Well maybe the counter position is that if we start small and it doesn't work we are toast with Dave playing this poorly. He isn't looking like a "spark off the bench" guy. Who will that be? Dave got 1 foul yesterday. If he comes off the bench, I expect that number should be more like 4 with 3 less layups by Kentucky.

Duke shot 32.3% and they have 5 mcd all Americans. Glad we only have 2

Missing 47 shots still seems ugly
True. But we outscored the cats by 10 with the right dudes. Guarding makes everything prettier.
The small ball lineup continues to be fun to watch, efficient. I don't think of this as ugly
Niiiiceee
These 5. These 5.
@Kcmatt7 he's a loser.
Watching Dave play through suckage under Self is like working a state job with an incompetent coworker you know can't get fired.
Dick thinks Dave sucks.

@approxinfinity define play
I mean even throwing trash in a trashcan would count. I'm not picky.
Did Dave play basketball for the last 8 months?
Let's blow this F'er open and seal the deal.
These 5 forever. Maybe Bill is getting warm to the idea.

Enaruna?
Enaruna is CJ Giles. All the physical talents in the world....capable...just doesn't give an eff bomb
I was thinking Bragg. But he can shoot the 3. He just seems slow/too big this year.
We aren't giving this lead up if we score next.

I was told Dave would do better and that Gonzaga’s front court was sooo good Dave would play better and we wouldn’t see a better front couet
Is that Milton from Office space? I'm going to burn the building down.
Is Dave spastic because he used to need more force to move around his body?
If Dave is our high scorer we might be competitive in baseball
Got a nice Pic of Calamari with his mask down.
There we go. Got 3rd on sarr. Now go 5 guards.
Sarr will be back otherwise I would say Thompson instead of Wilson. Front everything. If he gets the ball, rip or foul. Try to foul him up on the other end. They can't shoot FTs. Let's focus on dictating the rest of the game, win or lose
Harris / Marcus / Braun / Agbaji / Wilson please.
Is this vitals 7th year at Baylor?
Didn't lose audio here.
@jayballer67 yes pls. I don't want to start the second with Dave on and drop about 6-10 pts
Braun may be a better handler than Marcus. Also Thompson.
Marcus isn't a great ball handler. I don't think that's going to change.
I'm ready for 5 guards the whole way this season. I'd rather watch a fun team that competes even if we give up size.
@jayballer67 I mean, yeah, but they have gotten whatever they want down low. Unfortunately stopping them down low with this personnel feels like a fantasy.
Lorraine is at the wet bar drinking scotch from the bottle because of you Dick
Wow so that's what a midrange game looks like. I thought you HAD to drive into the footers every time
Eye of da sumo and coffee cockburn
@bmensch1 those tests aren't 100%. We just played two teams who have positives. In any other settings the person would be in quarantine.
But I'm game for pretending it isn't stupid for the remainder of this chat.
Marcus shouldn't be playing. He will test positive tomorrow. Calling him a hero is stupid.
Absolutely let's dictate tempo
I like this lineup
Wilson is bad. Bad. Bad.
@DanR said in Calamari Game Thread:
Jalen Wilson would lose to both of them
@bmensch1 said in Calamari Game Thread:
Big Dave may have 9" vertical jump. I wonder who would lose a vertical jumping contest between him and dedric
Wilson has not played well. 2 bigs just meant we got dominated by better bigs.
Just want Harris
Richmond shredded this defense
These Kentucky freshmen are predictable.
Can we shoot some 2s until we warm up? Only Braun and Agbaji should shoot 3s. And I want to see some Harris :crossed_fingers: can't be handing the ball over at half court.
Max sighting! You're my boy blue!
@DanR wow! The kid looked unstoppable. So many buckets.
@wissox TBH I'm mostly living in the present atm. I think it's healthy for us to look back as much as we can and preserve the continuity, it's just hard. Also, I wasn't watching KU much during the Pierce years but I've always been curious. Feels like we've talked at length about Wilt and Manning but my frame of reference on Pierce is a few clips.
@wissox I never thought about Doke missing out on college HOF by missing the post season. Thank you for the added dimension to my sadness. Just kidding. I think our next HOFer will be ol' 5 year Christian Braun. ;)
How fun is watching a surgeon operate? Gross!
@Kcmatt7 you nailed it.
I'm so annoyed by coaches pulling down their masks to yell. I think I'm going to create a twitter handle to upload all pics of coaches pulling down their masks to yell and hopefully embarass them into a little better behavior. I know it can be a pain in the ass to add a pic from a phone on here, but if anyone wants to contribute pics here I'll add them to the twitter and publicly shame people.
