What happened when they needed throw strikes but couldn't? You can say they didn't "execute," but you can't compete without executing under pressure.

Gerry, the sticking point is "on command." Do they score more than 80 some of the time? Of course, but they don't score more than 80 every time, especially not against the best competition later in the tournament. Coaches would always like to score as much as possible. That would be "on command."

Title game was called differently than all the other games. That's always the case. Point is, plenty of teams succeeded in the tournament without scoring big. Latest "trends" indicate you need size and defense more than scoring. There's no denying that. That being the case, we need a 4 that can rebound and muscle more than space and shoot. If you can shoot 1-3, that will provide more than enough space.

Maybe we'll catch a break and the game will be canceled today.

The most disappointing thig is that the team just hasn't been ready to compete. First game was close, but literally couldn't throw a strike when needed. Game two was a joke all around. This is not a good sign for the postseason.

Don't want to fire him, but I'm pissed.

If we don't win the natty in football after this we hug ass.

How can we suck this bad?

I just check in. How can we possibly suck this bad

Great stuff. One of my favorite movies of all time.

I'm thinking Kareem was the most unstoppable ever. Yes, in May 2001, Kobe Bryant was arguably playing at the level of the best player in the world,

Yes, Phil Jackson stated that Kobe Bryant worked harder and was more obsessive in his training and preparation than Michael Jordan.

MJ says Kobe is the only player who could possibly beat him one one one.

Two greatest basketball players ever at age 22. Kobe Bryant (Age 22 - 2000-01 Season): Accomplishments: Two-time NBA champion. Performance: During the 2001 playoffs, a 22-year-old Kobe averaged 29.4 PPG, 7.3 RPG, and 6.1 APG, forming the league's most dominant duo with Shaq. Impact: He was already an elite two-way player and a premier scorer, often cited as having no holes in his game. YouTube +4 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (Age 22 - 1969-70 Season): Accomplishments: Had just entered the league, meaning he had 0 championships at age 22. Performance: Kareem (then Lew Alcindor) dominated instantly, averaging 28.8 points and 14.5 rebounds in his rookie season, showcasing the most unstoppable shot in history (skyhook). Impact: He was arguably the best center in the league from day one, bringing a higher level of dominant individual efficiency than Kobe at that same age. Reddit +4

Not until they get another rotational guard. This is an upgrade from Jordan Pope. Lew Alcindor (now Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) is widely considered the greatest college basketball player of all time. This is what Matas needs to think about when he says Arvydas is his favorite player.

Just got a coyote off my back porch at about 180 yds with my Ruger American 6.5 Creedmoor resting on the rail. I think I'll make chili out of him.

Didn't score 80 on demand. Texas didn't score 80 to get the sweet 16 this year.

That's true. I'll bet they had KD and Arch talk to Johnson.

Really good start. Now we need a bruiser 4 player. Contrary to what Gerry says, you ain't gotta score 80 (neither Michigan nor Florida did in the title game), but you must rebound and defend the paint.

I'll believe it when it happens in the next Final Four.

I'll add that while Wenbayama is really good, other players have had better numbers in a tougher league at the same age.

Don't know why the NBA still has an all-defense team. NBA hasn't played defense since the Warriors won their first title in 2015 and the pencil goober offensive efficiency nerds took over. Worst thing that ever happened to basketball in history.

Can't put all your eggs in the Booker basket offensively. Better get some real shooters.
