    It's a disappointment since he was the main ball-handler for WSU in his last year there.

    Xfinity is one of the options it gives when it askes me to choose my cable provider. Weird.

    Faried is one of the worst defenders though.

    His defense looks good. That is what I mostly care about. He's asked to do too much on this team. But on the actual roster he's a bit player that shoots spot ups and plays hard on defense. I can see why he's drawn to Norm. Both were drafted 46. Both not heavily recruited out of high school. Both need to work really hard on their shot.

    They even signed the same contract in their rookie season. 2 years guaranteed without a 3rd or 4th year option. Hopefully some of Norm's work ethic is rubbing off on Elleby. Norm also couldn't shoot his first few years.

    My God I despise these announcers. It's the same old Doris Burke show. Not one single iota of basketball analysis. Just constant diarrhea of the mouth talking about everything she can think of that's completely unrelated to the game going on in front of her. It drives me crazy. It's the same reason I completely stopped watching MLB decades ago. I could not stand Bob Costas and Tim McCarver talking and talking and talking and talking while I was trying to watch a fucking baseball game. GAHHH!

    Ellerbes shot hasn’t developed at all since last year. It’s not even that he’s missing. He’s missing BAD.

    Dafuq?!?!?! Ellerby with yet another airball. Is he shooting with his off hand to mix it up a little?

    I haven't seen a shot yet from CJE even hit rim, much less come close to going in.

    I didn't even notice him because I was so furious with the Elleby airball. He's terrible.

    Hopefully they sign Brown to a contract longer than 2 years. Dude needs time. There's no ROI on a 2 year deal for him.

    Elleby shoots 5 airballs then hits the toughest shot of the night. Figures.
