I subscribed to the eagle on a groupon deal and it cost me $55.00 for the online account for a year. A little over a buck a week is worth it.

Joerg,
I don't pay for ESPN+. I simply go to a sports bar (most have it), and put away a few "burbon" while watching the Shox. If we are playing badly, I put away a lot!

We are spoiled having him... Make no mistake about that. Very few beat writers put the work in that he does.

I understand not wanting to pay full price for an Eagle subscription just to read his articles. I usually just subscribe/cancel before and after bball season.
I’m willing to pay for things I consider valuable. He really does a great job and is worth every penny.
He recently advertised a deal on his Twitter account that allowed access to sports only for like 3 months for...I don’t know, less than five dollars. It was crazy cheap. Might check that out if you’re interested.

I'm all for required reading as long as it's not being a paywall.

I don't care as much about the numbers if the effort is there. Too many of Houston's offensive boards had our guys just standing and watching. Or at least too many of our guys. No effort to put a body on someone. In some cases, guys didn't even make an effort for the ball. Those are the things that have to be fixed to win games like this. Putting forth effort, regardless of execution, shouldn't be too much to ask for.

Winnable game last night, with more production from our frontline players who knows. Still see a lot of positives as far as athletic ability with our core players, and our chemistry looks better than last year. Dex had his best game of the year and PoorBear had some good minutes. We proved we can play with Houston and if we keep away from extended scoring droughts we win. Need to take care of Cinncy this weekend

One of the things that drives me nuts is when Poor Bear shoots one of his jump shots---10-15 feet away or more. He shoots the shot and then holds his pose with arms high above his head...when he should follow his shot. And, even if the ball were to come back towards him, he's not ready to rebound.

With the inconsistencies inside, I'd like to see those playing well be rewarded for that game, and maybe given the first chances in the next. Mo has had some games where he's played well and Poor Bear hasn't. Poor Bear has played better than Mo at times. Jo has had games where he looked pretty good but then gets lost on the bench even if the other two are bad that night. I just don't understand the logic behind it.
It's one thing if Tyson has an off night or is struggling, as he's proven himself to be consistent if not dynamic more often than not and still contributes elsewhere. Mo, Poor Bear and Jo have not accomplished that. Find what works on any given night and run with it. And Jo is easily the best passing of our bigs and it's not even close. Mo is a black hole and he's not good enough offensively to get away with that. Poor Bear is finding himself. My biggest issue with him is he doesn't play strong and doesn't do well with contact. And if that's who he is, that's fine. But if he can find his fit where he can contribute somewhat consistently, he and the team will be better off. I think Jo easily has the most upside and needs court time to get there. I think Mo has more to offer, but I'm not sure if we'll ever see it or not. I think he could be a solid backup for us, but we don't have a solid starter yet and that's a problem. Though he has a ways to go to get to solid backup status in my mind and may very well never reach his ceiling.

There were definitely times we could have done better on the boards but I don't think you get those statistical results against a team like Houston if the effort isn’t there for most of the game.
Of course the point still stands that it needs to be there on every possession to beat a team like that.
Both transition defense and rebounding have improved significantly since game 1. If we continue on this trajectory I think there is a good chance we finish top 3 and are in the at large convo.
