Todays performance by Early was incredibly impressive. As Raftery would say "ONIONS!!!" . One of the better clutch performances I can remember in the tournament, have to give Kentucky a lot of credit for being able to battle and win. My bracket is in shreds.

Congrats.

Maybe I should talk more **** about the Twins. It seems to make them play better lol

You and me both. It seems that everyone has turned the corner. I think we could do it this year.

This week will be awful because we are playing Louisville.

You already beat Louisville this year though, the guys must be confident.

That's what I'm afraid of.

LOL funny how everybody talking about Cleanthony Early, he's been doing this for 2 years y'all late to the party. The NCAA did Witicha St dirty they had the hardest road to the championship no way Louisville is a 4.

You should have posted your big board, so we could see that you were 1st on the Cleanthony bandwagon.

Wiggins and Parkerwill be good pros eventually but they have to learn the game. When your not having your A game, you have to learn how to win. And most of these do t know how to win without their best stuff. Sort of like starting pitchers when they are young. Great arm and no brain. Then something clicks and the game itself becomes easy.

Nah they should go pro and learn how to play while getting paid millions of dollars.

And in the meantime the NBA suffers along with the fans . And the bad franchises that need immediate help then have to hope and wait to see that the 20m they are investing into their pick might actually help them. Picks today are crap shoots anymore. One and dones are not what the NBA should be about, along with college.

Don't know that I would take him at 10, but there absolutely is a chance Anderson will be a lottery pick, and zero chance you could get him in the 20's as you asserted earlier.

I would take Jusuf Nurkic before I would take Kyle Anderson

Oh ok it originally sounded like you were talking about it from the player's perspective.

Why? It's much easier to just say "I told you so!"

Yes I think he will be the better player and would complement Noel nicely...and I'm assuming

Wiggins Embiid Randle Exum Parker smart Vonleh and Gordon would be gone....making him the best prospect left

Since when is exclaiming a player is good being "late to the party"? He had an outstanding game today. Best of his career.

You're clueless if you think that Kansas is losing because of Bill Self. And I've acknowledged that this is only 1 game, but it matters. You are clearly blinded with pro-Wiggins love so it doesn't matter anyway

I guess you're right and I'm clueless along with every guy on CBS's panel who said Kansas didn't attack the 1-3-1 correctly or make any adjustments during the game.

Nobody questioned Kansas' inability to attack the zone. And saying that Kansas didn't make any adjustments is idiotic because they clearly switched up their defense on several occasions and even went to the full court press at the end. But your initial claim that Self lost them the game is just as stupid as it was when you first made it. Did Bill Self also make Wiggins miss those jumpers and turn the ball over when he tried to drive? Maybe Bill Self put a witch curse on the golden boy, it's the only logical explanation

1.Get a clue. When I'm talking about making adjustments, I'm talking about on offense. Did you watch the game? Their offense was horrid against thay zone. Its like they never played against a 1-3-1 zone ever. Any adjustment Self made was 30+ minutes too late. Everybody that played the game on the CBS postgame said so after I was on here saying it. I'll take their opinion over yours. That's just the way it goes.

2. I want what's best for Philly, but for some reason you're taking pot shots against Wiggins for some reason. "Golden boy"? Really? Lame bro. And what jumpers are you talking about Wiggins missing? Kid took 6 shots the whole game and at least 2 were in the paint. 6 shots. He took like 3 jumpers the whole game. Any criticism shouldn't be about the 3 missed jumpers the whole game, but why he was so passive and only took 6 shots.

Yeah, maybe I should cause you can clearly tell most people on this board watch a few college games a year and have no clue about basketball for example all this Jabari Parker talk about him being a bad athlete.

Where's all that McDermott love Fest from the ppl bashing wiggins earlier?

Negrodamus · Post #3237 » by **Negrodamus** » Mon Mar 24, 2014 1:44 am

Kyle Anderson update: 15 pts, 8 rebs, 5 ast

Applications for the bandwagon are next to the door as you exit.

This tweet confirms what the level headed posters have been saying.

@ChrisMannixSI
NBA execs aren't overreacting to clunkers submitted by Wiggins, Parker, McDermott. Texts I'm getting say they will have little to no impact

Has the size to play SF, and is one of the best college passers you'll ever see. I like him a lot but none of us knows what Hinkie wants. I would bet Capela fits his mold before someone like Nirkuc...

He's also willing this UCLA team to victory every game. To me, it's a no brainer that he will be, at the very least, serviceable in the NBA.
