Hey, it's on MY Pac 12 network... Go Bears!
(#823 on my Comcast in East Bay)
You've got to hand it to Thiemann, picking right up where he left off last season.
LOL. Kelly lost weight. We have a shooter in Betley. Looks like we are going to be rebounding challenged.Big C said:

Joel with two steals in a row. That could be a huge part of his game.
Ugh Kelly blows a jam and ball goes out of bounds. That right there is 2020.
Bentley can shoot the rock.
Where are you turkeys? At least KoreAm and I are here!
Starters were Joel Brown, Matt Bradley, Ryan Betley, Grant Anticevich and Lars Thiemann.
Lots of players have subbed in. Betley has a sweet stroke. The other GT, Makale Foreman, can play, too.
I was hoping that Joel Brown might've spent some time working on his shooting while in quarantine this year. I guess not
Down 36-31 at half. Not looking all that great, but hell, we're playing!
He looks too hesitant to shoot already. That's gotta change.NYCGOBEARS said:

Foreman looks like he can play. Bowser looks like a freshman lol. Not sure if Celestine has played?

Yeah, same with Thiemann and his "hands of stone" (which worked great for Roberto Duran, but this is different).
Unless the guy guarding Theiman is quite a bit shorter, he gets stuffed every time. Where isThorpe?
Go Bears!
We don't have much speed or athleticism outside of Joel Brown and Matt (more strength). Kelly missed that jam like he barely got to the rim. Looks like we have to win playing half court ball on O again. Which is fine that's who we are.
Players who got in the game in the first half (besides the five starters):
Andre Kelly
Makale Foreman
Dimitrios Klonaras
Kuany Kuany
Monty Bowser
(the last three weren't in for long)
With NYC and Oskidunker now here, that makes four of us: We could start a Zoom Barbershop Quartet!
Klonaras looks slow but I think he has some skills.
I guess Ashley Adamson is the new Mike Yam. I like Earl Watson. Who knew Earl Watson and Matt Barnes would be media guys after they were done. I really like Matt Barnes in All the Smoke. Not sure if he ever apologized to Shantay though for that clothes line.

There's no work going on, we need more to join us.Big C said:

Felt like we were outplayed and shot poorly (40% and 27% from 3), but we are only down 5 at half. Looks like a typical first game. After missing a few from underneath, Kelly seemed to get mad and turned it up a bit - even though he did miss that dunk. Fox said on the pre-game show that they were behind in installing much of their defense, and it showed.
One more here but I'm mostly watching the women's game.
Actually I wish he had hands of stone. It looks to me like hands of butter.Big C said:NYCGOBEARS said:

That transfer from Nicholls State is a stud. Glad he's not there when we play him at home lol.

Did he have to sit out a season?
No the announcers just said he got his waiver granted. Another one. Meanwhile Hyder sits.NYCGOBEARS said:KoreAmBear said:

How many wasted trips we gonna have throwing it into Lars?
Damn I thought Bentley might be magic and not miss the entire year like he's the lead in a Matt Christopher book.
Not that anything I say has any weight, but I felt I needed to finish my bottle of wine before posting.
Good we are not.
Just live streamed. Badly. After getting up 23-10 we're now behind.Quote:

Time for some whiskey.

You got a whiskey bottle backup?

Great minds....
Can hardly watch. We "look" like a D3 team. Cal really screwed up hiring such an incredibly boring coach like Fox. Will check in next season lol!
I still have some HibikiNYCGOBEARS said:KoreAmBear said:
