Cats vs. Bears

[ghostwhitehorse]

Bear Down!

[ghostwhitehorse]

Bump!

[CBCat]

wth? 2-3 zone? ok.

[Merkin]

Ever have bear meat? It's really good. You roast it like tri-tip.

[Zero]

HAHAHA! Our zone is amazing

[Rockdoc]

wth? 2-3 zone? ok.

yipes. wrong arizona team. jeez

[DeezleWildcats]

wth? 2-3 zone? ok.

just heard it also lol. its ok, no one knows except for us

[UAinDC]

wtf?! the dude on ESPN just praised our 2-3 zone and said our zone is why we've played well this year. Does ESPN bother to watch the PAC 10?

Edit: haha it seems other forum members took issue with the dude's analysis.

[wildcat at ASU]

my God, i had no clue we played a 2-3 zone :)

[Zero]

Nice, I love Lavin.

[AzCatsFan23]

Reds!!!

[wildcat at ASU]

time to shine solo

[SCCat]

The Reds!!

[Merkin]

Nice, I love Lavin.

Same here. Great insight, and really loved him as the UCLA coach! :)

[wildcat at ASU]

wow, the crowd is barren

[Merkin]

Bad pass, no boxout, not a good start.

[AzCatsFan23]

beautiful touch!!

[NorCalCat]

The team has decided not to box out at all tonight.

[SCCat]

4 offensive rebounds in the first 150 seconds for Cal...bleh

[Zero]

Jamelle is soooo bad.

[ghostwhitehorse]

Lazy. . .

[Merkin]

UA not ready to play.

[ghostwhitehorse]

Fogg!

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Can;t think of a more frustrating player than Horne EVER at Zona. 2 sloppy ass block outs, and a thrown away pass.

[Zero]

Nice, Kyle.

[AzCatsFan23]

Sweet jesus this is ugly

[Zero]

Here come the unforced errors.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

WTF Kyle

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

hahaha I'll take it

[ghostwhitehorse]

Bank!

[UAinDC]

wooow horne wtf.

[Zero]

HAHA! Melo

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Fogg with the slow close out

[Olson Court]

Any news on Parrom is he benched?

[Zero]

Jesus

[NorCalCat]

Fogg jumpers=not the key to long-term success.

[Merkin]

What's Boykin's career high? He is going to set it today.

[scumdevils86]

ughgh

[Farva]

Any news on Parrom is he benched?


C'mon man... I know you had to have read one of the few threads about him in the basketball forum already.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Any news on Parrom is he benched?

they said injured foot...but I dunno

[Merkin]

Any news on Parrom is he benched?

Official line is foot soreness. Did not travel.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Fogg jumpers=not the key to long-term success.

Boy I hope DB can shoot.

[Farva]

C'mon guys.. I know we want a win, but don't be so shocked if we're not playing great. All the pre-game guys on 1290AM predicted a loss tonight.. as did the majority of those that voted in that thread in the basketball forum.

[Olson Court]

C'mon man... I know you had to have read one of the few threads about him in the basketball forum already.

No didnt have time and havent read the paper today so they are saying injured foot?? No play today?

[azcatmuledeer]

Hate to be a downer, but I get the feeling the guys are struggling mentally.

[Olson Court]

Official line is foot soreness. Did not travel.

Thanks Merk I didnt hear that. Well that explains it. Its a CONSPIRACY.

[CBCat]

Over under on how many times that guy calls us Arizona State? ugh

[AzCatsFan23]

Hate to be a downer, but I get the feeling the guys are struggling mentally.

i second that.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Hate to be a downer, but I get the feeling the guys are struggling mentally.

yup. That home stand was brutal for us.

[wildcat at ASU]

still waiting for the announcers to talk about the pac being "down"

[SCCat]

We should bust out our l33t zone

[Zero]

We have been struggling mentally since Washington.

[CBCat]

We seem to play pretty well on the road though

[AzCatsFan23]

Is it too late for nic to bring back the tights and jordan headband? He played much better with them on haha.

