I'll put it this way: I had mostly positive things to say about him until that tweet last night. The only other tweet I didn't like was him whining about IU fans saying "we" when talking about the team...those fans who say "we" tune in to watch the IU basketball games that he so happens to call. That equals ratings. I didn't like him trashing the Assembly Call guys. They are awesome and fans just like us. However,  I hit the unfollow button last night. Lost a lot of respect for him. I hope Archie never goes on his show anymore. Kudos to TJD for calling him out. 

I’m shocked that Archie goes on there at all. The things he says about him any time I’ve tuned in (and it seems like there’s ALWAYS something being said about Archie but it’s probably coincidence) are pretty terrible. And I’m not talking about his gripes about results or whatever, it’s the condescending disrespectful stuff, the petty insults, etc. 

His beef with Jerrod Morris last night was hilarious and so freakin’ stupid. He got roasted so decided to play the bigger man card about being called old. Dakich sucks pretty hard as a public personality, which is sad because he has a pretty interesting perspective on IUBB. I’m sure 1070 loves his ratings though.

What was the tweet last night? I can handle a little DD here and there while driving around at lunch time but I had to unfollow as well.

Domas can't guard modern 4s. Its 2019, not 1999

Have to say that I think the pendulum is going to stay where it is.

So many guys entered this draft and went undrafted. Doubt any develop when another year of college could have helped at least half of these guys. Glad they will be changing the rules soon.

The list of undrafted underclassmen: Lungentz Dort, Jalen Lecque, Jontay Porter, Louis King, Zach Norvell, Dedrick Lawson, Naz Reid, Simmi Shittu, Kenny Wooten, Kris Wilkes...plenty more just some of the more recognizable recruits and names to this board. 

 

I wasn't aware that Shittu had declared.  Man, Vandy could not have had a worse season.

Someone said it was cool for Archie to be in the green room and Dakich responded "he turned the #5 pick into #14". I think Jeff Rabjohns is pretty credible and he said no GM"s had Romeo in the top 5 before the season even started.

Ha funny how DD likes to point out he lost his best player to injury most of his last years coaching but doesn’t allow any grace here for Romeos injury.

Yea some big names for sure. Thats life though.

So maybe someone should tell the Rockets to stop. First they sent out a memo about how they got screwed by the refs last year, they didn't. And now they send this out.

Reminds me of the pistons after Ron Artest beat out Wallace for DPOY

I almost died laughing at that. That’s good stuff.

I couldn’t care less what numbers and stats Harden puts up. He’s officiated completely different than the rest of the league (still no idea why) and he couldn’t care less about defense.

EG possibly changing zip codes.

Reporting w/ @ZachLowe: Houston’s offering Clint Capela, Eric Gordon and PJ Tucker individually to teams w/ space to absorb salary. Rockets trying for best available first-rounder for any of those three, hoping to redirect pick to Philly in pursuit of Jimmy Butler sign-and-trade.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

And maybe Thomas as well??

After Boston and Brooklyn swung their big trade, the Nets became famous for signing RFAs to big offer sheets. It might be the Celtics turn at that game this summer, with chatter building that Malcolm Brogdon, Thomas Bryant and Tomas Satoransky are potential targets.

Wizards have extended a qualifying offer to center Thomas Bryant.

Here's some unexpected Pacers news - 

Indiana Pacers point guard Darren Collison has decided to retire from the NBA after 10 seasons to focus on being a Jehovah's Witness.

The 31-year-old Collison played for the Pacers the last two seasons. He told ESPN's The Undefeated in a letter Friday that he decided to retire primarily to concentrate on helping the less fortunate through his faith.

"While I still love basketball, I know there is something more important, which is my family and my faith," he wrote. "I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and my faith means everything to me. I receive so much joy from volunteering to help others and participate in a worldwide ministry. The joy I feel is unmatched."

Collison was on verge of becoming an unrestricted free agent.

He averaged 12.5 points and 5.0 assists in 708 games with the New Orleans Hornets, Dallas Mavericks, LA Clippers, Sacramento Kings and Pacers. He was drafted out of UCLA in 2009 and was named an All-NBA rookie the following year.

I hope James Dolan's stupid band can ball too cuz nobody else wants to play for the Knicks.
