Starting Positions - Whose to Lose?

How about small"ish" ball. We are playing small ball by default with RJ and EC on the court together. I would like to see RJ's minutes come down for more size at the 2 spot .. and I'd like to see what, or how, Seth has developed both at the one and two. If hubs stays with his all in on RJ for all things I think he's both misusing and sacrificing future development for a legacy player that's getting a bit long in the tooth in his college career. jmo
I get your gripe for RJ but just to want more size at the two is not enough imo. In essence you’re saying let’s sit the acc banner hanging player that’s proven, just for more size. If anything, EC better have learned how to shoot. If not then we’ll get the size at the two with him on the bench. I’m excited on having some talent to choose from for sure. And I agree Al, HD better bow up this year too.

There will be matchups and whole games where it is necessary to play two bigs at times, but I think the smart money is that small ball is our default lineup.

We must be watching two different interviews. Either that or you're simply too stubbornly dumb to admit to the truth like JD Vance.
please point out in what way my description varies from the reality of the video. I can save you some time and further embarrassment...it doesn't. Or if you prefer to indulge in further self-ridicule, give us your version of her press to extract the answer she was obviously seeking to obtain.

And answering the way he did afforded him the opportunity to express a problem with the election, and he could have offered more...like the FBI inexplicably downplaying the laptop as Russian disinformation when they knew damn well it wasn't. I'm not sure how anyone can see that somehow working against him. The way he calmly fielded her insistent pointedness gets him bonus points.

EC, RJ, Cade, JWit, JWash! I see no issue with Cade guarding 3s either. He is more athletic than peeps are giving him credit for AND he can offset pure speed with anticipation, footwork, studying tendencies, and proper rotations! Why intentionally give away size and the rebounding that comes with it? I would bet Cade sees more time at 3 than 4, but if the freshmen push him into the post, that sounds like a great problem to have! We spend way too much time focused on starters when who plays at crunch time and who gets the most minutes are much more important!
Let's play a little game.
Write down who you think are the best players on the team 1-11.
I did the same thing and 6 of my top 7 players were Davis, Jackson, Cadeau, Tysen, Powell and Trimble
I had Washington in my top 7 too.
Why would I play 6 of my best players at just 3 positions?

This hurts me to say this, because I have always been a big proponent of playing as big as your talent allows.

Speaking of a minuscule amount of knowledge, aren't you the one who was trying to bet during the midterms with another poster and you wanted to put your money on Walker over Warnock and Oz over Fetterman?
🤣
Do you lose your shorts often?
I was, and I did. With @blazers . I lost that bet, and I paid up in full. I lose a shit ton of bets, but I manage to win slightly more than I lose, so I consider it a profitable endeavor. Sometimes I make bets that I'm pretty sure I'll lose because I let my mouth write checks that I need to cash - wouldn't want everyone thinking I'm a bitch boi for backing down off my claims like has happened to you around here.

Well... I know that they suspended Trump's Twitter account. I don't think that should have happened. But, Twitter is not "America." Nor is Facebook, for that matter.

The truth is, Trump has simply used this corrupt system that America dangles from, to the extremes. He was taught how to do it, and he perfected it. I think Vance is the heir-apparent for MAGA republicans. Vance can be co-opted. Trump is really a one-of-a-kind example. He's too old, and he never had any real motivation or allegiance except to promote himself. Vance is a potential career-politician. He's got a lot of skin in the game.

Vance's biggest issue is how unlikable he is. He's conniving enough fake it for a while; then his hatred of women overtakes his act. I could see him in the "Lindsey Graham" role. Where he is willing to say anything to hang onto power.

And, you blame that on Joe fvckin Biden??? You need to sell all assets now. A fool and his money, something-something.
If a restaurant is purchased by new owners with new management and the food and service turns shitty, who you going to blame? The old owners or the new ones?

You need to stop breeding, Mr. Whittaker. Its gotta stop sometime.
Mea culpa. Of course that is who you will blame! LOL

But, you have admitted that your 401K revived itself... in spite of a democrat residing in the White House. How is that possible? You should be broke by now.
and you should be intelligent by now but here we are!

That doesn't even address his claim.

Okay, from the BBC link:

"Facebook did not completely ban sharing of the article, but instead limited how much its algorithm automatically shared it to other people for a week, while third-party fact-checkers tried to verify the reporting.

So while people could post the article and discuss it, it was less likely to spread organically to new users."

That hardly sounds like silencing the public, to me.
