    Maybe this was the problem with his 3 point shooting the first 3 years. But once he found out he was shorter he adjusted his shot accordingly and his percentage went up . F'ng science man.

    NBA, yes. If he goes to anyone on my list of hated schools or coaches, I hope he fails quite frankly. Satan, UNC Iowa Indiana Michigan

    well, a couple weeks ago the suggestion was that he'd be looking to get his game outside the paint more. The lack of a true 5 on our team forced him to play the post more than he wanted.

    so I went and checked. On April 30 one of our insiders was talking about getting the right 5 signed up might entice Hawkins back. I know 12 days ago feels like an eternity, but don't make it sound like the notion is totally out of left field. It's a mere month ago that Where do we stand with...

    Got lucky here. I thought it would be fun to see a poster who's ignored by multiple people be first. Is this going to mess up people's counts?

    Sometimes I wonder how old people on here are. Or their life experiences. My boss trusts me. He has confidence in me. Sometimes he questions my decisions. I love my wife. I trust her. Sometimes she buys stupid $h!t. I literally do not know a single fan that occupies the territory some...

    well, we don't really know that it's 100% accurate. so much of what has come out over time has been unrealistic. When it turns out wrong, the people suggest that things changed. But we don't know if it changed or if the info was not accurate. The first Boswell recruitment was a great...

    No kidding. Two seasons ago we rebuilt a roster and we're told we were made for March. We then failed to meet expectations and clearly had chemistry issues. This season we had lower expectations but greatly exceeded them due in large part to one of the best coaching jobs we've ever seen by...

    This isn't really accurate. Whether guys are coming in from the portal or from your team last year doesn't really change the monetary equation much. You've got to pay your current players market rate or you're going to lose them. The figure to look at (which literally NO ONE can) is the total...

    I'm with you. I have serious doubts about her story. Find a guy in a bar who has a high probability of being an athlete. Concoct a story. There's too many hoaxes out there for me to give certainty to people in these situations.

    I'm imaging the anti-GMO crowd giving him an endorsement deal and that one being countered defensively by Monsanto.

    While this process is not transparent, it sure looks like the market has changed dramatically. So I don't know who should be getting paid more than Shannon, but it appears to play this game with the best that will need to happen. We've seen claims that we're a top ten team when it comes to...
