    UCLA wins 85-75 (it was a bigger lead until the walk-ons blew it against Cal's walk-ons). Mata went 8/9 in FTs :shock: (again, shooting 31% on the season). Shipp had a huge game again (22 points), it looks like he and Mbah a Moute are completely healthy at the right time. Up next, Stanford at Pauley (revenge!) and then the showdown against Wazzou in Pullman, Washington. ETA: Oregon beats WSU so UCLA now has a 2-game lead on WSU with 3 games left in the conference.

    Calvin and Hobbes? Yes. Awesome. Definitely is.
  3. CaliforniaRaisin
    Washington loses to Oregon Freaking State. Stick a fork in them. I know the guard play has been bad (especially Dentmon and Oliver), but this has been a dissapointing season for U-Dub.

    UCLA up 35-34 at the half against Cal. Lorenzo Mata (31% FT shooter) is 6 for his last 6! Amusing exchange between the announcers: Roberts: He's [some Cal player] not going to give you much on offense but he's a great guy to have on your team. MacLean: Is that like saying a girl has a great personality?

    DirecTV channel 609 Nice, I didn't know I got ESPNU. you must be paying for it because I don't get it Nah, we don't pay for it (huzzah for my mom for getting the sports and movie package for free thanks to her work). :D

    Depends on why he had the bad spring (injury, couldn't locate his offspeed because it's AZ or what). I think he deserves quite some leeway after his second half last season.
  7. CaliforniaRaisin
    Looks like he might play both SS and 3B at Salt Lake City this season. He's gonna end up at third base at the big leagues, imo.

    Nice win, Ben Wallace had a huge game. Gotta agree with Mark_R. I really would like to see TT get some time in the game, I thought he had gotten into Skiles' good graces at the end of the first half but I guess not. Thabo at least got a few minutes, but come on. Flames, it looked like Hughes was trying to foul at the start of the possession itself. He needs to know that he needs to do more to commit it in that situation. That's Larry's fault.
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yeah. Skiles' substitution patterns are awful. At least the Bulls are back ahead.
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    Awful third quarter and some major foul problems going around right now.

    Basically you'd want any and every GM fired. ETA: And you apparently have already decided TT is a wasted pick. Tyrus Thomas is Stromile Smith part II. There are plenty who think the same. Why not let the kid prove whether he's a bust or not, rather than labeling him based on half a season with limited playing time and some scouting reports? I watched him plenty in the college as well, he can jump out of the gym, but what low post moves does he have? His offensive game is as raw as it comes. So even if he does become a decent player down the road, it was still a bad pick because this team is built to win now. I'm a UCLA alum, I saw the Final 4 game where UCLA completely locked down Tyrus and LSU (probably the worst he looked last season) - and I watched plenty of other LSU games. I saw a midrange jumper and a few offensive moves, not bad for someone as raw as TT. I also saw someone with an incredible ceiling at a position the Bulls were weak at. Yes, if he's a decent player, it's not a great pick. Of course, his ceiling is much higher and it's plenty possible he'll be more than a decent player. If

    How do you figure that? If he isn't convinced a new guy could make them a contender, he's obviously not convinced they are currently a contender. But to acquire the new guy, he'd give up two parts of the current team. Paxson is saying Gasol minus two parts of the current team will not be anymore of a contender. I could easily see them getting to the NBA Finals, the East isn't all that great.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    Agreed on the Turner-Grossman part, but a new QB coach could really benefit Rex.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    Also, Wade Wilson played for and coached the Cowboys in the past.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Gah. Haven't seen it anywhere, where did you hear/read it? Just heard it on the Score. No link that I know of. Ok, thanks. Thoughts on potential replacements? This is a big offseason for Rex and he obviously could use a good QB coach.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Gah. Haven't seen the official word anywhere, where did you hear/read it? ETA: Sounds like Hardy Nickerson will be the new LB coach and Mississippi State's Brick Haley will be the new DL coach.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    You made the point that had immediatley popped into my head earlier in the thread. CERA's are only potentially interesting if the catchers are catching the same pitchers. I wholeheartedly agree.
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    So you're saying the Bulls acquired Nomar?
