. Lonzo Ball is a crummy PG right ...

The injury report that just came out: "Derrick Favors (personal reasons) is officially listed as questionable on the team's injury report Tuesday, ahead of Wednesday's road game at Milwaukee."...

[quote]any word on zion? like footage of him, i dont know, moving around or something?[/quote] They clearly don't want us to see. Either it's really bad, or it's really good. I tend to think that it's the latter, based on the Angie Thomas tweet from last week....

Who's going to guard Giannis well enough for us to have a chance?...

I think that everyone agrees that we wouldn't trade Redick somewhere that he didn't want to go. I do think, though, that Redick enjoys playing playoff basketball. ...

Lol no. Crewz was a complete dick to anyone who disagreed with him on anything. Most of us managed to hold our tongues because we liked his inside info (which he got from one of Demps's guys who's no longer around), but some here didn't enjoy his asshattery, told him so, and he decided to leave to...

[quote][Redick] will likely not be traded because he’s an important veteran presence on their young team. But multiple executives believe New Orleans could be convinced to trade him for a significant offer.[/quote] [link=(https://www.theringer.com/platform/amp/nba/2019/12/10/21004318/nba-trade-de...
