Here's your game thread for the late Pac-10 tournament game. Watch not-Pac-10-player-of-the-year Quincy Pondexter and not-Pac-10-player-of-the-year Landry Fields go one-on-one to earn the chance to face Cal for an NCAA trip tomorrow.
Both conventional and unconventional wisdom dictate that Washington should cruise to victory. They beat Stanford by 17 and 33 in the regular season and held Landry Fields below 20 points both times. But everybody (me included) thought the Cardinal would fall easily to Arizona St., so who knows? Kenpom says UW will win by 9 with 79% chance of victory.
Most are assuming that a UW win would safely put them into the field of 65, but they'll still want to win against Cal tomorrow to stay on the safe side. And thank goodness Cal won, because I can relax and enjoy watching these two teams wear each other out before tomorrow's game. I'll be pulling for UW, but getting a chance to go 3-0 on Stanford is pretty enticing...

Wow
Leland Stanfurd was the founder of Pacific Life. Did not know that.

Really?
Three minutes gone and it’s still 2-2?
Ugggggghhhhhhh. God.
Fire Starkey. You... complete me.
besides not rooting for stanfurd, I’m not tempting the juju by demanding to play them one more time. I know how this script ends.

’Furd has a chance to win it if they keep the score under 20.

Uh-oh, ’Furd is down by FIVE now. That may just be insurmountable.

Giants pitching coach Dave Righetti. "I treat Timmy differently from most pitchers: I leave him alone."
Bengie Molina: "I don't understand why they didn't want to commit to another year, with my numbers and my experience and things like that." Brain Sabean: "He's certainly welcomed back with open arms".

So ’furd has twice as many turnovers as field goals right now?

I’ve never seen men’s basketball look so pathetic.

Where do you fall on the trade/don’t trade Ellis debate, RRS?
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
Not RRS
but my two cents:
I kind of want to trade him, but I don’t trust the management to get any value in return – they would trade him just for the sake of trading him.
I'll answer for him
DON’T TRADE ELLIS. One of the only exciting components of a team that has been ravaged by injuries and a style that lend itselfs to a bashing on the boards and the opponent’s place on the scoreboard, Monta Ellis is explosive and special. I don’t think he is a finished product and I certainly don’t think the backcourt tandem of Ellis and Curry is final product. I think this team can have both in the backcourt and be competitive if they can get a plus-rebounder and a lowpost scorer.
What did i tell you...didn't I say they would win? Yeah that's right I did didn't ? Wait.. what? They LOST?!?!?
Ellis
To be honest with you, I think we need to move him. He’s an elite scorer, but his true shooting percentage is just around 52 percent. That’s not very good. Curry performs better without him on the court. The ball moves more. I want some size next to Curry at guard. Draft Evan Turner, get your big men healthy and I think this team is better off without Monta. When he was injured, I didn’t really miss him. I don’t think he adds much to this team.
At the end of the day, this is another issue within an issue. First, Cohan needs to sell the team. Next, we need a new head coach. After that, we can look at the talent and see who needs to stay or who needs to go.

The game has turned from ugly to boring

just got home from the game...
maybe the worst men’s basketball game I’ve ever been to. Except for a HUGE dunk by the UW center towards the end of the game, this game was sloppy and boring. Thankfully, the Cal victory was so sweet I could think about that and forget about the game i was watching…
