LaGerald hasn't missed?
2 makes Frank look like the Hulk.
Good rip Carlton!
@Crimsonorblue22 lol did he appreciate that?
BIDG!
Remember when they said Carlton gained 20 lbs or whatever? Did he lose it all? Dude's still a beanpole.
@Crimsonorblue22 Coleby has sticky hands. Getting up today too! Looking good Dwight.
Hey I'll take a "quiet" 5 for 5 from three... Go Frank!
@dylans :100:
Thanks for the heads up on the PGs who might be drafted ahead of Jackson by Philly. I didn't know much about them, so found some info that helped me have some perspective http://www.libertyballers.com/2016/8/27/12670104/2017-prospect-point-guard-markelle-fultz-dennis-smith-lonzo-ball-frank-ntilikina ↗
To me, there still sound like too many risks with these guys. Jackson has proved himself to be capable of elite 2 way play, with the only question being his jumpshot form (but to date, results have been good) and he is a very gifted facilitator. I dont doubt you're right that Philly might go with a PG but for a team who has drafted on best available talent for half a decade, this would seem to be Colangelos signature departure from "trust the process" were he to draft someone over Josh. Seems if an elite PG were available in free agency they'd salivate over the potential of playing with savants likes Simmons JJ and Embiid.
Wow! And Javale Mcgee is actually playing decent basketball this year apparently? Also, wow! Get Rekt, Javale!
@drgnslayr great post! I share your optimism and 'm happy we have such a fun team to watch! It feels like a mash up of 2007-2008 and 2013-2014. We get to experience both the efficiency of a veteran championship caliber backcourt and the growth of a freshman couple future leaguers in and around the paint. How lucky are we?
@dylans only the youtube plugin is currently installed. for youtube, just paste the link. otherwise, no.
@jaybate-1.0 lol well in the past I blocked IPs on the server when we got spammed. I haven't done that this time. I should. I had hoped they would just go away, but I know the world doesn't work that way, sadly.
@jaybate-1.0 with you. Mind blown that Young couldn't hit 1 of 3
We feel deeper with Bragg and Lucas coming off the bench. Vick and Udoka earned another start.
@Red_Rooster ha! happy you're back
Ill Mitch!
Satisfying the KU faithful's bloodlust by laying waste to a mediocre team with vicious efficiency. Keep it up!
RIP DUNK
Oh hell yea! A front court!
Appreciated Doke got his own rebound on other side of rim from where he missed that. Thats a big boy.moving well!
BOOM!
That was the most uncoordinated garbage offensive flop I've seen this season. I think Bragg should take @BeddieKU23 advice and flop defensively there too. Would make for good soccer.
Carlton is gonna figure it out tonight.
This is a good game to let our bigs play through their mistakes. Let's go guys. Cmon Landen!
There we go. So Doke gets the hook with no fouls. Either he's gased already or else this was mostly an exercise in motivating Bragg and Lucas.
@Bwag ...and the midseason regression back to last year's officiating standards has begun.
Wow nice move Vick
Alright Doke, looks like you're the feature player tonight. Dig it.
Here we goooo. How long until Udoka sits with two fouls? I'll go with at the 13 minute mark first half.
Wow!
Are you trying to bring up our Turkey day feast? Please Bill, no.
@globaljaybird Well, not that I trust ESPN at all, and often it's pretty clear they don't care if they REPORT the news or just say whatever they want and MAKE the news, but this is from the article:
Texas president Gregory Fenves' preference has been to keep Strong, sources told ESPN's Mark Schlabach, and the odds of Strong returning for a fourth season are expected to increase dramatically if Herman is no longer available. The Longhorns need to beat TCU on Friday to finish 6-6 and become bowl-eligible.
What a trainwreck the boosters and Texas athletic dept have made out of this.
@JayHawkFanToo he'll be 21 Dec 14th. Could have gone.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Hope you guys have a warm, well fed, beloved and happy day, and don't fret too much about our frontcourt.
Udoka Bragg and Lucas could all take a page from what Coleby did last night. Bragg and Lucas need to find a way to impact the game when their rebounds aren't coming and their baseline jumper isn't falling, respectively. And Udoka just needs to be a mental sponge in practice.
@jaybate-1.0 I can't tell if you're joking or not, this whole time.
@jaybate-1.0 Mario made a comment that the 2007-8 team was more talented. I can agree in the front court but in the back court I'm not so sure. Sorry Mario!
Yante Matten isn't going to have to use that Wildlife Mgmt degree. Pro.
@BeddieKU23 self is going to have to take some sedatives to sleep tonight.
@kjayhawks Agreed. Tarik -> Embiid = Coleby -> Doke
self pass ref.
Every time I think we're going to make a run something halts the action, like the Devonte face rake. This is a grinding game, but given the late tip time, the second game of a back to back, playing mostly zone, it's designed to be a grinding game.
Obviously Carlton has been bad, Lucas has been worse, and Doke has been I don't know what. But the perimeter has been decent on O, and Coleby has been a mini revelation. This game might be meaningful yet.
Alright, glad for Coleby this game. Meaningful minutes, making his impact on a lot of possessions.
@brooksmd Was wondering the same thing. Thought maybe he was watching the other ref make the call?
Way to fight at the rim Vick.
red does not look like white? What's up Coleby? Breathe man.