[EndOfAnEra]

We are about to get raped.

[Farva]

Whenever Nic misses a free throw.. it should no longer be called "rare". He's missed in each of his last 5+ games it seems.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

I hope MoMo gets a lot of minutes tonight.

[PieceOfMeat]

I predict that by the end of momo's career, stepping on the baseline will no longer be known as "the shakur" and instead "the momo".

[UAinDC]

ugly shots

[Zero]

Give Kyryl the god damn ball, better than these ****ing jumpers.

[SCCat]

I predict that by the end of momo's career, stepping on the baselin will no long be known as "the shakur" and instead "the momo".

Woah, that's a big call. It will be interesting to see whether it develops...

[CBCat]

I hope MoMo gets a lot of minutes tonight.

Me too

[PieceOfMeat]

well now, we're not playing very well, and cal is opening up the lead and making us pay for it.

[Merkin]

I hope MoMo gets a lot of minutes tonight.

Is his thigh/hamstring injured?

And Fogg needs to sit.

[Zero]

Bench Fogg.

[EndOfAnEra]

If 2 out of Cal's 3 long shooters are on, then its over.


Speak of the devil

[CatintheHeat]

The Cats are going to get beat by at least 30.

[azlax04]

I don't understand how a team can be so poor at such an integral part of the game as rebounding.

[CBCat]

Has Kyryl ever recieved an entry past into the post the entire year. ugh

[ghostwhitehorse]

BLav drives for 2!

[Merkin]

Give Kyryl the god damn ball, better than these ****ing jumpers.

Or just take him out. :confused:

[CBCat]

The Cats are going to get beat by at least 30.

Nah

[EndOfAnEra]

BLav, very nice! Good TO.

[Farva]

Or just take him out. :confused:


Why, he's done nothing wrong so far.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Bench Fogg.

This.

[Merkin]

Why, he's done nothing wrong so far.

Playing aggressively too on offense and defense. He is one of the few that seems to care.

[PieceOfMeat]

can't defend the 3. cant defend the drive. cant rebound. turning it over

that, my friends, means can't win

[UAinDC]

this is terrible

[Zero]

This is ugly.

[NorCalCat]

This is naaaaaaasty

[CBCat]

Fogg turnover machine lately

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Fogg is REAllY bad RIGHT NOW.

I hope DB is as good as advertised.

[Merkin]

I would sit every starter, and bring in the scrubs. They could not do any worse and would actually try out there.

[MTFC]

Looking like we've mailed it in for the season.

[CBCat]

No Swagger. No Leader. Yet.

[wildcatalex]

our rebound effort suck, they already have like 10 off rebounds.

[Rockdoc]

someone needs to take the ball to the basket. then dish.

[EndOfAnEra]

The Cats are going to get beat by at least 30.

+1
Unfortunately, team D is horrible and that directly imapcts our offense. We need recruits...

[wildcat at ASU]

we are playing with no emotion. c'mon guys you are better than this

[PieceOfMeat]

Woah, that's a big call. It will be interesting to see whether it develops...

Well he's definitely on pace to make it happen.

The Cats are going to get beat by at least 30.

At this pace, yes.

[AzCatsFan23]

Our team defense is getting pecker slapped. My God where is the effort?

[CBCat]

There are just no playmakers on this team sans the occasionaly drive by Nic Wise.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

No Swagger. No Leader. Yet.

That, and also I just don't think we have enough talent with our current guys. DWill, Sol and MoMo have great potential...we are 2 players away from being "Arizona" good IMO. McCallum, Jack, Selby, Lamb, Perry...please choose us!!!

[PieceOfMeat]

I would sit every starter, and bring in the scrubs. They could not do any worse and would actually try out there.

Sounds good to me.

Looking like we've mailed it in for the season.

Hrm, I dunno, but they don't look truly motivated out there.

our rebound effort suck, they already have like 10 off rebounds.

sad, isn't it.

+1
Unfortunately, team D is horrible and that directly imapcts our offense. We need recruits...

we need the top 5 recruits in the country, other than that, we're screwed. :lol2:

[EndOfAnEra]

At least we will help make sure ASSu won't win it's FIRST EVER PacX title.

