Hot Stove: UNC Basketball

[Sheetsfaced]

Maybe we could go after Gilbert Arenas' son. There are some posters here who would envision him as a perfect fit for HD's system.

Wow really? This is post is in extremely poor taste. What the hell man?

 

[Bigs23]

And I would like the team to be better.

Maybe they will be.

Some folks are always rainbows and kittens no matter what the reality is.

And some bitch and moan about everything including HOF coaches.
I guess these juxtapositions provide balance.

This is either the worst joke or worst timed joke ever.

This is either the worst joke or worst timed joke ever.

I sincerely hope it was the latter.

 

[stankeylegjones]

What's the actual joke?

 

[Bigs23]

Stojakovic to UNC?

Drake likely returning?

Rock, where you at?

 

[Geisterfahrer]

Darkest kittens and rainbows ever.

 

[BluHevn]

Maybe they will be.

But maybe it won't.

 

[Bigs23]

But maybe it won't.

That’s why they play the games.

The roster as it stands now is arguably worse than last season. Adding AS would be a huge lift so fingers crossed on that. However the point guard situation is still a problem as well as ST likely starting. The backcourt is improved but VAL leaving was a blow to the bench.

That some posters have used words like braindead to describe HD's offense. Arenas' son was put in a medically induced coma. I've seen that phrase used re: HD's offense as well.

Oh, please. Dude crashed his cyber truck at 4:00, almost certainly intoxicated. And stupidly driving a death trap. He's going to be fine. Career might be in jeopardy from what I understand, but if his dad can't take care of him, I mean wtf.

Agreed. As constructed now, doubt we can muster any Q1 wins. Any lineups that starts ST are doomed. We strike fear in no one from the 3 line. Just not built for today's game.

 

[donbosco]

Any lineups that starts ST are doomed.

That's silly talk.

 

[Batt Boy]

That's silly talk.

Career 28% from three, 67% from the FT line, averaging 0.9 assists per game and regularly gets cooked late in games on D when it matters. Averages 6 points a game over the course of 3 years. Only dork-nerd writers think he's good. He is simply not very good.

"dork-nerd writer" -- I like it.

Mil gracias

Jeez super, that’s not cool.

This take is simply not very good

82% FT shooter last season on 4 attempts a game

Went from a 2 -> 5 -> 12 ppg scorer. No reason think he can't be around 14 next year

If he shoots it 30%+ from 3 with 2+ APG, that would be solid

Rommel advanced across North Africa. No reason to think he wouldn't make it to Cairo. Except he didn't. He got stoned at El Alamein. Trends don't go on forever.
