I wonder how old this video clip is. She could be a grandmother now.
I wonder if she knows she’s a Loyalty Board legend.

Considering the script Illinois jersey behind her, I’d wager this was from within the past 5 years.

In recent memory, Frankie, Deron and TSJ all deserve consideration, but going back Nick was insanely good with Kendall not far behind. I get the sense that I rate Deron much higher than most because of how well he played within himself and involved the team, setting the tone and stepping up when needed. A lot of people forget that the historic comeback run in the tourney was mostly Deron, and for me that epitomized his leadership. Fun to have so many greats over the years. Lotta guys and teams with big hearts to go along with the talent.
Anyone who doubts Rodgers can shoot needs to reevaluate their thinking process. Now, can he deliver the shot in the game is a different question. I’ve been on the bus with him since day one. His attitude and work effort seem to be unmatched. Athleticism is high. I choose to believe he was asked NOT to shoot last year and fill a specific role. This year I suspect BU has asked him to be ready to shoot. Expecting big things from him. Won’t go as far as saying he will show out like DMFW but would not be surprised. Only downside if that happens is he’ll be hard to keep/portal and NBA may come calling

yeah, I think he's gonna be pretty good
The marbury trade killed the momentum he was starting to build on that Knicks team. I was in NYC at the time and was watching him expand his game and get more time... Then starbury came and...
And I hate marbury.... Also Carmelo (just to throw that in there)

Agree to disagree, at least about last year. Watched him up close in shootaround and everything was a brick. His being told not to shoot last year was not about a role, it was because shooting was not his strength.
Ty is a terrific player, for his attitude and athleticism and other reasons. I am super happy he is a part of this team. But none of those reasons necessarily mean he can shoot.
If he has made some massive off-season improvement in that regard, it would be awesome and I'd be even happier for him.

Probably a lot of us who are at church on Sunday at this time.
last season
That is 7 am my time, so I am going to have to set my alarm and hit the Baileys and coffee (or just stay up and continue drinking from the night before).
If it was Kentucky, she could still be a grandmother.

Battle is right, and the coaches carefully track made shots during practice.
If Ty is making 3s in practice, he will get the chance to see if he can make them in games as well
I am 60+ and have yet to find the perfect Bloody Mary..... I try, frequently. I had one, somewhere, at some point in time, that I wish I had the recipe for..... I'm just not that big of a tomato juice fan, though I LOVE cooking with it. Weird, I know.
Ty? Yeah, I'd love to see him make a 3 or two every few games. Don't expect it, and it's not nearly as crucial to expanding his game as a reliable mid-range shot is. I don't really care if he takes a single 3 this season, but I'd sure like to see 2-3 15 footers taken each game.
Ty needs to hit 40% of wide open uncontested, I'll let you take it threes just to get his defender to come out of the paint. Until he can do that he will be guarded the same way as last year. Even so he is very effective at times and can be a force to be reckoned with. Especially on defense and rebounding.

It was from a game last year. Enough time to have become a mother, perhaps… but grandma is surely out of the question.
Love Bloodies, but will not drink tomato juice by itself — and V8 juice is even worse. For Bloody Marys, I actually like Clamato juice with some horse radish. I find too may bars/restaurants go too heavy on the celery salt.
As for Ty, no idea if he’ll improve his shooting. I expect he will to some extent, but not expecting him to become some kind of knockdown shooter from 3. I will predict he’ll hit at least one though and crowd and team will go wild.

We need more of this Bloody Mary talk!

looking ready:
I don't care for tomato juice either and think V8 makes a better mix.

2 years of experience under his belt, huge chip on his shoulder and drastically improved physique: really looking forward to version 2.0
