Rivera goes end to end with head down, never looks at a teammate, and tosses up an absolutely shitty shot. Then he comes back down and turns it over. That’s why the dude drives me crazy.

Curry having one of his better games in a while, living in that mid range, more in control than usual.

The two biggest Rivera haters have awoken since its his first not so great game in a some time - you guys are a joke

I can’t believe there’s grown men who just wait for players to play poorly to shit on them to prove that they are “right” - miserable fucks, we are up 20

It’s a team game! Feels great to see this team up 20 and getting another big W! Let’s go UMASS

After how non-con went, the team deserves credit for the 3-3 league record. No one would’ve been surprised if they folded. Still very limited shooting, but they’re playing a hard aggressive brand of basketball. Keep making it hard on your opponents and hope for the best.

Team defense and doing it without fouling were worlds better than the Fordham game, and far better than typical for this team. Well done.

Yes, I hate him. Hate. And, I wait for him to play poorly. Busted. Dude, relax. Really. Relax. He played poorly and two “haters” pointed it out. But, yes, it is a TEAM game, which just might explain precisely why we get frustrated and have doubts about River’s overall value (besides the stats you like to cite). I think they generally play better as a TEAM when he’s not on the floor. Has there been games he has played well? Of course.

Now, if you want to wrap that all up as hate, well, you go for it. Just maybe tell us why you seem completely wired tight about this one particular player. It’s weird.

So glad he was feeling it, it was amazing how often LaSalle let him get to that exact same spot on the floor.

Such a weird game, how often do you see a team blow a 15 point lead all the way to tied and then end up winning by 22? That definitely
shows fortitude to withstand that run and then seize momentum back.

Malek had some nice minutes early, but sealed his fate with that early shot clock 3 attempt (he was open).

Total domination after La Salle cut it to 2. Not going to complain about how this game went.

Excellent stretch run led by Curry and Ndjigue. DHS played well today. Diggins was steady and short rotation seemed to work well. Closing like they did was VERY unexpected.

Loved the big run to close it out after LaSalle came within 2!

-miserable fucks, we are up 20
…and, btw, it was 59-57 with the game in the balance when us “miserable fucks” made our comments, not piling on the hate with a 20 point lead. At least get that right if you’re going to claim we all just lie in wait ready to trash him.

Jayden's line today: 9 pts, 4-5 FG, 1-1 from 3, 13 boards (career high), 3 assists, 5 blocks (career high), +35 :shock:

Really nice game from him after he didn't do much at Fordham the other day, and got chewed out by Frank.

Lots of heart shown in second half and glad to see much driving to the hoop. WIth the exception of a few late game 3's, I wince when they put them up.
