You can see the frown on Forbes' face when he realizes students are coming on to the floor.

I hope his brothers Miles, Marshall, and Mason can help him through this.

Chasing the coveted "died while the TV was on" demographic.

Wasn't something he had to deal with when his kid was here.

Dumb question: does net rating calculate quadrants based on the team's standing when you played them, or does it adjust throughout the year based on how that team does? Ex: we beat someone at home when they're ranked 100th, but they end the season at 20 - does that end up as a Q1 win?

Always love checking in on the boards. We beat a preseason ranked team over the weekend and I'm seeing nothing here but weird little pissing contests.

Dark baseball pants are just not a good idea. And good luck with those all-black uniforms during the summer.

I'll add that I love Gakpo, think we needed him in the winter, and think he'll do great, but I think he was at least partially an admission that Nunez and Carvalho weren't giving us the forward play we needed.

Pretty clear that the Liverpool FO last summer thoroughly misunderstood what works in Klopp's system (to be fair, I think Klopp is also occasionally guilty of this). Midfielders who work hard and play physically. Wingers who are powerful, can run in behind, run past people. 9s who can drop in...

I remain worried that we're shaping up to have a real lack of depth on the wing if Bobi leaves, and - though I like him - Forbes hasn't shown enough as a defensive coach to make me believe we can scheme our way out of that. Maybe Sallis and Cam can play down enough to cover it, maybe Clark is...

Big if true

Bobi's a better athlete (twitchier, if not straight-line faster), better defender, and better shooter than Hoard. He has a ceiling as a switchable wing at the NBA level (not a guarantee, but it's not an outrageous projection), whereas Hoard has basically had to play as an undersized 4 when he's...

Bobi's gone. Concerns about wing depth are significantly heightened. To the earlier question about Vecenie - he's very accurate, very good, and other mock-ers and NBA teams listen to him. He's the guy that got the ball rolling on LaRavia as a real prospect...

Luckily, we acted swiftly and only let him coach for two more seasons after Moore and Crawford left.

Just a random note that every NBA draft pick we've had since Chris Paul has been a sophomore (I'm choosing to treat Jake like a sophomore due to COVID and to make this an accurate statement). So, Bobi, there's that.
