he's too damn talented for all this shyt. He's actually been their best PG this season and quite unselfish offensively. He needs to channel his rage/passion better. Westbrook is a force/fire, but doesn't do dumb shyt like this.

"Rage/passion" blah blah blah. This has nothing to do with any of those soft factors. He's simply just a fukk boy. None of his trips came in a heated moment of rage or passion. This clown tripped XRM from FSU at half court when the game was ending. Don't ever try to draw a parallel of what Russ is/does to this clown.

@funkee whats up with Luke throwing subs hinting that everybody hasn't bought in on the team yet?

I think he was sneak dissing tatum and jackson who are both extremely shot happy, and to a lesser extent bolden who looks lackadaisical whether he's on bench or in game. the team chemistry has overall gotten worse since tatum rejoined. I was hoping his reputation as a ballstopper wouldn't be true, but he's been iso'ing alot and the ball stops moving when it hits his hand. I'm not sure if luke should be talking too much though, b/c he has been quite shot happy/ballhoggy himself lately.

bytch fukk YOU. He is clearly an incredibly competitve dude (ask his teammates about him in practice as a freshman) bordering on crazy when he plays. He and XRM had been getting heated alot that game with XRM grabbing/hacking him and him not backing down/being a dikkhead in return, the one last nite, the dude had been pulling on his arm. the louisville one i can't defend, but these 2, while having heat of the moment circumstances, I can't condone at all although I see what had transpired before he reacted. Again, that shyt happens to plenty of players during games, but they don't react like this. dude just has to control his emotions. I'm not drawing a parallel to russ in terms of actions towards other players, but in terms of the fire/aggressiveness/competitiveness. Russ channels his to help his team is what I was getting off. So again, fukk YOU.

Damn homie, is he your boyfriend or something? Miss me with this "incredibly competitive dude" narrative. Nobody that makes it to this level get there without being incredibly competitive on some level. Dude is just a fukk boy, period. And you're out here caping for him. Even K or Duke alum Jay Williams aren't defending him, but here you are, out here with your knee pads tied tight. What kinda entitled brand of ball are you endorsing? "Grabbing/hacking"...."grabbing his arm".....ummm.....welcome to every single play in basketball, clown. And like I said, don't try to draw any parallels between Russ and this clown on any level, goofball!

Yeah I figured it was a sub shot at Tatum and Bolden actually. Seen some duke fans complain about the body language of the team. Thanks for the explanation.

Say what you want about Cal but he never has had problems with freshmen taking too many shots or complaining about touches or minutes

He handles huge freshmen with egos better then anyone because he tells them from when he first recruits them that they aren't getting preferential treatment. There's no guarantee of starting or minutes or shots you have to earn it.

K tells them whatever it takes to get them there

The press conference of a broken man

It's only a matter of time before he's gone now.


Lob City from NYC

I knew something was off when he talked about how good this team was before the season even started. He never says shyt like that

I think I had wrote that about Tatum, so I'm not surprised at all if Luke was sneakdissing. It really goes to show you how when you're amongst the elite of the elite, the media will ignore the chucking. Tatum was absolutely OD'ing at the McDonald's and Jordan game, which pissed some of the players off (this is behind the scenes stuff btw) The same media had destroyed UConn commit Daniel Hamilton about chucking in some random AAU, and this is a kid who led every team he played for in assists. When he was in college, they actually was begging for him to score more. Frank does shoot a lot too, but I think he has what it takes to compromise and sacrifice some of that for the team. I don't see that with Tatum.

Harry Giles haven't played ball since his junior year of HS. The kid has been plagued with 3 knee injuries, so that's BS he's being crucified for not being the second coming. He has the talent to be the #1 pick in the draft, but he is nowhere near game ready, and he has to conquer his mental demons.

Grayson intensity being compared to Westbrook's has to be the most asinine shyt I've seen Duke fans say. Stop it please.

Wait hol up....are you saying Cal has never had any problems with freshman fukking up chemistry????


Calipari literally called a player a "selfish motherfukker" on the court during a live game on ESPN. Dude has had parents complain to the media about how he didn't live up to the promises he made during recruitment of their kids. That's why he even had to address the negative recruiting he was getting during AAU season the last few years.

Plus for all his talent and future NBA players he's coached this man has won 1 fukking Championship lmao. You can call K whatever you want fam but keep it a 100...

Don't ever compare Cal overrated ass to Coach K who has 5 rings and has won more rings in the last 5 years than Calipari has won in his lifetime
