KUGRDON Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Been a while since I've been a fan of Thompson, and this doesn't change that, but a nice quarter by any account: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Hail Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 A nice quarter is a bit of an understatement. I was there and I've never seen anything like what I saw last night. 13/13 from the field and 9/9 from 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUGRDON Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Blew up. Why not a fan? History. Suspensions for missing team buses and pot bust. Nobody (maybe some hyperbole) ever got less from a lottery pick than WSU got from Thompson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Shabazz Muhammed? Nerlans Noel? Jeol Embiid? Kyrie Irving? Some hyperbole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 noel wasn't bad. when did he get hurt? I thought he collected some individual hardware at the end of the season. when don said that I initially thought of zach lavine. klay had some off court issues, but he also came in at the tail end of the bennett era after the talent left, and then had to endure ken bone. I thought he made wsu watchable for three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he made wsu watchable for three years. Yeah, I remember going to a Cal game and watching Klay put up 35+ points while hitting a ridiculously far 3 to send the game into overtime. Wazzu had nothing around him and so he was forced to do what he could with that awful team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUGRDON Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 For what its worth, most Cougs are pleased as punch with Klay. I just got off his bandwagon a while back and don't plan on climbing back on. I don't root against him, am not bummed out with his success, just don't care much. The only reason I mentioned my lack of enthusiasm with Klay is to avoid the criticism that I was jumping on the bandwagon. All that said, I'd much rather cheer Taylor Rochestie's performance in the EuroLeague. No missed buses, no drug busts, no team violations, surrendered his scholarship so the Cougs could get another player, improved the games of his teammates and engine never stopped running.

KUGRDON Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Listened to a Klay postgame interview. . .have to say I'm warming to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Hail Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Listened to a Klay postgame interview. . .have to say I'm warming to him. Not a chance. People never mature from college and thus we should hold grudges against any young person who dares to make a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUGRDON Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 So yeah, not caring what he does is holding a grudge? LOL, I guess you gotta sniff the jock and be happy or you're a hater. And yeah, most people are basically who they were at 5 let alone 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've taken so many random cheap shots at him on this board and now you're claiming there's no grudge. Okay, sure. I've learned that When you twist my point it's your way of agreeing.

KUGRDON Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 I think most of what I stated was fact and then only after being asked why I'm not a "fan", but we each have our opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
