Kansas State Basketball is hard / Re: JHR

still an outside chance he ends up with a roy hibbert like senior year.  would be amazing obviously.


I'll only list 1 reason that this has absolutely no chance of happening, although we could probably come up with a long list...

His hands!

Why do you keep acting like he has terrible hands?  Jesus Christ, they're average for a big, see some goddamn shades of gray dude.  He doesn't drop everything he touches, he has 15 rough ridin' turnovers in 27 games.  And again hands can be developed.

p ellis & q buchanen PAK together

Also LOL @ body language analysis. Someone should debunk that bullshit.

He's always like that, always.  WTF do people want to see him acting like he's at Def Comedy Jam or some crap, he's watching a damn basketball game.

BTW he didn't go to Big Monday because he had a game the next day.  Generally frowned upon to be on the road at 1AM when you have school at 8AM and a game that night, idiots.

Seems like putting your post player (JO) in the high post position would make sense here.

Also seems like having someone that can actually hold on to the ball in rebounding situations would make sense as well. Grudz hasn't been doing much in this offense. I've seen JO lose some rebounds and have a phenomenal dunk. I've seen Rodney have a similar dunk with two hands last year. Having JO on one side would take away a big man from one side of the court and that would open up the lane for drives on the opposing side. JO does being tall the best.

I'm not saying this makes conventional sense, but when JO is our only big on the court, I'd rather have our best offensive rebounder near the basket. I'm not saying my plan is bullet proof. It's just an idea.

So you think it's more valuable to put a jump shooter on the high post because he had a tip dunk once?  I don't know why people want to make Rodney something he isn't.

I will totally own up to driving the JHR hatewagon. It got a flat tire, spun out of control, and careened into a ditch last night.

Then exploded after JHR's dunk.

Never ever hated Jake.

I'm kind of hurt that I haven't gotten 'grats for being the driver of the JHR bandwagon.  

It's because I'm the driver and you are riding shotgun.

I fell in love with jake again tonight.... make a tbs movie out of that cac.


(no homo)

rough ridin' idiot...
eff you. I'm owning it.  Jake came back to me. 

Oh eff off. You do not deserve admiration for being a dumbshit. You suck.
dude if you can't see the polar opposites between his last 2 games you are an idiot.  He did EVERYthing right last night.  He had a crap game against CU on all levels.  He proved that he can be a top tier player in CBB last night.  He had a great game and made everyone around him better.  Amazing performance.

Your flip flopping makes me want to beat your ass even more, you can't call a man a pussy and then suck his dick 48 hours later.  You're a piece of crap.

he's the same or better in just about every stat you can find, except 3 pt%.  probably a little reversion to the mean & a little throwing up 3s late in the clock after his teammates fail to do anything.

At some point people will get this.  I don't mean morons either.  There are a lot of smart people who can't read a stat sheet.

jamar and frank look like bigtime pussies, imo.

Sports fans are way too protected.  Someone being exceptional at a sport shouldn't give some pimple faced loser license to say some cac they would never say if the person was walking down the street.  The irony is that if you or this dude who was talking cac saw a dude who looked like Jamar walking down the street you wouldn't even look him in the eye out of fear.  However, sitting in the bleachers gives people amazing courage.  One day an athlete is going to break someones face, fans and media will have outrage, I'll think it is funny as eff.

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gameon/post/2011/02/lebron-james-confronts-heckler-who-insulted-his-mother-nba-miami-heat-detroit-piston/1

If Lebron would have hit him he would have been my favorite athlete ever.  It seems like we need another Charles Barkley to remind you people to keep your mouths shut about calling people pussies and talking about peoples mothers.


Does this go for sportswriters too?  I've been pretty rough on Kellis and was responsible for the infamous Lemon Party remark that the whole joint heard...I'd say it to his face though.  Clarify a bit here for me...

"I'd say it to his face though."

That's the key.  Getting personal with someone while they are on the court/at work is very unfair.  If you wouldn't say it to them in a bar, you shouldn't say it at all. It's also important to note the difference between talking crap and getting personal as evidenced in the Lebron James article.  People talk crap to him every single night, if you talk about a man's mother rough ridin' another dude, I hope you're ready to fight.  There are things you can and can't say and I am pretty sure most know where those lines are, if you don't you probably shouldn't say crap. If I were standing next to Scary Smart and one of those dumb fucks decided to come up, I'd probably laugh when SS got his orbital bone broken and then take him out for a beer after he got out of the hospital and tell him not to be a bitch and sue.  When guys talk crap on the court it is nothing like that, its why dudes can shake hands after the game without going to blows.  What it comes down to is most herbs in the stance have no idea how to talk crap.

I've crossed the line twice and it was in the same game.  At home versus KU, January 1997, my first KU game.  I called Paul Pierce a pussy and a rough ridin' crybaby, he was literally crying tears when he picked up his fourth foul late in the game where Shawn Rhodes rimmed out a half court shot that would have sent the game to overtime.  I firmly believe then and now that I could beat his ass.  That same game I called Scot Pollard's girlfriend a dirty whore, but she started talking crap first.  If he confronted me on that I'm not sure if I would have apologized or taken the ass beating, but I was definitely out of line.

I've been asked at least half a dozen times about how I have been influenced by Tiger Woods. 

How many hilarious responses do you have cued up?
Any of them ask you post sex scandal? Could provide quite a few  :emawkid: moments.

That's what I was thinking.  MIR could go into a long rant about how he's modded his phone so he can discreetly text all his bitches or something.

