Can we just get another forum set up for who should start. This is like a soap opera that goes on and on and never ends.

I know, isn't it awesome?

It's taken a significant step back since 24 hours ago, but I suppose it's still good enough to get me through the work day.

Isn't it time Mookie Jones finally gets a shot to start?

He's been a starter all along.

In his mind.

Tyler Lydon ranked the ninth-best player in college basketball by The Big Lead
Team player or not, not sure he should be coming off the bench, unless it is within the first minute of the game.

True but I'm not sure he's strong enough to play 40 minutes for a whole season. It seems like it would be OK to have the five or so minutes he doesn't play come at the beginning of the game.

Being retired, this "soap opera" adds a bit of spice to my day...after I return from fishing. I recently gave up drinking....this thread is an adequate replacement, for the time being.

They both kill brain cells.

Our players in the NBA are almost across the board mediocre to poor defenders. I mean who was the last SU guy known for good D? Jason Hart?

Most players in the NBA are poor to mediocre defenders. It's been that way for years.

Yeah, it's one of the reason why I don't watch NBA games that much. Maybe it's different nowadays.

I don't look at it that way. I enjoy NBA games. I see it as the best offensive players in the NCAA are drafted. They were usually the NCAA's best scorers, and now there's a collection of them in the NBA. If the collegian defenders couldn't stop them, they're not going to be stopped in the NBA when they're more experienced, stronger, with more evolved games. As well, there are great NBA defenders, and you don't win championships without them. On the other hand, who's a great defender for Villanova?

It's a different game, for sure. I can appreciate both. I get as frustrated by the ineptitude in college games (80 or 90 total points?), as by the occasional lame nba defensive efforts. But, those same bad nba defenders were as bad or worse in college.

Just don't watch NBA all-star games. They're just 'offensive' exhibitions.

If they don't play defense in the NBA, why is there always a pretty precipitous fall-off of scoring from a college star's draft year versus his rookie NBA season, even when it's not minutes-related? I'd love to ask one of our alums about this. I'm pretty sure they'd say it's harder to score in the NBA.

Then you don't understand defense. There's a reason the NBA overhauled their rules a few years ago...too much d

That's a good point. If Lydon doesn't start, it will be like Kevin McHale not starting for the Celtics for several years back in the 80s. He still managed to find his way on the court.

Incidentally, it's a sad world when I google Kevin McHale and I have to look at that dork from Glee instead of the one I want the information about.

Who would have guessed both Kevin McHales would be dorks?

So there was you, your wife and some guy named Tom. Who closed the door on the way out?

LOL met my wife on My Space!

I wish there was team with Orange as their primary color.
