better. osu's defense was really good this year.

i bet you werent frightened by tcu either.

goalies are weird. ride lyon until he sucks.

did monty kill ivey? or can he just not function with cade dominating the ball?

i think athleticism is what keeps him from finishing at the rim regularly, getting calls, and playing better defense. but if he had superstar athleticism, he'd be a generational prospect. its ok that he doesnt. it wont keep him from being great. luka has the same issue but he's a tank and a dead eye shooter. cade is neither. tatum is a better athlete. sga is too. banchero is taller and a tank. look, this is picking nits. we all know the biggest issue with cade is exactly what you said and what everyone else has said about this team: no support. that and consistency in his shooting and turnovers. but i think that will come with a better cast around him. the bottom line is weaver has not provided him with a team built around cade. the more i look at the future, the more i see them trading ivey. duren can stay as a roll man for cade, that worked early in the year and can work moving forward. ivey is heading toward zach lavine empty calorie territory and if you can move him in a package for quality shooters or a big that can actually play defense you might be able to maximize cade. hopefully the next gm can make some moves to free up cade because i dont trust the current one to do it. weaver would draft saar, stretch bagley, re-sign wiseman, then stretch wiseman so he can trade for a backup point guard.

the Larkins lost their baby. that's why he's been out. 😢

i have never gotten the love for isaiah livers. i realize the narrative from the team (via the media shills) is that livers is some sort of 3 and d savior, but i've never seen it. and every time livers has a decent shooting game, the media raves about him. he just seems like a below average nba bench player to me. i guess the pistons are so bad that having even one MORE of those makes people go nuts. and livers will be hurt in another week anyway. as to cade, i dont think anyone is saying cade is a bad player, but we wanted a superstar and i dont think he's that. he's not luka. he's a tall point guard, not a superstar force. yet. there's still time and i would like to see him with good players. but the worries about his athleticism are proving to have some truth to them. i'm still hopeful he can blossom into a tall chris paul.

16 straight.

and yet we didnt. again. what does that say about us?

they did the same thing with debrincat.

he got drunk with bedard's mom?

the mccaskeys dont like big personality coaches who will rock the boat. that's jim harbaugh. the report wad there have been internal meetings about jim harbaugh. that could very well be "we've met and we have no interest in jim harbaugh." who knows what former big ten commisioner and current bears president kevin warren actually thinks about jim harbaugh.

i think jj could be back. nil will give him a couple million. i wouldnt touch dante moore. he's gone from getting paid at oregon to getting paid at ucla and now he'll go be a mercenary somewhere else and get paid. if they need a qb they'll find one. i hope its not moore.

if he wants control he'll go to carolina. i doubt the bears fire poles. in fact, if they keep improving on defense and win a few more games, i doubt they fire eberfuls either (and i think they will win a few more). remember, this is the bears. they are not well run.

and carolina.

zachharie risascher. name to watch. sf defensive wiz who can actually shoot threes.

28 straight losses is the record. 26 straight in one season. we can do it!

4-39 since he traded for james wiseman. HOW DOES THIS MAN STILL HAVE A JOB?

raymond blew it by missing a wide open net and putting it right at sheshterkin. wings pp is atrocious without larkin. rangers come down and score after husso blows a save and gives up a rebound. they'll be lucky if they wave that off.

kreider totally claude lemieux's debrincat. announcers: "meh, he knew it was coming....how about that save by sheshterkin!"

rangers are working them now. its the same ol problem: cant match the other team's top talent. even more apparent without larkin.

monty is going nowhere. and nothing will ultimately change until gores no longer owns the team. in the meantime, firing troy weaver is the first thing he should do. but who takes his place? arn tellum? arn tellum's kid? you have an incompetently run franchise for a reason: tom gores has placed cronies and agents in charge of the team.

its like theyre gus johnson and joel klatt doing an ohio state game.

"at times" being the entire game.

nice job, jinx.
