Humbling Dan Dakich might be Lebron's greatest achievement ever.

Largest halftime comeback in postseason history. The Cavs have been screwing around the past few months but I can see this win being the one that flips their switch.

If kyrie played in the second half I didn't notice it. I'm going to avoid being a Purdue Person and boasting though because that first half was beyond embarrassing.

Agreed, it's awesome. I've only been to a handful of games here but every time I come I'm amazed at how nice it is.

Yeah I noticed the guy next to Archie and then Izzo but I didn't see Fife until Boogaloo pointed him out.

I'm holding down the balcony tonight for game 3. Sometimes I wish we had built a new arena like Bankers Life instead of renovating. No bad seat in the entire place.

I wondered who MSU's third coach was. I had read that they were three deep there but only saw two coaches.

I feel like if there had been a scholarship for Patterson we would've "found a way" to keep him eligible.

To me it made it seem like he didn't have a good grip on the roster situation and was just winging it. I didn't like how he would force some players out to make room for new ones. Like this past year Crean was looking like he was recruiting a five man class and now we see that finding room for three is hard enough. I think it weighs on guys and negatively impacts them when they see their coach out recruiting over them, and I think it burned some bridges with high school coaches.

My problem was with Crean doing it year after year. Archie has only been on the job for a month (side note, it feels like he's been here much longer than that). If Archie does it every year like Crean did then I'll have a problem with it. I just need more evidence at this point.

I don't really blame Russ for it, he has to shoot a bunch to give them a chance at winning, but idk. OKC has three other guys on the team averaging double figures for the year and they're all shooting higher percentages from the field than him. I think I would be pretty annoyed if I had a teammate take 18 shots during the 4th quarter while shooting as poorly as he did last night. Unless OKC can make some moves this offseason I don't expect to see him there much longer.

I would hate playing with Westbrook. He's a great talent, but watching him chuck 43 shots on 39% shooting would get old fast.

No idea but I can't see him leaving campus during Little 5 weekend, especially if he's leaving college.

Yeah that's true, I imagine he has a pretty good read on the situation. His actions make it seem like he's expecting us to lose both. I'm guessing in a few weeks they'll keep their names in the draft and our roster problems will be solved.

Archie doesn't know what JBJ and TB are going to do. If he didn't try to get all 3 recruits to stay he could've been in a position where he loses OG, James and Tom, and then loses the 3 recruits too. He would be filling the rest of the roster out with table scraps. Sure, he put himself in the oversign position, but he was doing the best he could in a bad situation. It's nothing like what Crean did.

Ah okay, that makes sense. Saves him a lot of time. Was he meeting with high school coaches/other important basketball people in the area?

I wonder if Glass will give him the million dollar recruiting budget the previous administration had. With his inside-out recruiting style I doubt he'll even need it.

Archie's going to need a new car soon with all these miles he's racking up. I hope he's bringing Schilling with him.

Never change Gronk.

I'm so convinced about that one that sometimes I forget some people still believe the official story lol. Even if no conspiracy theories are true they still make life a lot more interesting.

Tv shows/movies have made me suspicious whenever I hear about a high profile person committing "suicide" in prison.

I agree. I think the media's portrayal of him as this cold-blooded killer took a big hit when he was acquitted of the other two murders last week. The prosecution would've had a much harder time proving their case this time around imo, and I think Hernandez would've won. The timing of it all is super suspicious to me. The life sentence he got in 2015 wasn't enough to make him kill himself. He sat in prison for two years knowing he wasn't ever getting out. Now they're wanting to say he decided to kill himself a few days after finally getting good news? I'm not buying it. Had he lost the case last week I would understand him killing himself after seeing his daughter and realizing he'd never have a real relationship with her. But he won, and it looked like he had a good shot at getting out of jail one day. I think that if he really did commit suicide there's a strong possibility someone didn't want him getting out of prison and threatened to hurt his daughter if he didn't kill himself.

I like a good conspiracy theory so that could be where this is coming from, but I honestly have doubts that he killed himself, or at least that he killed himself on his own volition. He just beat a double murder charge. There was a chance that he could have gotten a new trial for his first conviction and then been aquitted. Why kill yourself at this point? Seeing his daughter could've pushed him over the edge for sure, but why do it before you've exhausted all your chances at getting out? He sat in a jail cell for over three years. Why end it when there was finally light at the end of the tunnel? It doesn't add up to me.

You weren't joking. Goodman pulled no punches and said a lot of the things that we had been saying about Crean the past few years.