[PieceOfMeat]

5 second violation.

my word, what else can we suck at?

[UAinDC]

really?! another turnover

[EndOfAnEra]

You know everythings messed up when you have 5 sec calls on the inbounds.

[PieceOfMeat]

ball game.

[Zero]

**** Cal.

[AzCatsFan23]

This could be BYU all over again..

[wildcat at ASU]

not sure if my computer will make it through the game

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Sheesh, it feels like the rim is 50 miles wide for them. They are on fire. Of course we aren't guarding much

[CBCat]

The offense. oy

[Rockdoc]

has horne played? (eyes rolling)

[ghostwhitehorse]

Blav for 3!

[pc in NM]

WTF is Williams doing on the perimeter?????

This team appears to be regressing....

Ugh

[chandlerAZcat]

Slo-mo it seems for the CATS....

[PieceOfMeat]

We're horrible in every phase of the game.

D, O, rebounding, inbounding, ball security. for f'cks sake.

[azlax04]

Well...

BLav just covered in RAP.

At this rate, he might be the only one.

[CBCat]

HOrne so hesitant

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Why on Earth would you shoot that Horne?

[Zero]

These guys don't even wanna pass to each other.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

At least BLav is playing well. Glad to see it.

[CBCat]

who's got Lav in rap?

[AZPoker]

BLav saving us

[AzCatsFan23]

our inibility to guard the back-screen is remarkable...

[Farva]

It figures that B-lav would play well in such a downer game, where nothing is on the line.

[CBCat]

Why on Earth would you shoot that Horne?

It's like he got the ball and didn't know what to do with it. So wierd.

[PieceOfMeat]

This team appears to be regressing....


appears to be?

this team has regressed

[Zero]

Lmao Fogg.

[azlax04]

And that's why you don't pass to Kyryl in the lane.

[wildcat at ASU]

wow, fogg is just not playing well. at. all

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

WTFack Kyle. Do you know who you were passing to right there? Oh man.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

It figures that B-lav would play well in such a downer game, where nothing is on the line.

ha!

[jacmull]

appears to be?

this team has regressed
Sadly, both tenses are correct.

[Zero]

Next season I would love to see Jamelle come off the bench.

Start Derrick and Kyryl in the front court. Not like Jamelle plays PF anyway.

[NorCalCat]

Not be a downer, but is there anything that Fogg does better than average for a D-1 2 guard?

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

It's like he got the ball and didn't know what to do with it. So wierd.

Not a basketball player.

[EndOfAnEra]

Miller needs to look BLav in the eye amd say, "Son, take any 3 you want, I swear I won't be mad at cha!"

[CBCat]

And that's why you don't pass to Kyryl in the lane.

Exactly, let's remember we virtually have no productive backup in the post and DWill isn't a 5. Kyryl comes in to give DWill rest and just eat some space. Real problem this year.

Must knock down shots otherwise teams will just pack it in.

[CatintheHeat]

appears to be?

this team has regressed

It's like they haven't even been to a practice. They are broken and don't seem to care anymore. It's like they just want the season to end.

[chandlerAZcat]

That is our team, right???

[UAinDC]

wow this is so much worse than i imagined

[Rockdoc]

i love my team. its painful to see them so bad. like brain lock. no confidence. nothing to play for. something has to be up. hopefully darkest before the dawn (so to speak)

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Not be a downer, but is there anything that Fogg does better than average for a D-1 2 guard?

Tough question.


I just hope DB is as good as advertised. We need a scoring 2g with length.

[PieceOfMeat]

So whats the story with Tree, is he still injured or is Sean pushing him off the roster?

[UAGreg]

Hey look...

it's the Nic Wise disappearing act.

[EndOfAnEra]

Not be a downer, but is there anything that Fogg does better than average for a D-1 2 guard?

Recruit over him?

Selby/Momo at PG
Momo/Lamb at SG

???

