Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

I think our city league team could give this group a run....lol. We do have some size and can definitely shoot better. I'm sure @BonesJones would join us.
I'm sure I could've shot better than Pat and Jake today, sheesh.

Tell us observations on the four roster players
Layman - Bad body language, frustrated, disengaged.
Collins - Nothing out of the ordinary
Swanigan - Extremely vocal and engaged. Got pissed off at Nick Johnson, and I think Johnson said something fucked up back because Caleb made hand movements mocking a mouth while Johnson walked away from him.
Connaughton - Frustrated, not vocal.

Fair to say Biggie has taken a leadership role?
 
Zach Collins, almost more quiet on the bench than his play on the floor, god am I frustrated... but probably not as frustrated as he is.

He's probably just a little shell-shocked. I hear Rookie seasons are the hardest for athletes, because you go right into training straight from the draft, and play pretty much all season (at least that's how it is in the NFL). I imagine it won't be as hard for NBA rookies, since they'll likely see little playing time, unless they are expected to be starters or the regular bench rotation.

The thing is, I thought the kid was supposed to be super confident...
 
You seem like an amateur basketball observer. Is this the first SL you've watched?
No just color me as a frustrated and slightly drunk fan who is turning into mediocre man because I'm starting to realize we are gonna waste Dame/CJs Prime developing a WABPF. I just don't want to see us win 35-45 games per season and get bounced in the playoffs early for the next 5 years only to transition to winning 20-25 games a season.
 
I was there again tonight guys. A bit more sober but I wish I wasn't. I'm souring on Layman. Missed shots. Ok whatever. But the mental part is more concerning. Another guy that struggles with confidence. We don't need anymore of those. One is enough.

Swanigan is dope. He'll adjust. He's always around the ball. Can't teach that.

Connaughton. Bro. Go play baseball.

Collins is impressive defensively. Gives him
a chance to play early. His passing seems like it was underutilized at gonzaga. Not sure he'll play much as a rookie though. Swanigan is ahead of him, but that's not a surprise considering he's a year ahead.

Patty is gonna get cut. Wouldn't surprise me if Layman went that direction too.
 
I'm so confused about who these people are


Why do you feel the need to defend all Zags players? I like Ducks football but I don't go around defending their players once they leave.

Why do you feel the need to stop defending Duck football players once they leave? Please justify your short-term loyalty.
