Um….yes.
My post was sarcasm. Figured it was obvious. Apparently not.
The whole life coach thing….?
We just come off a Q1 win on the road and read criticism about every player….I just don’t get it.

We use Peacock app on LG TV to watch games, usually with no issues. However, if someone comes into the room with a phone that's also connected to the same wifi, buffering occurs. Disconnecting other devices from the wifi fixes it. And Visio TVs are terrible for streaming.
I’m floored by all the Coleman hate. Dude has been doing everything this year, game in and game out. He plays with emotion and that’s one of the things that gives him an edge in my opinion. Guys get technicals. It happens. I hope he comes out Sunday the same player we’ve seen all season!

IMO it is a rhythm thing. Probably practiced and working wonders. I hope it is called in a blowout game and not a tight game.

Had Peacock TV Channel on my IPTV. Superb quality with maybe a few glitches here and there during the second half. Superior quality than BTN.

In fact, Brad repeated that to him at least twice more as he was walking towards Coleman.
The post move flops is one of the problems in college basketball - you see it all the time, the offensive player is banging into the chest of the defender and if the defender stands his ground, it's not a foul - if the defender flops to the ground its an offensive foul. The refs are looking for if the offensive player has an unfair advantage from the contact and if the defender is laying on the ground he has to call something - so it's usually an offensive foul
Dain clearly chooses the path to hold his ground, Coleman mostly stands his ground, but sometimes takes a dive, you just need to be a smart defender and know when going to the ground will get you the call. It's not real basketball, but it's a fact on how the game is called - Coleman needs to just wise up to it and start playing the game vs. hating the refs for the way they are calling it
Regarding the T on Hawkins, Bardo mentioned on TV that it was a "reputational foul" based on his overreactions in the past. Nailed it.
on edit: I should know better than to post before I've the entire thread. But if don't . . . SQUIRREL!

Please don't ever read the Game Thread esp the first 15 minutes of this game.
I’ve seen the +/- charts that show Dain is an outlier in a bad way, but I’m hopeful this game gives Brad some more confidence to play him, particularly against low post bangers, particularly when those bangers are killing Coleman inside. He’s a big body so he’s hard to move and has freakishly long arms so he’s tough to score over. Even just 5-10 minutes might be enough to take said banger out of their rhythm and give Coleman a break. Coleman busts his tail fighting for position and that has to be exhausting.
Also, I get the feeling that DGL is getting very close to being an on ball defender who refuses to be screened. Hopefully Brad gets the confidence to throw him in there when a smaller quicker guard is cooking us. Again not saying DGL needs 30 minutes a game, but just a few minutes glued to a guys hip can be enough to take him out of rhythm.
I understand we’ve got a great fastball. But we also have the pieces to make adjustments and throw curveballs when needed. And sometimes a curveball is what you need.

Really? A streaming service is detrimental to society?
Marcus has been so consistently good, whenever he commits a TO, misses a FT, contested layup or one of his patented 10-foot fadeaway jumpers (see NW), I think WTH...
Two years ago I asked a friend and former SIU assistant turned Saluki radio analyst if Marcus could be successful in the B1G. He said surround Marcus with great players and he would blossom even more because every part of his game is so strong and he has the ability to adapt his game even during a game. Man, was he ever right.

This board has so many head scratching hot takes (even after very solid wins), that it makes it sometimes difficult to decipher sarcasm.
I think one of my favorites: "we are nowhere close to a top 50 team right now" after Saturday's ugly game.
Those 2 things stood out to me also. Big improvement from early season.
Love this roster. And am already getting excited for next year. Keep thinking about Harris with a jump shot. He, DGL, Hansberry, TY, Goode and Dain will be a formidable line up along with the incoming freshmen and transfers.

No one is a bigger CoHawk fan than I am. I was delighted when he got teed up last night and Brad sat him. Teachable moment that will pay dividends if he learns to channel his frustration into quiet post-play fury instead of histrionics.
I too am a CoHawk fan. I like how his game has come along late last season and this one. I also see the issues. He goes through periods where he looses his focus. Robbie Hummel even mentioned it a couple times in the Indiana game. You see it all the time when he wants a call. Arms wave, tantrum ... You can call it passion if you want but refs don't see it that way. This technical was building because of his chirping. Hope he learns to show a little frustration and then move on or there will be more T's in his future. Fortunately, this one didn't hurt us. The next one ... I say this, but when he's on, he is a special talent.
Reputation T? Or lifetime achievement? Still, Hawkins is a complete player. Just wish he had Guerrier's on-court demeanor.

A streaming service or multiple streaming service's that allows me the opportunity to get more options for content I want to watch rather than being held back by the cable tv monopoly of years past is NOT detrimental to society or my little niche of society.......
For years I and everyone else had to pay enormous fee's for content that I never viewed or was even interested in....
Anything can be used in a negative way , but I am so old that I remember the big rotor box that turned our UHF and VHF antennas to TRY to capture content we wanted to watch , but were at the mercy of weather conditions and weak signals from tv networks.......
JMHO............