[Iningo_Montoya]

Good to see we are continuing our streak of looking terrible on National TV. Can't see how this doesn't hurt recruiting.

Effort has been TERRIBLE on the defensive end.

[Zero]

Fogg used to drive to the lane (UCLA) now him and Horne just hang out on the perimiter watching what happens or chucking jumpers.

[EndOfAnEra]

So whats the story with Tree, is he still injured or is Sean pushing him off the roster?

The latter IYAM

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Wise with 2 bonehead fouls. didn't someone say he was known for hitting a shooter's elbow?

[Zero]

Hahahaha.

[PieceOfMeat]

they have 7 more rebounds than us, and we have 6 more turnovers.

Here ya go cal, have 13 extra possessions.

[Taylor]

So whats the story with Tree, is he still injured or is Sean pushing him off the roster?

He grew roots on the bench.

[Merkin]

So whats the story with Tree, is he still injured or is Sean pushing him off the roster?

Haven't seen anything official, but it seems he is being Judkin'ed to make room for the extra player Miller wants.

[UAinDC]

goddamn it NIC. stop with that elbow ****

[AzCatsFan23]

Randle looks like a little B!tch. Just sayin

[84Cat]

There is the 2-3 zone

[ghostwhitehorse]

Don't. Foul. The. Three. Point. Shooter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

[PieceOfMeat]

The latter IYAM

What's IYAM?

[Zero]

We used ot beat teams like this

[Farva]

i love my team. its painful to see them so bad. like brain lock. no confidence. nothing to play for. something has to be up. hopefully darkest before the dawn (so to speak)


Plus, we're spoiled as fans.. let's face it. 25+ years of making it to the greatest postseason of just about any sport. We've done that without fail for so long. We're just not used to this... Personally though, I'm not shocked by it. I'm not getting all down either. I'm excited for next year.

[azlax04]

The post game board meltdown is going to be something to read.

I'm looking forward to the insults.

[AzCatsFan23]

We couldn't hit water if we fell out of a boat...

[Merkin]

Throw in the towel Miller.

[PieceOfMeat]

He grew roots on the bench.

hmm.

Haven't seen anything official, but it seems he is being Judkin'ed to make room for the extra player Miller wants.

Oh, so miller makes the big quote about how he deserves to play, and then judkins him. great, just what I want in a coach.

[NorCalCat]

The post game board meltdown is going to be something to read.

I'm looking forward to the insults.

**** you.

[CatintheHeat]

The Cats are going to be down by 30 at the half.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

**** Cal.

[84Cat]

These guys are on fire!@

[Zero]

Haha.

[PieceOfMeat]

The post game board meltdown is going to be something to read.

I'm looking forward to the insults.

I'll save ya the wait.

"everybody on this team, players and coaches, looked like shi't tonight".

there.

[azlax04]

**** you.

You must have missed the delicious irony dripping from that statement.

It's ok, I forgive you.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

41 points with 6 minutes left. Christ.

[UAinDC]

im sure our potential recruits love seeing us suck on national TV. "yea selby come play at AZ it'll be great, plenty of national exposure"

[Merkin]

Hey! UA oVer 50% of Cal's score finally.

Comeback time.

[UAinDC]

ha the announcer just said we should pass to Dwill more... YUP

[Farva]

Danica is a hottie...

[Merkin]

im sure our potential recruits love seeing us suck on national TV. "yea selby come play at AZ it'll be great, plenty of national exposure"

At least they don't have to worry about getting minutes at Arizona.

[CBCat]

Would getting drunk help?

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

im sure our potential recruits love seeing us suck on national TV. "yea selby come play at AZ it'll be great, plenty of national exposure"

I'm hoping recruits see it as they'll have a TON of minutes here. We have plenty of space for recruits.

[Merkin]

ha the announcer just said we should pass to Dwill more... YUP

Did Miller take him out and put in Kyryl?

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Wise lol

[PieceOfMeat]

could wise just focus on finishing the layup instead of trying to draw a foul?

[NorCalCat]

You must have missed the delicious irony dripping from that statement.