I was dealing with a torn rotator cuff last golf season so only got to play 5 times and no questions about Eldrick then.  Times I was asked before I wanted to inform them that we were actually allowed to play golf before 1996, but I just tell them that I am the same age as Tiger and I started playing for fun in high school at the Golden Locket in GC.  The golf course isn't the best time to reinforce negative stereotypes.  


BTW what do you guys think about joining up with slower groups you catch up with on the course?  I obviously hate doing it.  It used to be awkward telling guys no, now I have done it enough that I don't feel bad at all.

The snow is melting, which got me to thinking about golf, which got me to thinking about playing golf, which got me to thinking about what makes me most nervous about golf: Playing w/ people you've never played with before.

Anybody else hate this? The idea of having to "prove" yourself to somebody new is just so annoying/uncomfortable. The first tee is the ultimate first impression; duff it or slice it and the walk to your ball is miserable. Your playing partners think you are awful, which you very well might be. But maybe not. You might go on to shoot 75.

I am a decent player, but I pretty much always downplay my ability anytime I play with someone new. Then I end up having no confidence and I play like a total schmuck.

Golf ... what a crazy game sport.

It's worse when you are playing a white man's game and you don't want to embarrass your race.  Even the most well intentioned withe dude says something to really make me uncomfortable.  I've been asked at least half a dozen times about how I have been influenced by Tiger Woods.  

As for the first tee thing, several times I have told myself that I am going to hit an iron off of the first tee to minimize embarrassment.  I did it once, the first time I played at Sand Creek Station, a group of six BTW and I knew one other guy.  I laced a 5 iron, still felt stupid.

Also why do guys like me who shoot in the 80's and 90's play the tips?  I hate that crap, I don't get paid to play golf, what the eff do I have to prove?

KU doesn't really have a PG. They have an incredible frontcourt.

We'd be 4 games better with either Taylor or Selby.  KU hasn't appeared to have a dominant PG under Self but that is more of a product of the depth of talent and the system and not a reality of them not having a true point guard.

I didn't say we wouldn't be better with their backcourt, but they technically "win without a point guard."


Did you stop reading after the first sentence because I addressed this point in the second sentence.

I don't think our problem on offense isn't "point guard", it's a lack of backcourt players that can score.

IMHO the lack of a point guard is the reason the front court has underachieved, and why Jake's 3 point percentage is way down.  I actually think we have enough scorers.  Jake, Rodney, and a combo of Curtis and Jamar is enough, the problem is Jake is expected to be the lead scorer and the facilitator.  He's not that dude.

He's the best on this team, by a long long long way.

= tallest midget. There ARE no good distributors on this team.

HOLY eff KOUGAR :goodbyecruelworld:  Of goddamn course that's the issue, once again no one has claimed the alternative.  Even the effing idiots like ednksu knows there are no point guards on this team.  Go to bed man.


you and chum1 have a weird thing going tonight were you pick an argument and then your argument is the exact same thing as the argument of the poster you're arguing with.

chum1 likes that kind of humor.  i dunno what you're getting out of it.

So, if your whole point was that Pullen is the "best player" on the team as opposed to McG, I'm ok with that. If it was that McG will struggle next year without Pullen, I disagree.

That better?

Much better, and for the record I don't think Rodney will be horrible next year.  His role will be different, and he will get better with the ball.

there were a ton of good looks.  it was definitely a missed shot night, not a offensive clustereff night.

don't you think cu could say the same though comparo to what they usually do? how was burks tonight? am i wrong here?

i wouldn't think so.  i'd guess that a cu fan (if they had lost) would complain about his team not oboarding and committing unforced turnovers.  and either blaming the refs or blaming his team for not driving/posting up more.

but i dunno.  it's hard trying to see things from someone else's viewpoint.  maybe they'd just bitch about the four missed fts.

i dunno. it's just frustrating. i'm usually on board w/ the "shots just didn't fall" stuff, but tonight i'm just not. whatever. i'm sure you guys are prob right.


I'm still waiting for the alternative argument for tonight's loss other than "the shots didn't fall."  "We are a bad offensive basketball team," is for all intents and purposes the same thing.  The end result of good offense are shots going into the basket.

i mean, maybe we should've been swept by cu. maybe they are just better than us.

We have to believe this to be true.  It seems we have a pretty small margin for error.

Then that's still plenty cause for a full-on meltdown. I mean, for eff's sake. Tell your October 2010 self that we were going to get swept by CU.

I had one meltdown and it was ugly, I'm good now.  I've been in "it is what it is" mode for a while.  I still get my hopes up but the comedown is easy.

question(s). Does being a Senior give you special powers? Make you play better? Give you a statistical advantage?

Obviously.

Energy and LuCo were the the best players last year.  CU's seniors are awesome too, clearly their best players.

Of course McG is just a effing jumpshooter. Hint: it's ok to have those on your team. We don't need him to create his own shot. We need a guard who can break a defense down and create shots for others (like McG).

Serious question.  Are you a effin' idiot?  I said Rodney would be much less efficient without Jake relieving pressure off of him and you had a seizure disagreeing with me?  Jake IS the guard breaking down defenses creating for Rodney's shot.  That's what I effing said Lacey.  Goddamn

One problem: Jake isn't good at creating shots for others. He's ok at creating shots for himself, but he'll never be mistaken for a great distributor.

Weren't McG's best games during Jake's suspension?

He's the best on this team, by a long long long way.  You aren't playing devils advocate, you're just obtuse. 

As already pointed out, out of Rodney's 7 highest scoring game, one his best one came while Jake was gone.  He hit 7 three pointers against UMKC.
