Someone e-mail it to him. Why not? If he can see that random bums on the intertubes can get it right, maybe the embarassment will be the wake up call it takes to finally end Ernie's reign of crapiness.
I remember wanting Kanter, but if not available I was torn between Kahwi and Biyombo. Before the draft a video came out of Kahwi working on his jump shot, and I was convinced Kahwi was going to be a good player. His mechanics were fine and if he was the kind of person who would put in time to improve something, then he was an absolute no-brainer. It is unfortunate Ernie is also a no-brainer of a different kind.

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

It would have been a godsend if he was even half as good as Jeffries. That's pretty damn sad.

He needs something like that to come out.
How this dude has a reputation for playing hard while grabbing 5 rebounds in 40 minutes in the Euroleague is beyond me; with those numbers, a reputation for playing hard is arguably a negative as it implies this is the best he can do.
I miss Hoopalotta!

Yea same here. Sad that a prolific poster like Hoop is replaced by posters like milelie and wizardry.

The folks at Monumental are very busy on message boards. I suspect that it is one full-time person who does all "the work"
