left to right, cole "surfer dude" welle, koko "sweet azz shooting stroke" kurdoghlian, nick "the smartest bear of them all" hamilton, roman "all the way up" davis & dontae "chief noc a homa" coleman
perfect sunny saturday afternoon at haas pavilion attended by true california golden bears fans with palpable love throughout the building...a special shout out to coach martin for remembering the slow & the forgotten, the walk ons nick, koko & cole...we are all rescue walk ons
much love to grant mullins who is back in burlington canada showing respect to his grandmother who has passed on, we are all living on borrowed time here on planet earth & it's imperative that we tell those that we truly love what's in our hearts & live each day with relentless passion pursuing our dreams...travel arrangements will be made for grant to fly from canada's east coast to hawaii if that's what he's ready to do
the most exciting play of the game was charlie's fueled up entry lob pass dime to young ivee that ignited the bears faithful, that magical play is worth more than 2 points as it gets all of ivan's teammates, coaches & staff on their feet along with the fan base screaming from the rooftops...let's continue to look for those opportunities, it's a gameday momentum shifting play
awesome to see cole battling for 6 points on a perfect 3 for 3 field goals plus 3 boards & shooting the aptos pipeline in his 5 minutes & roman scoring his 1st points (3 in total) as a california golden bear, he's got nba athleticism & once his practice shooting work ethic catches up with his elite god given talents davis is gonna be a pretty special player
brandon chauca told me his last cast has been replaced this week with a smaller cast, if he's not ready to roll in the near future, he might blueshirt this season...he's thrilled his parents are gonna be in the islands, he hasn't seen them since july...chauca trivia fact: he used to play the violin back in the day
the team leaves tomorrow at 4:00 pm for honolulu, everybody all aboard the love train
aloha baby

Did anyone think that Charlie was guilty of charging on that play?

[SIZE=5]coleman played his best game today, with 10 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block...but more importantly, playing more under control, or in his words, 'not always going 100 miles an hour and not just going up wild and crazy"[/SIZE]

Glad to see you post this HoopDreams...I really liked him getting the minutes necessary to allow for a few mistakes without getting pulled immediately....Coleman can help this team on the offensive end and lord knows we can use all the offensive help we can get...More minutes before conference will pay off in the end IMO....he still had his moments when you say "slow the **** down" but he looked a lot more comfortable this afternoon...

a couple of minutes into the game there's an inbounds play for the bears & i tell young ivee "demand the ball, impose your will, #30 can't guard you, let's do this ivan"
#30 6'7" 265 lbs senior marquis vance looks right at me & says "bull****"...i can tell mrs spieker isn't impressed with mr vance's choice of words
so ivan takes gets the ball off the high low, vance physically puts a body on rabb who probes the middle but there's nothing there so cal's 2017 nba lottery pick spins towards the baseline & cleanly knocks down a 12 footer...2 points for the bears
young ivee scored a career high 26 points on a ridiculous 10-12 fields & a smooth 6-7 free throws along with 7 boards, 2 assists & only 1 turnover
ivan, marquis vance should shut the **** up, what's his resume, he's a male stripper

Shocky, we are so grateful for your tutelage of Ivan. I am sure I also speak for Cuonzo, in recognizing how lost Rabb would be without you.

princeton tigers (2-3) held the lead for much of their road game in richmond due to a scorching 47.1% (8 of 17) on 3 pointers but the 19 turnovers & only 26 rebounds caught up to them in getting head butted 81-70 by the vcu rams...the bears gotta gameplan to play disciplined d to prevent the backdoor cuts, close out on the tigers 3 point shooters & own the boards vs the smaller princeton squad in hawaii...in a perfect world (and trust me cal basketball is not linear) none of the bears starters would play more than 25 minutes & would get fresh legs for them seton hall pirates the next day
cal plays princeton in the opening game of the pearl harbor classic on tuesday december 6th at 2:15 pm local time...that's perfect, i'll be the 1st guy out in the morning for a brisk walking 18 holes at waialae country club (the diamond head classic unfortunately doesn't have much seth raynor architectural features anymore due to the pga tour's constant tinkering but the views & aesthetics are stunning), get to the bears game early for warm ups/review with coach martin the gameplan & then after the game dine on bigeye tuna sashimi salad with matsuhusia dressing & teriyaki waygu beef with caviar at nobu waikiki...no way i'm gonna go to a boring azz loo al unless cole, brandon & nicky ham promise to volunteer for the fire breathing thing with torches & **** like that
roadtrip to the islands (this is cal basketball)#

Oh Shocky, how could you.
Disillusionment, doubt, uncertainty clouds my mind, why Great Golden Grammar Bear WHY?!
Send forth your NSFW brunettes to cleanse this travesty of internet.
Shocky1;842773159 said:
ok, listen up, you got a 4:00 pm flight today to the island, here's a couple of travel tips (but ignore the **** re: michael jackson, he's a criminal)
make sure you bring your swimming trunks too, ok...wearing basketball gear in the ******* pacific ocean is a fashion disaster, be better than that...and sammy make sure you bring some extra sun screen, ok?...you don't wanna look like a red lobster at the loo al

Shocky, with the way injuries have piled up maybe Coach should only let the guys go in the shallow end and they have to keep the blue and gold floaties on at all times...

in that both ivan rabb & jaylen brown were/are both avid readers of cal's monster class, their recruitments by me to berkeley were achieved with minimal assistance from the staff
