    TSJ and Ayo on the floor. For those home theater nerds out there, if you watch on Peacock, it's in Dolby Atmos.

    This is AWESOME to watch. He's outperforming game 3. Turning into a go-to guy. Getting mad recognition and the dude's about to get PAID and I couldn't be happier for him.

    Ayo was one of the stars of the game. Great post game interview. Announcers really fawning over him. Super proud of that kid at the Jordan Brand store who picked us over Wake Forest. Great human being too.

    Where exactly IS Blackwell? I'm in Long Beach on a work trip and can swing by wherever and make an Orange & Blue pitch if needed. I'm just here to help the team win.

    I bet Petro will have more success at a school that doesn't value defense as much as us....kind of similar to a couple other sparingly used younger guards in the past few years.

    There's still the guys who enter the portal AND put their name in the draft only to back out of the draft later though. I'm confident that come Octember, there will be a couple roster spots occupied by guys not on our (fans) radar now.

    Seems like every year since the current system's been in place, we clamor for this transfer guy or that transfer guy 4 days after the season ends, but we end up with "better" guys coming in because there's more names to enter the portal later and the staff is patient and working better things...

    That half court pressure is something they have to counter

    I go to the FoxSports app as backup in that situation and stream until it's on TV. Either way, radio is saying tip-off will now be 8:15.

    I know everyone is assuming he's coming here, but I'll wait until the more established journalists publish a commitment before I consider it a done deal.
