The wolves used to have one guy (Edwards) with sticky hands. Now they have two of the stickiest guys in the NBA, It affects everything. When the ball moves and the players are moving there are more open looks and easy baskets. When the ball sticks things get stagnant and the open looks dry up.

They have all forgotten how to shoot.

Time to revisit Connelly's record. He got one very good year out of Rudy out of the first three, which translated into two playoff series wins. We are tied to Rudy for three seasons after this year as he declines not so gracefully. In exchange we gave up five first round picks and two pick...

Disagree. A lineup is a fragile ecosystem. Sometimes an addition can be a subtraction and sometimes a subtraction can create an addition. Adding Randle and DDV to the mix has hurt the team both ways. Every player's production has fallen off. When KAT was injured last year, Ant, Naz and Rudy...

This is too much fun. However, I'm not going there.

Bakary represented the biggest disconnect I've ever seen between a guy who looked like a ballplayer and a guy who could actually play. When Konate walked on the court he looked like a prototypical basketball player....until he had to do anything basketball related. Anything.

They probably will. Mostly because they aren't the most talented team in the league. However, let's enjoy this. They were supposed to be sub mediocre at best with a caretaker qb at best. Instead, we have witnessed very good to outright excellence week after week. It has been a great ride and...

It looks like Dilly has a decent outside shot. He's very quick. He moves the ball well, though I wouldn't call him an "ooh-ahhh" passer. He gets eaten for lunch by the big fellas when he tries to get to the rim. All in all, it looks like he's got decent offensive skills with upside. His size...

I was at TC tonight. Fairly decent game against a mediocre Lakers game. After years and years of many nights with 3K in the building its fun to see the upper deck substantially full. I recognize that Randle is a good NBA player. I just can't stand his game. He kills ball movement. (Ant...

In a perfect world that's how it would be done. It's not a perfect world.

I am so sorry. Dog death clobbers your soul. I still get choked up when I think about putting our very good boy down four years ago. Ogee is right about getting a new dog quickly and puppyhood being highly overrated. I love our current good boy like I loved the last one and I appreciate...

There are a lot of people on here puffing out their chests about quitting. We have no idea what's going on in his life or in his head. Playing football, especially at that level, hurts like hell. Maybe he reached point where he couldn't take the pain anymore. Who knows...

That criteria is not as relevant in the NIL era where every athlete is a free agent every year. If you don't have the dough, you aren't going to put on a show. Unfortunately, Coyle is way behind in providing the resources necessary for success. We'll never know if CBJ could coach or run a...

I would definitely consider Staley. She can coach, commands respect and would draw a lot of attention to the program. I think both Staley or Reeve would find being pioneers appealing and the NBA isn't ready to take that step yet.

Why not Cheryl Reeve. We know she can coach. We know she commands respect. $2-3M/year is a lot more than she makes now. She's probably bored with the WNBA and is looking for new challenges. It would instantly bring a massive amount of attention to the program, which might bring money and...

Love it! Thanks Bleed and Gopher Lady!

It can also be argued that Sam's attitude is that his performance this year proves how good he really is, so it's time to get paid. Also, I'm sure he's very happy to be a Viking. I'm equally sure that he's tired of hearing that the reason he's producing is because of KOC. Guys who lack...

I would have put the Lions on the luck-o-meter.

Money doesn’t buy happiness but it does buy freedom, especially freedom from worry. Also, professional athletes generally have big egos. If there’s another qb making $30M and you have comparable numbers, you want the validation of a comparable contract.

Agreed. For those people who think the money will flow for the next coach, no established coach will come because the money hasn't been raised to pay the players. That means Coyle or his successor will have to take another big chance. Maybe it will work.
