I think Hayes is the most impressive

it's not even close. his worst dunk was better than every other dunk in the competition. 

[taybo20 2815]

Dylan knows Hayes is the best

[Goo Punch 4275]

hayes back into the contest? best decision of the night. way to go dylan. 

[Goo Punch 4275]

Hayes is ridiiiiiculous. 

[taybo20 2815]

Hayes is ridiculous 

he windmilled from just a bit farther than roach took off

[Goo Punch 4275]

and hayes actually had 90% of his foot behind the line. we have probably the most athletic team we've had since ~2009-2011. 

[kingkoopa6 8316]

yeah, that dunk was sick

[Goo Punch 4275]

would seriously be funny if the hook em mascot was hayes' ex or something. 

[taybo20 2815]

Lowell and Lance comedy show is rough lol

Wait a second, when Michael Jordan was able to dunk taking off at the free throw line, that was like a big deal, right? Like few athletes can do that?

[Goo Punch 4275]

they just said that sims started shooting FTs with his off hand a couple of weeks ago. yikes. 

[Machinator 32097]

 

[Goo Punch 4275]

this just in: roach is still a great in-game dunker.

[Machinator 32097]

[Goo Punch 4275]

good d from ramey.

[Machinator 32097]

 

[Goo Punch 4275]

great looking catch and shoot from roach.

[Goo Punch 4275]

ditto for DO.

Yeah can’t expect good ft shooting from him. He’s looking for anything to work

[Machinator 32097]

 

[Goo Punch 4275]

hamm is impressing so far. he's playing very aggressively and very "big". sims meanwhile has been hidden in the background. I'd like to see him be more assertive.

Ya that is ridiculous.

[Goo Punch 4275]

damn nice drive and finish from eli long. 

[Goo Punch 4275]

seriously cannot help but notice hamm's presence on the floor. very impressed with a guy who, until now, i wasn't expecting anything from him. 

[Goo Punch 4275]

nice drive and finish from liddell.

[Machinator 32097]

 

[Goo Punch 4275]

Hepa is going to be really good his junior and senior years. 

[Machinator 32097]

 

[Cameltoe 114]

Hamm is kicking ass? Yeah, we're deep.

[Goo Punch 4275]

you can see that sims wants to handle the ball on the perimeter, but he's still not ready for that. 

[Goo Punch 4275]

pretty decent team ball movement tonight. 

[Goo Punch 4275]

roach with the two handed block on hayes!

My takeaway is that we have a lot of freaking athletes and I would hate to have to handle all that length...go ahead pun away

[Cameltoe 114]

I can't wait for this season to start, who is our first game?

That was 30 years ago.  Now 6ft high schoolers are hitting their heads on the rim.  Evolution is a muthafucka.

If we don't employ the press at least we 25% of the time or more I'm going to be pissed. Especially when/if Jones gets back to 80% or more.

Evolution takes thousands if not millions of years. The overall population/health/training capacity does improve every year though.

That is why we might not see another Wilt Chamberlain for another 30 years.

American’s grew 3 inches on average from 1896-1996. That’s not millions of years

True, but it's not genetic evolution either. It's improved health understanding and execution.

[Firemans4Horn 17830]

Yeah, and pro athletes have evolved a lot faster than the general population due to weight/speed training, specialist coaches, diet etc... for example back in the 60’s mlb athletes were smoking cigarettes in the dugout.

They've improved, not evolved.

And tobacco still helps you hit a baseball.

You can’t improve your way 3 inches taller on average.

If your stats about that are real, ie a 3 inch taller on average height of every American from 1895 to 1995 then that must be attributed to better health and fewer childhood sicknesses, which makes some sense. It isn't really correct to call it evolution though since evolution as it relates to species is typically defined to be a genetic change occurring over millions of years.

[Catdaddyhorn 3444]

You pedantic son of a gun.  What part of ending the sentence with muthafucka made you think I was putting forth a treatise on modern day theories of evolution?
