    The original trash talking obnoxious Cane

    The Sonics first trips to the playoffs coincided with the Warriors run to the title in the mid 70's. Sonic fans hated Rick. Poured beer on him.

    The 76 title team was awesome as was Rick

    I remember when I was a little kid and dad took me to the Kingdome to see the Sonics play Golden State. For some reason we were waiting in some line near the players' entrance, and Rick Barry walked right past me. He was a wearing a gigantic fur coat. I thought that was a bit of an odd look. But I was also in awe.

    Atta boy Rick.

    Stalin, we? Hurricanes go big or we go home. Doesn't play well in Peoria, and it don't play well up here in the staid PNW. But down in my hometown, we? love it.

    I haven’t watched any of the last 8 games or so. I predicted a bottom third finish over a month ago. Looks like they’ll finish dead last! What an epic cluster of a season. This team is worse than any team Romar ever had which is comically bad

    Honestly, you could have seen this coming after what happened against a pretty flawed Oregon team in the tournament. And that was with guys like Thybulle, who can fucking play and bring it. It was an embarrassing beat-down, and when you have a team like he had last year and THAT happens, you know full well it's a coaching issue.

    There's a reason that Syracuse didn't hurry Boeheim into retirement; they knew Hop wasn't going to be the answer.

    Early in the game last night I thought that Jaden was going to foul out in 15 minutes ... I was wrong ... took 16 minutes

    None of the players besides Stewart have any offensive wherewithal. Tsohonis looks like his ceiling is league average pg.

    It's like Hop only gave a shit about whether a player would fit into his defense.

    Successful teams doing that are the exception, and even the elite ones (Virginia) have had some embarrassing tournament losses.

    Get him out of here.

    Guys like Thubulle, Dickerson, and even Crisp had a few moments early in their careers but were nothing special because they played for a shit coach and had basically quit and we’re running thru the motions.

    We are seeing the same thing. Battle and Tsohonis are possibly good enough to be quality players on a Pac 12 winner, but not alone. They sure as fuck aren’t stars or guys that should be your best players.

    They need to be developed by someone other than Hop and need 5 other good players that we don’t currently have.

    No re-inforcements are coming. Hop maybe thought he could get another high 4 or 5 star player late in the process after they saw Stewart and McDaniels lead UW to the tournament. That didn’t happen. No good grad transfer or recruit is gonna want to come play for the last place team in the PAC 12. Hop gotta go and we all know it.

    At least Romar had the Porter brothers coming. Fuck Basnight for thinking firing Romar was a blunder, but I’m being serious. The Porter brothers, Nowell, and the Stanford PG were more valuable than Hop and the roster we will have next season. Fuck, even this season considering we are dead fucking last in the PAC 12.
    Yeah, he took some risks and they backfired.

    I agree Tsohonis and Battle and maybe Roberts are guys that in a responsible program become pieces at the end.

    The football team was such an embarrassment and it's hard to believe this team is on another level.

    Jesus Christ what the fuck is going on

    Jaden got called for some bullshit ticky tacky fouls it's like the refs were targeting him word to Ed Rush. Jaden had 18 pts, 15 rebs in their first meeting and the Pac 12 couldn't let the UW upset a tournament (NCAA, NIT) bound team. Pac 12 basketball is a business and the refs are doing Larry Scott's bidding. The faster Jaden is in the NBA the better for him because Pac 12 refs are as crooked as they come.

    Mike Hopkins and his Trump Cabinet looking basketball staff need to get the fuck outta Montlake ASAP. Mike Hopkins has 12 staff positions to fill under him as per the UW's men's basketball roster on the UW's official athletic site but has only 2 African Americans on his staff- Conroy and Dollar. At least Romar always had a basketball staff that was diverse, inclusive not exclusive. Mike Hopkins will recruit African Americans recruits (12 of 13 scholarships athletes are African American) but he won't hire them outside of the 2 that he requires to mediate between him and African American recruits.

    If Jaden goes to the NBA after this year, with his current maturity level, he'll be going up/down between the NBA and G-League for the next 2 years minimum. He also will have a good chance of washing out of the league at the end of his rookie contract and turning into an overseas player just like Tony Wroten.

    But go ahead and suck him off like he's this innocent victim that just has had everybody against him all year ... it's an absolute dog shit take.
