  1. Holy shit, Devers press conference today was 🔥. Reporter 1 - "If they asked you to DH, you wouldn't do it." Devers - "No." Reporter 2 - "Can you expound on that?" Devers - "I play third." Yeah, this is going to be a disaster.
  2. Pretty sure he lives year round in Memorial. I met him once at the Kroger of the Villages buying avocados.
  3. Don't forget the desparation 3 that their big hit in the 1st half. Outside of those two and the other 3 at the end of the game, Kentucky shot 3-21 during non garabage time. I think the problem I really have with Terry is that this team is just so bad at defense and especially defensive rebounding.
  4. Man, watching that game last night was interesting. I had no emotional tie to the outcome, but it was enjoyable none the less. There is so much bad on this Texas team, especially when Kaluma is out and no one is making any shots outside of Johnson. At least, Mark showed up tonight. If he could be that consistent 2nd scorer, we'd likely be over .500 in conference right now. Still, the biggest issue on this team was Williams throwing every Texas player out of his way for offensive rebound after offensive rebound. I don't understand how Onyema is just so fundamentally stupid at basketball, he had no idea what he was doing on the court last night, but still managed 4 and 5, which is something because Texas won by 4 and that was the most defensive rebounds for the team. Also, Julian Larry has become almost unplayable, just think the level of athleticism needed to play guard in the SEC is something he's not capable of delivering. I was wrong about him, and would like to see Weaver get those minutes back, while he's a below average offensive player, Weaver has SEC level athleticitism. More Pryor and Codie. they also have SEC level athleticism.
  5. My guess is he has a one year bounce back, opts out, gets the big contract, and then is a negative for the team that gives to him. I do find it hilarious that he refused to take a paycut on paper for this season from the Astros, then takes a huge one from the Red Sox in terms of 2025 dollars.
  6. According to spotrac, Bregman's LT is $31,705,000 for this season. So, $20M is deferred but $11M and change still count against the tax, even though he is taking in $20M this season to real salary.
  7. Yaz would be a very good strong side platoon in LF or RF. Just straight up platoon the OF. Gamel, Trammel, Yaz Dezenzo, Meyers, McCormick until one of them show they can be an everyday OF.
  8. Nate Williams and Aaron Holiday to the rescue.
  9. No worries, he's putting up another solid performance tonight for you guys that bought his "hot streak" a few games ago.
  10. Yeah, because we kept him in the minors for two extra years. He had 8.6 WAR, including the 2020 season, which would have been part of his free agent years, His best season of his career would have been his 1st season as a FA, and that was with him missing 40 games.
  11. That didn't stop Sarkisian the last time. Choice had left GT for USC before Sarkisian rerouted him to Austin.
  12. The cheating scandal didn't hurt, but Springer was super pissed at the organization for playing with his service time. There really was no reason to keep Springer in the minors in 2013 or 2014, he was ready for a fulltime roll after his 2012 MiLB season.
  13. Amen had a triple double tonight. On the other hand, Year 1 FG% : 42.6% 2FG% : 50.2% 3FG% : 34.3% EFG% : 50.8% TS% : 54.7% Year 4 FG% : 42.6% 2FG% : 49.2% 3FG% : 34.8% EFG% : 50.6% TS% : 54.8%
  14. Devers is one of the worst defensive 3B in baseball. Bregman will likely be one of the worst defensive 2B in baseball during his transition, then you add in one of the worst defensive 1B in Casas and a returning Story who is coming off shoulder surgery. Yikes to the pitching staff in Boston.
  15. 4-8 in conference, this team isn't going to the NCAAT. Terry got his chance, and he blew it.
  16. He hasn't played at all this season due to personal reasons. He's not going to play here either, the Rockets traded for the salary to get a fucking 2nd round pick. Stone is just a fucking nobody pretending to be a GM. Just like Jalen Green is a nobody pretending to be a star player. Both need to get gone for the franchise to take the next step forward.
  17. Holy shit, I am looking at the UConn box score now. Marquette had 9 defensive rebounds for the game, but 17 offensive rebounds. So, they forced 25 TOs and grabbed 17 ORs ending up with 21 more shot attempts and 3 more FT attempts and it was a three possesion game. Holy fuck. Did Marquette just stop playing defense once UConn made it past the half court?
  18. I would be more concerned about that age gap, not so much the years, but a nearly 30-year old man should have little in common with a sophomore in college.
  19. Jalen Green doing Jalen Green things, just fucking hilarious anyone buys him at this point. He is the anchor weighing this team down.
  20. We need real backups at PG, SG, and C, it is not freaking out to see what is painfully obvious.
  21. I don't know. We had 22 votes last week in the AP poll, we go 1-1, barely losing to a Top 25 team on the road and blowing out another team on the road and now we get 1 vote this week. If Texas can some how get to 10-8 in this conference, we should be a 6-7 seed.
  22. Devon Pryor is starting to get a lot of minutes, and he's been really good. Gerry said before the season, he was the #2 guy on the roster as far as NBA potential goes. I just don't see how Weaver gets on the court when he gets healthy now with Pryor's emergence. He's a great hustler, but his basketball skill has increased. Wouldn't be shocked if Weaver goes back down to the G5 level where his current skillset is a better match.
  23. I remember going to the Hideout in 2008-2009.
  24. One of the supposed insider on clutchfans thinks we do, but codman thinks it's cute to speak using Higdonisms.
  25. Lolwut? This is reference to the Harden trade when OKC got a "ransom" from the Rockets according to some poster on this site. If you replace Dallas with OKC and Houston with LA, you have the exact post.
