    Which SEC fan base should be most disappointed with Tourney results?

    Good point, but (and I've been gone a while) (and I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation) (and you're one of the good posters) (and, to be clear, it's perfectly fine that it's interracial and homosexual) wtf is up with that avatar?

    It’s Time for Real Conversations About the Kentucky Head Coach Role

    1. The "hurr durr talent" takes have been, are, and will always be devoid of any critical thinking or nuance. It confuses athletic potential with expected current output, ignoring the aging curve/experience, skill development, practice time restrictions, continuity, and roster fit, among other...

    Place to put my Nonsense Thread.

    I was in the weather and personnel dorm building as the electronics dorms were full. Lots more ladies in those dorms (not that it mattered, I was married). Speaking of my ex, if you were in tech school at Sheppard during that time then there's (allegedly) a good chance you slept with my ex... lol.

    Place to put my Nonsense Thread.

    Philadelphia is gross. My family and I recently stayed downtown for a couple of nights on a lark, and our first, middle, and last observations about the city were how dirty it is, even in supposedly nicer areas of town. We live next to NYC and have worked in midtown for years, so it's not an...

    Place to put my Nonsense Thread.

    I was at Keesler AFB in Biloxi, MS, at tech school finishing up one of the last blocks of my first school (electronics). The base was locked down before we even knew what was happening as we had no access to cell phones or news during school hours. The former Navy guy who told all of us about...

    Most wins against ranked opponents in the last decade.

    Likely over a large enough sample. I just recall a lot of people clinging to Tubby citing things like blowing out #1 Florida, but Florida ended up having a terrible season so it was misleading.

    Most wins against ranked opponents in the last decade.

    What about total games played against Top 25 opponents? Also Top 25 at the time the game was played, or by the teams' final rankings? AP Top 25?

    Who is the G.O.A.T?

    You started out strong with "If," but then it immediately turned to whining. 0/10, would not read again.

    Who is the G.O.A.T?

    "Who you have to beat," but then you compare who the Bulls lost to (i.e. the Celtics and Pistons) and who the Cavs beat without any other context? Who did the Bulls beat those years? What happened when the Cavs went up against all-time teams (1-3 in the Finals)? Why limit this to just the...

    How old are you? "No fundamentals?" What was missing from this series, fundamentals wise? Was it the lack of 2-handed chest passes? The lack of a boring and inefficient low post game? Maybe too much, um, Euro-stepping by Giannis and not enough, er, Connaughton doing gym rat/coach's son/last...

    What about CP3 pushing Giannis on the alley-oop? I think that's a flagrant 1 (it was called as shooting foul), but I'm pretty aggressive on pushing players in the air because it's inherently dangerous.

    Real time/full speed it looked like Giannis got there as Ayton was grabbing it. This slow motion replay clearly shows that Ayton had it under control and was about to slam it. Even more impressive that Giannis was able to get enough of the ball to block it considering where he started. So...

    2021 NBA playoffs discussion thread

    Truly insane. I was trying to figure out who else in NBA history (that I've seen, anyway, I don't have opinions on how Wilt and Russell moved) could have made that play. Maybe Andrei Karelinko? Was Rodman that quick (he had insanely quick hops, but probably not the height/reach)? Young David...

    I don't like CP3 and I can't stand watching him play. That being said, he seemed hurt. Dude barely wanted to dribble. He either had a Lebron 2011 against the Mavs moment or something's up with his wrist or hand.

    UK fans. Why was Aaron Harrison starting over Devin Booker?

    Yeah, potential in the youngest player in the draft that year. The inexorable flow of time means that Phoenix was not getting 2015 Booker but rather the player he might/would become.

    UK fans. Why was Aaron Harrison starting over Devin Booker?

    Booker was getting abused by Wisconsin's big wings - Hayes and Dekkar - in the Final Four game. Seriously, go back and watch it. It's almost like players evolve and grow as they gain strength, experience, and age.

    Paying College Athletes? Where do you see this going?

    You're right, I should have called it what the Supreme Court did: "The Court does so based on the uncontested premise that the NCAA enjoys monopsony control in the relevant market— such that it is capable of depressing wages below competitive levels for student-athletes and thereby restricting...