It's ok, I forgive you.

Just getting a head start on the insults!

I got nothin' but love for you man. But Shakur can go **** himself.

[charcoal01]

Danica is a hottie...

she is terrible and a joke

[Zero]

Cmon Nic.

[CBCat]

man we needed that basket pass it!!!!!!!!!

[ghostwhitehorse]

Cal getting sloppy. . .

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Nice rebound Kryl

[Zero]

Play Momo more.

[PieceOfMeat]

Did Miller take him out and put in Kyryl?

what, you expect the subbing to make sense? Ha!

[Merkin]

Didn't a courtside fan kick the ball before it went out of bounds?

[CBCat]

I'm hoping recruits see it as they'll have a TON of minutes here. We have plenty of space for recruits.

seriously

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Play Momo more.

Agreed. He has IMPROVED as much as ANYONE on the team. Surely, he can't play worse than Nic or Fogg right now

[Farva]

what, you expect the subbing to make sense? Ha!



Williams was still in the game when Kyryl came in. Didn't you just see him before the commercial?

[azlax04]

Just getting a head start on the insults!

I got nothin' but love for you man.

No worries.
Internet disaster avoided.

But Shakur can go **** himself.

While Jamelle Horne watches.

[Rockdoc]

Plus, we're spoiled as fans.. let's face it. 25+ years of making it to the greatest postseason of just about any sport. We've done that without fail for so long. We're just not used to this... Personally though, I'm not shocked by it. I'm not getting all down either. I'm excited for next year.

gotta spread some rep, but i am with you.

[Merkin]

Williams was still in the game when Kyryl came in. Didn't you just see him before the commercial?

Yea, the pass was too DWill that went out of bounds.

[Farva]

Agreed. He has IMPROVED as much as ANYONE on the team. Surely, he can't play worse than Nic or Fogg right now



I think Momo has a good feel for the game, but methinks his basketball IQ isn't very high. So many times, he seems to hold the ball too long.. what he's looking for, I don't know. Especially in the half-court offense, he doesn't exactly "flow" with the offense very well...

[AzCatsFan23]

Solo gets a consistant jumper he is in the running for PAC player of the year in a year or two.

[PieceOfMeat]

Williams was still in the game when Kyryl came in. Didn't you just see him before the commercial?

Ok, williams was left in. I still stand by my comment in general :lol2:

[Farva]

16 pt game...

[Zero]

Hill and Dwill work together nicely.

[Farva]

Ok, williams was left in. I still stand by my comment in general :lol2:



Well that's too bad... I thought we were over the whole "odd substitution" thing way earlier this season.

[Zero]

Momo.

[PieceOfMeat]

Don't look now, we're only down 14!

[Merkin]

I like momo.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

MoMo has improved greatly. His little floater in the lane is great.

[CatintheHeat]

haha. The Cats have played so bad they've put Cal to sleep.

[wildcat at ASU]

she is terrible and a joke

i agree. danicka patrick is not good looking at all

[84Cat]

wow letting them play tonight

[Merkin]

And everyone stands around when Boykin gets the ball. :confused:

[Zero]

Great pass.

[PieceOfMeat]

Well that's too bad... I thought we were over the whole "odd substitution" thing way earlier this season.

Just because one accepts that something is a reality, doesn't mean one has to like it.

For example: Taxes suck. :lol2:

[84Cat]

nice play & pass

[Farva]

i agree. danicka patrick is not good looking at all



Hmmm I wonder what Rey would have to say about this. .

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Good job battling Jamelle!

[Zero]

Good job BLav.

[Merkin]

i agree. danicka patrick is not good looking at all

I don't see her appeal either. She would not get a second look walking around the UA camopus.

[NorCalCat]

Great run. Shakur still sucks.

[84Cat]

Blav for 3!

[wildcat at ASU]

well phuck, we arent playin too bad at all in the past five minutes

[Farva]

12 pt game.. not too bad, considering.

[CatintheHeat]

Only down 12 at the half. I'll take it.

