As soon as Cal is gone Mr. Wildcat Boy will play Mr. Objective Sportswriter and parrot exactly what SAE just said. TMFS. And it's cool. It's fine to acknowledge the good as well as the less than good.
The way Cal tenses up and goes full retard when trying to close games is embarrassing and I don't understand it. He's got the yips or something. Sometimes I just wish he'd go to the locker room and cool his jets while Kenny quietly managed the team with his icy stares.
Like that one game where Cal got tossed and Ullis just ran the show pretty flawlessly. They just balled and controlled the flow of the game like any group of guys that had superior physical talent.

SAE, most people here were Tubby lickers and held on to the last possible second. It is what it is.
Keep up the good work.

Watched a hooker take down a well to do middle aged professional last night at my hotel bar in SF. It was bold but efficient as many of us were watching the interaction. It's pretty universal wherever I go but always interesting to watch play out. Life, enjoy the ride.
He's the best of all time at terrible analogies, I don't care how good some guy in the 1940s was at them -- he's better.
-I've just always assumed that John Salley and J.B. Smoove are the same person.
-Three steals for tonight: Zimmerman, Bentil, and Cat Barber.
-Can't wait to see which pop song ESPN makes me hate by the time the draft ends.
-Time for the now-annual Shane Battier "that's great" clip.

The two guys from Washington, Chriss and Murray...I feel like they've got serious bust potential. I watched Washington and late night Pac-12 Bill Walton enough times that I feel like I should know who these guys are. And I don't. The guy I remember the most from Washington and thought was their best player was Andrew Andrews. Chriss and Murray didn't register. And both are projected lotto?
If Washington had a guy who could coach even a lick...man, that's a sleeping giant program that has no excuse to be as bad as it is.
73... Shut up. You kiss his ass on here 365 & he still gives you non stop shit all of time. Also, great analogy comparing the Tubby Pollyanna's to Cal & his tenure. Solid comp.
Cal deserves some grief for missing on some titles. That's reasonable. But non stop negativity & smarminess about anything and everything regarding the man 100% of the time is ridiculous.

LOLZ at the thought of wcc, Ritchie, et al telling me what's appropriate and what isn't for my UK/Cal humor.
Appreciate everyone's feedback, but I'm going to keep making fun of Cal here and there. Also, please, GFY.

I know it's a perceived big deal, but really, I don't think it is for the team that drafts him. It may be a big deal at the end of his career, when it's shorter than originally expected, but during that rookie contract, and even the next contract, age shouldn't be a factor. In fact, teams will now likely get him for cheaper.
Scouts thinking Thon Maker may be 2-4 years older than he claims to be?
Guy on reddit pretty much proved that he is 22-23

Edit: Looks like they took down the thread. It had a year book photo of Thon alongside other people that are confirmed 23 year olds.
How Erica Sillyass landed Holly Sonders is one of life's mysteries
Shouldn't it be 24/7/52 instead of 24/7/365
More interested in where Tyler goes tonight than Jamal/Skal/Alex

Is Chase for real???
Maker was considered extremely raw at 18 or 19 years old. If he turns out to be 22 or 23, that's a *huge* deal.
That's the same age as Anthony Davis. That's older than Booker or Towns by a ways.
Put it this way -- if he was truly drafted at 18 or 19, by the time he was 22 or 23 he'd be a complete bust and out of the league entirely. So yeah, that's a big deal.

Following along w/ the 'Morning Drive' romances, Brandel Chamblee (53) is engaged to their current host Bailey Mosier (29).
Now, she's not even in the same Galaxy as Sonders, but marcus welby for that old dork.

I really just wanted to give Chad shit, but at this point I'm sticking to my guns. I'm not sure anyone thought Thon Maker was going to be league MVP at any point in his career. He can still develop into a really good player and have a lot of good years even if he's 22.
So, by the time he's pushing 30 you will have a player equivalent to just about anyone else you could pick up in the top 20? Hard to argue that imo
You really think Neon was only 18 or 19 after his only year at Western University? And he turned out just fine.
Based on WHAT?? Wishful thinking?
I'll help you out here....players skills and bodies mature significantly as they age, and their skills peak out around 25-28. When you draft a teen, you're making a somewhat safe assumption his ability and physical tools will follow a normal progression. When he's already gone thru those years, your hope for his game improving lessens with each passing year.
I mean, you're not this gd stupid, are you?
Maker is 2 years away from being the very best he will ever be ever in his entire life. And at this point, he can't really dribble, shoot, pass, defend, or play the game with any competence. That's a big deal.
The post wasn't meant to be specifically about Tubby, but rather the group think that happens with coaches and fans. The sunshine pumpers mainly. Cal is the bee's knees. But he isn't immune to criticism. SAE is just keeping it real. And I appreciate it. He offers a unique perspective.
If he's 23 (and however many days/months), in 5 years he will be "pushing 30." And yes, it takes most "raw" guys that long to get their feet in the NBA. If they ever do
Some dude just tweeted his sources in Perth Australia tell him he is actually 24 years old. ![[laughing]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/laugh.r191677.gif "Laughing [laughing]")

No biggie.

Wonder what Adrian Wojo's pregame routine is before he drops his nuts all over every basketball writer & 'source' in the world tonight on Twitter?
He's silly on draft night.

I mean, I don't know what's so great about being the bee's knees.
I'd rather be the stinger.
