So I don't have to look it up, anyone know off hand if there's treatment for bone spurs other than rest?

Rest, pain drugs, sometimes requires surgery.

The games on and they show walton instead - crap

 

[cu3x]

5 TOs in 5 minutes.

 

[SpacemanSpiff]

RG with a Freudian slip!

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

Kj Simpson just adds a spark.

 

[Fight CU]

KJ needs a chill pill. He plays out of control ALOT

 

[cu3x]

Let's go Buffs!!

 

[Buffnik]

This is already more fun than the USC game. Just a much more entertaining brand of basketball.

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

KJ needs a chill pill. He plays out of control ALOT

He's fine. He needs to push the ball.

 

[Bourbon Buff]

How much in the way of reefer and Dead & Co. concerts would it take CU to entice Bill Walton to be its sports information director?

Although I guess he does it now for free with a side of Boulder hippie Chamber of Commerce, so, nevermind.

 

[Da Lama]

UCLA is just at a whole different level than any other team that has come through here in the past few years. We’re scrapping though! Keep it up Buffs!!!

 

[torero]

All around horribly officiated game so far. Both ways. UCLA is really damn good. We’ve played way better than against usc but too many turnovers.

 

[buffs233]

Lovering is again completely unplayable. Two turnovers, two fouls and did not make a single meaningful contribution in 5 min on the court.

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

Careless passes. Lazy

 

[Da Lama]

We are so much more active on offense when Kee sits. I’m sorry, but we’re a different team when KJ and even Hammond are on the floor.

 

[Bourbon Buff]

Firing off turnovers like a T-shirt cannon. It's hard to watch sometimes, but this is CU's growth year.

Tad seems resigned to allow this to be a teaching/learning game. You can see it in his demeanor so far.

 

[Buffalo Brad]

Need to find a way to score. Drive like they are doing an maybe we could get foul calls. And we need to keep guys on the floor. Way too many fouls

 

[Buffnik]

Just an awful job with ball security. UCLA gets some credit for that, but the Buffs have to be better.

 

[DBT]

Sloppy passing, poor decisions, etc., etc., etc. When will the light come on for this team?

Next year. Be patient. We played a Final Four contender with 3 Freshman and 2 Sophs most of the half.

That seems wise. He needs to keep the core elements of this team together for the future. Screaming like a drill sergeant at a bunch of pups playing against an elite-ish NCAA team is not going to pay dividends. Tad is a good coach with vision. He has brought in talent, but most of us knew this would be a gap year. We need a couple of parts. This will all pay off.

 

[Hallett Hell]

14 turnovers. Plus all the fouls (bogus or not). That’s the story of the first half. Better get that fixed.

 

[Bourbon Buff]

Or what Da Lama said.

 

[AEROBUFF]

Watching Lawson play is painful. He has no confidence left. He can't even rebound anymore. I'll be the first admit that I have no idea how to develop college basketball players, but I hope you guys are right about him. I also hope growing pains this season don't completely crush his confidence.

 

[DBT]

Next year. Be patient. We played a Final Four contender with 3 Freshman and 2 Sophs most of the half.

Yeah. We should take a giant step forward next year with Allen and Hurlburt joining along with the growth of the young guys.

 

[ZandiBuff]

This team is so ****ing lost on offense it's rediculous.

No plan, no flow, no effort.

Lazy passes, turnovers, horrible shot selection.

No follow on bad shots.

****ing straight trash.

 

[DBT]

I do think Lovering looks more confident tonight.

 

[ZandiBuff]

14 turnovers. Plus all the fouls (bogus or not). That’s the story of the first half. Better get that fixed.

How do we fix pac 12 refs?
