    LAMAR IS PLAYING HORRIBLE RIGHT NOW. AND GASOL IS REALLY PLAYING LIKE A GIRL. THESE 2 NEED TO STEP IT UP. I LIKED HOW LAMAR LOOKED AT THE END OF THE GAME WHEN HE WAS GOING TO THE HOOP (ALTHOUGH HE MISSED HIS LAYUPS). HE NEEDS TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT IF WE’RE GONNA WIN THE ‘SHIP. SERIOUSLY!

    i was listening to the herd this morning and colin cowherd remembers odom from his high school days in new york and nevada. he said something poignant about odom. he said that as far as can remember lamar, he’s always been the guy with a huge amount of talent that continues to let people down. he rarely plays to his potential. and i’m beginning to see that now.

    Note to Andrew: Good job! DBricks also did a good job. But Andrew, you should speak a little bit louder on the mic. I could barely hear you. But I heard DBricks loud and clear

    Decent job but I really feel you should add one more person in there. You have varsity as the host with most of the questions, you have dbricks with a great voice and knows the game although, i think you need one more guy to fill in the gaps, like a guy with the interesting stats like steve hartman, or even a gimick guy like vic the brick or petros, or you could have like a former ball player or something, or a high school coach. Thats all im saying. And varsity really needs to talk into the mic more, and also not ask so many questions as if he is interviewing, he should act as if he is talking to us, not as if he is in a casual conversation. Other than that, really good job guys….not many people can pull it off but you guys did it and will only get better with every show, keep it up and keep adding more content, possibly contests, or guests.

    Thats all