[azlax04]

Stats and RAP coming.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

very nice finish.

hmmm MoMo comes in, and we play better.

[Zero]

I like the fight.

[PieceOfMeat]

Well, ya know, with how bad we played, we're lucky to only be down by 12 at half time.

[CBCat]

Please play Momo lots in the second. Guy has a nose for the basket.
Miller gonna keep subbing and playing that way no matter what.

[AzCatsFan23]

This ellis guy has the largest head i have ever seen... WOW

[84Cat]

We need a 13-2 run to start the 2nd half!

[wildcat at ASU]

I don't see her appeal either. She would not get a second look walking around the UA camopus.

agreed, not a fan

[budd1e_lee]

very nice finish.

hmmm MoMo comes in, and we play better.

It all starts on the defensive end, and Nic plays awful defense.

[Merkin]

very nice finish.

hmmm MoMo comes in, and we play better.

Wouldn't mind Momo and Nic playing the 1/2 starting the second half instead of Fogg. Although BLav deserves to start too.

[wildcat at ASU]

lineup comin outta halftime. momo lav solo dwill and tree. hahaha c'mon

[CBCat]

12 pt game.. not too bad, considering.

I think we were down 20 at one point.

[84Cat]

Wouldn't mind Momo and Nic playing the 1/2 starting the second half instead of Fogg. Although BLav deserves to start too.

Yes, leave Fogg on the bench for the rest game

[Rockdoc]

some guys kept playing and showing heart. gives me a little hope. not for tonight necessarily..

[budd1e_lee]

Wouldn't mind Momo and Nic playing the 1/2 starting the second half instead of Fogg. Although BLav deserves to start too.

Momo and BLav. Defense first.

Don't look now, we're only down 14!

Look what we have become, "...we're only down 14!"

Depressing.

[CBCat]

http://i48.tinypic.com/254zpxh.jpg

Does this include assists and rebounds or just points?

[Farva]

Look what we have become, "...we're only down 14!"

Depressing.


Depressing, but not a shock. Considering..we're in year one with a new coach, and we're on the road playing the #1 team in the conference.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Please play Momo lots in the second. Guy has a nose for the basket.
Miller gonna keep subbing and playing that way no matter what.

Yup.

More MoMo.

Less Fogg.

I can live with MoMo's growing pains.

[AzCatsFan23]

Nic wise has more TO's than points... f'ck me.

[CBCat]

This ellis guy has the largest head i have ever seen... WOW

The way he smiles while he talks, creepy

[azlax04]

Does this include assists and rebounds or just points?

I posted the stats, so you can check my math, but that's full RAP as near as I can tell.

[SCCat]

The only thing I can take from those halftime stats is BLav deserves more time in the second half.

Oh, and that it would be nice if our two upperclassmen would show up so we can win some games, but oh well...

[84Cat]

Depressing, but not a shock. Considering..we're in year one with a new coach, and we're on the road playing the #1 team in the conference.

Also, not many good recruits for the previous 3 years.

[CBCat]

Also, not many good recruits for the prior 3 years.

sure hope DB and Mayes are Miller kind of guys and can hit the J

[AzCatsFan23]

Also, not many good recruits for the previous 3 years.

It could be worse... We could be Indiana.

[EndOfAnEra]

In SMs system, D leads to O. Put Momo in there and BLav at the 2. Nic plays 0 D(I understand why) and Foggy either shuts the guy down or gets his ass kicked by him. Besides, BLav is taller and provides more offense.

BTW, I told ya that BLav could and should drive it!

EDIT: Maybe I posted that in Premium, either way!

[charcoal01]

Nic wise has more TO's than points... f'ck me.

nic wise- not a point gaurd. lol. kidding

[Farva]

sure hope DB and Mayes are Miller kind of guys and can hit the J

Mayes is said to have a good shot, and we've all heard about DB's ability to shoot the 3. The question will be how well they play defense and do other things...

[EndOfAnEra]

It could be worse... We could be Indiana.

Indiana is and will continue to be terrible. Check out their 2010 prospect list, scary.
