Early on this season

Even though I was extremely guarded because of the schedule … there were things I liked besides the shallow wins.

The defense was good for the most part, especially with forcing so many turnovers. They were weaker in other defensive areas, but the turnovers did stand out. Granted, as I mention at the time, consider the opposition because this team did lose to a bad Canada team in an exhibition over the summer, so you knew there’d be issues.

The offense has always been shit.

But early, they forced turnovers, they hit free throws and they finished games well. I’m talking early. Typically, that’s a good foundation in spite of any flaws you may have. That keeps you in games, that wins games. But that hasn’t remained.

They’re finishing horribly now. Offensively, they are soooooo damn inconsistent and without confidence that it’s not mattering even if the defense were strong.

I don’t know if those primary strengths have faded because we are in the throes of conference play and people have us completely figured out or if it’s because we had too many weak early opponents that it pushed us into a false sense of security … or if the mental weakness of this team is at an unbelievable level.

Whatever it is, it’s about as ugly as it gets.

With how we looked vs SJSU, what is everyones predictions for the rest of the season?

This was a terrible loss and l think we are in big trouble after tonight. We all know that Parquet being out really hurts, but we cant rebound, have no true PG, and have no depth. I really think CKK needs to give spot minutes to Jones, Hall, and Nowell. At least we know Jones will fight hard on the boards, maybe Hall can give us an offensive spark, and maybe Nowell will defend. Something needs to change fast. And is there an update on Cottrell?

OT - not enough money to ever fix some athletes!

When a NHL player makes more money in one year than most make in a lifetime, how can they be so stupid to go $50 million into debt? Spent $1.2 million on rare snakes?

Finishing close games

Of our 6 losses, only two were convincing. For the other 4, we had a lead within the three-minute mark and couldn't finish. (Admittedly we had another close game we won against Wa. State. Ahead by 10 with six min left and won by 4).

I'm not sure if it's end-of-game coaching or just not quite enough talent. I am sure if we won those close games, we'd have two losses. That would mean top 30's NET and we'd be talking about post-season possibilities.

It's to the point that if it's close at the end, fans know the team is going to lose. They just don't know how.

OT: Kruger to the SEC


The dude is already talking to himself as he is being handcuffed. Probably done a shit load of weed..

Jeeeeesus, the guy was given a full ride scholarship to put a ball in a 10 foot hoop.

What do “I” think about “black” athletes?

Looks directly at @Ogami8888

It depends on the person and situation. There’s a shit load tons of kids in Las Vegas

I don’t know people unless I sit down and have a conversation with them.
Some are raised by their dads and others aren’t. In 2023..kids and I mean high school even through college.

I’ve talked to black kids at UNLV. They are still just THAT, kids. A lot of millennials or gen whatever these days that they are labeled as.

They are VERY respectful, well spoken and educated. They know how to talk to someone and are mindful of what they say.

I still interact and talk to people because that’s just who I am.

Take for example, Gervonta Davis. I absolutely love that guy in the ring. During his post fight interview, he is a mix of “punch drunk” and pure cave man. He sounds pretty much retarded.I f’n love it. However, he keeps on doing shitty stuff to get arrested.

It all depends on the person.

And having said that, I’d have to sit down with them one on one and pick at their brain.

I have a tendency to stereotype people when I’m on the streets. You absolutely HAVE to or you will be a target.

And what am I? I’m Asian so people on the streets already see me as an easy target. And guess what, I usually am.

That’s just the way it is..

While you are entitled to your opinion as a coach, I’m entitled to mine as well.

I don’t speak for Joe or any other mod on this board. I speak purely for myself.

I’m not going to delete your posts. I absolutely believe in free speech.

Peace out mother****er.
