T White

We're not discussing a four year old whose parents should have had a better handle on his discipline. We're talking about an adult who sometimes acted like that four year old throwing a tantrum. While I'm sure the administration(s) could have done more or could have done better, the adult (Knight) bears much of the responsibility as well. We can't say it was all on the administration and absolve him of all the repercussions of his behavior.

Plus, some players who are confident about their draft status will turn down the combine. They will feel there is no need to risk injury.

Yeah, that sort of stuff wasn't going to fly. He had plenty of opportunity and time over the years to change. It just wasn't going to happen. That's on him.

Knight had already used enough rope to circle the globe many times over.

Just remember, he forced his way out of Indy. He got an extension on his contract, then complained about the amount and demanded more. By the rules, the Pacers could not do that, so then he demanded to be traded. He was traded to Portland (for Jermaine O'Neal) where he did the same thing all over again. Not the sharpest tack in the box.

Fill me in here. Did Chuck Crabb retire? I met him years ago. Seemed like a good guy.

OK guys. My mistake. I meant most populated CITY in the nation. Geez. Tough crowd. HA!

Makes sense. You have a basketball crazy state vs. the state with the largest population in the country. Put those together and you get ratings.

To be honest, NO ONE needs the stinkin' New York Post. It has always been a trashy rag.

If I remember correctly, the brothers finished with just four rebounds separating them as well. Something like 719 vs 723.

His NBA background is showing.

I'll show my age here. I don't think I have been there since it was Funky's Pizza.

Why not have expectations for TJD to work on his away from the bucket offense? He wants to get to the next level, right? Well, at the next level he isn't going to cut it as a center. As a 4?, maybe. But that means working on his game away from the bucket.

I almost hate to suggest this, but........ You could do a "trial" subscription to Sling TV, then cancel it tomorrow (which would be before the trial period expires)? They have ESPN as part of their "Orange" package. I think they have a three day trial period. You might want to check out their website for that.

Well, all right then. Thanks for all your posting to keep the rest of us updated!

Got to be getting close on time, aren't we?

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?

Just from your posts, it seems like IU is basically cheating death, so far.

Sounds like he is getting a real workout this game.

And usually, when a player gets this much buildup over such a long time, the result is..........disappointing actual performance. AKA, the truth never matches the hype. At least the hype from some of his fans.

That's their arena? I always thought it was a cattle barn. Never figured out why they didn't build a silo next to it so the feed supply was closer to the livestock.

HA! Did Devonte ever meet a shot he didn't like?

Well done IU!

I'd like to see a replay of that.

Could be right. Or at least the lens has fogged inside from humidity.
