. Defense is all about EFFORT.

Uh, pet peeve. But no. It isn't. Some guys give all the effort in the world, but they will never even come close to being the individual defender that a Paul George or Kawahi Leonard is. It isn't all about effort

Remember when Blackmon hit a 3 and then played defense for 1 possession. That was cool...

Seriously, Bill Walton is atrocious to listen to. It's like you walk away with a nugget but yet you had to become dumber in the process for listening.

And we get it Bill. Every player from your generation is gold and all these new players are cheap knock offs.

A team full of guards and we throw a hail Mary. Inbounds the ball on a curl.. Set up another curl further down for a very quick pass... Option b, the guard who caught the inbounds ALL GAS NO BRAKES to the rim. Even if you have to pull a 28' shot, its still a make-able shot.

Beyond frustrated with this loss on repeat ever year. Im pretty sure all of us called this with 3 mins to go.

Does anyone have examples of when Crean and team actually made a play to ahead 1 and win? I can't remember and I'm not being a poop-butt. I genuinely can't remember a game outside of the Wat shot in Creans seven years

I think we can all agree Walton was tripping on some acid. How many Grateful Dead references did he make?

Not sure why everyone is so hung up on Walton. He was a "colorful" color commentator. I quite enjoyed the bizarre reality he was living.

Then again, I actually like Dakich as a color commentator because he knows basketball. Calls spades, spades.

Edit- I bet if we were playing beautiful basketball last night the tenor about Walton would be different than it was.

Oh, and that was virtually a home game last night. HoosierNation did its job again.

Hoosier Nation is never at fault but are the ones that get punished on these type of nights.

Saw a question yesterday in the Game thread that I'm not sure I saw answered.  Has Bryant every guarded a south paw before??  He seemed to really struggle with that.

So are people still jumping the gun and saying TB could even sniff being a one and done

Nah they are jumping the gun in the opposite direction due to one game.

Could you imagine Walton & Dakich calling a game together?

 

I thought the other guy was at some point going to tell him to just shut up.

I would actually welcome seeing CTC get this visibly upset during a game.
