Tre Johnson’s body language looks toxic for the Wizards. Gets snappy with other players when he drives without intention, makes exaggerated calls for the ball that are distracting when others have open shots, looks lifeless at other times like he shouldn’t be bothered to hustle

THEM: “Shedeur should’ve destroyed the weak Saints defense! They are terrible!”
FACTS: No other QB has thrown for more yards this year against the Saints.

NIL era is crazy
Imagine being a 7’1 big who is making 2 million and can’t get a double double against a MAC team (tallest guy 6’8), cant guard a traffic cone, and refuses to get on the floor for loose balls
Or a PG who is known for shooting making 800k and hits 14% from 3

Been telling everyone on this app for 2-3 years these 2 can't play together. I don't care how many regular season wins we get. You cannot win a playoff series when teams can guard you the way they can guard you with both of them on the court.

We gotta start getting high school programs to take their players to DIII games so they can see just how talented and competitive that level REALLY is! I’m starting to think some coaches and parents avoid exposing kids to DIII because they’re too busy chasing a DII or DI scholarship. But the reality is, if some of these kids actually watched DIII basketball, they’d realize IT AIN’T SWEET! You gotta work your ass off just to earn playing time at that level! Stop chasing a scholarship just to say you got one. Find a level where you can COMPETE, DEVELOP, HAVE FUN, and be SUCCESSFUL! Because when the smoke clears, your talent will eventually place you at the level you belong. The game has a way of exposing the truth!

Sometimes we frequent the fancy coffee spots with the sky rocket prices but despite the 💰☕️ our neighborhood / “bodega” coffee is wayyy BETTER… not only in pure taste but it offers more bang for the buck…
Same applies for “skill developers”

The Bonnies travel to Koessler Saturday for the 174th chapter of SBU’s oldest rivalry. Bona leads Canisius 105-68 all-time and has won the last two.
Mike MacDonald, who led the Griffs from 1997-2006, returns seeking his first triumph as Bona’s lead man.

Nothing more disappointing than watching a player who “trained” with a so called NBA “trainer” being called for travel on the “gather step” during his first year as a CBB athlete..

not trying to overreact because it’s the 9th game of the season but it’s something I’ve been saying for 2-3 years, I do not think amen & sengun can work together due to amens flaws. Come playoff time I believe this will be exposed even more like it has in the past. gotta choose 1
He's known for being sulky and at times passive aggressive when frustrated.....Will be interesting to see if winning cure all
