OT: Linda Lavin dead

another sad day, recently diagnosed with lung cancer...Alice was such an underrated show and had some classic characters. I believe of the original cast only Polly Holliday is still with us as Vera, Mel, and Tommy have all already passed.

What a great theme song that they altered somewhat each year and Linda gave a virtuso performance going all out

Wasn't she in the movie too?

Pikell Just Sucks

The Pike fan club can’t be reasoned with, we can miss the big ten tourney and they’ll talk about attendance numbers, expectations and the team GPA.

The one tourney bid, one play-in game resume gives Pike a lifetime contract and the right to never be questioned about his teams or their performance.
It’s 2 bids
His seat will get warm if the team has a losing record next season.

It’s the little guy, not the whales, right

This is just another way to blame the everyday fans. The big donors won't give unless the people who may not be able to afford it are giving? If the big donors aren't giving, they are the problem that needs to be worked on. I can see the small donor being much more interested in adding in when things are being done. Small donors aren't the ground work, they are the gravy.
That doesn't understand the mindset of many large donors and it also misrepresents what is being said.

They see priorities as being related to things you choose to spend money on. Almost everyone on this board can afford a few dollars. If not monthly, then yearly. It's a form of voting with your pocketbook.

OT: Stock and Investment Talk

market is still dropping…this is so stupid
Markets don’t go straight up. We’ve had a huge two year run, and corrections, many that have been much much greater than this, happen all the time. The stocks that dropped the most, were generally stocks that experienced ridiculous gains over the last few months (or longer).

I know most won’t agree, and won’t happen, BUT..here me out.

Iverson was much quicker and obviously smaller. I know this is college, but I can't think of anyone that can finish at the rim like Dylan.

My pro questions for Dylan.....
1. Will his low release be an issue getting shots off
2. Can he finish at the rim against NBA length
3. Is he, right now, a point guard?

I think the answers are all positive for Dylan, but am not sure. If I were building a team I might be inclined to take Ace over Dylan because I think he is a safer pick.
Yeah, that was my point, Iverson was almost complete opposite of Dylan in body and pace of play.

I thought he may have an issue in college w his release. He hasn't really, but is shooting what, less than 33% from outside? Still needs to work on that part of his game. I see Dylan much like Harden. Harden, I don't think, has ever had a year where he shot that low from 3.

OT: NJ Devils 2024-2025 Thread

Sadly Fitz doesn't have a proactive bone in his body.

Blitzer and Harris care about acquisitions, not winning championships.

What happened to heavier, edgier, more violent? This team has stopped hitting and protecting one another. Fights not Hugs.

Why did we sign Big Mac to not Play him? Against the Flyers no less. Seeler should have had his ass kicked!

Timo's goal was with him on RW. If Keefe doesn't know Fitz should tell him about his March under Green. Unless Keefe doesn't have autonomy like Ruff. Either way this square peg in a round hole is frustrating.

We are now in Metro 3rd. Columbus, Philadelphia, and NYR are playing better and within 10 points. Forget just Fitz, if this team doesn't snap out of this and make the playoffs, there should be a house cleaning. Sadly ownership will not do anything.

Post Mortem by Lion - Delayed, RU vs MSU

My stats are always right unless they are wrong.

We are now more than 48 hours after the game and my thoughts are a bit more rational

Fans, especially me, should try and evaluate a player not based on how "hot or cold" the dice were. Ace shouldn't "suck" because he missed 13 shots in a row if they are good looks. Also if there were 4 plays were Ace made the right pass and the player missed the open shot we should really credit him with 2 assists (the expected amount....maybe 1.6 with this bunch)

Don't rewatch, but I am telling you all game on D he was flatfooted and really didn't move. He is not al all thinking of blocking out and is waiting for the ball to come to him.

Another thing......"freshman wall".....it is so easy to say he had a bad game and wasn't engaged as much as normal so he must be hitting the wall. I saw the freshman wall with my one kid and it is real and you get through it. Watching him flat footed and slow to react on D would be the sign.

It’s the little guy, not the whales, right

I would have a better understanding of that than you. Big money people are not coming if they don't feel everyone is all in and yes SOME big money people started decades ago giving small amounts and gradually increased as their earnings increased.
This is just another way to blame the everyday fans. The big donors won't give unless the people who may not be able to afford it are giving? If the big donors aren't giving, they are the problem that needs to be worked on. I can see the small donor being much more interested in adding in when things are being done.
