@FloridaBBHour Y’all have laid out well what Pullin and Clayton offer offensively and how that factors in to playing time/lineups. What do you think about those 2 specifically, and about this roster as a whole, on the defensive side of the ball? Seems like that may be Todd’s calling card.

[Sam Winemiller @sam_winemiller]

@FloridaBBHour With the addition of Lofton, it seems like UF has the potential to be really nasty on defense. In the past y’all talked about Golden’s tailoring of defense for opponents. What are some strategies you expect to see us employ on defense to maximize talent on that end?

[Sam Winemiller @sam_winemiller]

@FloridaBBHour @MalikG I guess we don’t have all the info about Felder’s health, but given Golden’s comments about rebounding & Felder’s 3pt% last year, I’m wondering if he wouldn’t lean toward a little more beef in the front court? Maybe bumps Wacie to 3, Richard/Lane to 2?

[Sam Winemiller @sam_winemiller]

@FloridaBBHour From previous pods, it sounds like the offense is likely to feature a big as a distributor. Do you think we have that player on the roster?

Based on the roster as is, how do you expect Golden & staff adjust offensive scheme to feature the roster’s strengths?

One of the very earliest sport sociologists, still fighting for racial justice 52 years after his leading role in the Olympic Project for Human Rights in 1968. How much has changed? Color-blind racism (Bonilla-Silva, 2017) continues to plague us.

Well put, my Brother! And in fact the question has escalated precisely BECAUSE America never answered it: “Why should we perform as athletes ignoring the unimpeachable /undeniable fact and fear that we are in danger of being profiled and SHOT TO DEATH on way to/from every game!

@pastorjesseck Pinegrove’s album this year was pretty great I thought. @AmickDaniel is resident Pinegrove expert

@zsmith78 Important things that no one wants to hear haha

@stevewinemiller Important! Cheering for her

@AaronPellot I hear ya there. Kinda betting on him just being happier and thus better anywhere but Memphis maybe, but that’s a gamble for 30+ big man. I doubt it moves the needle for Kawhi, or even leaves TOR with a better situation going forward if he scoots this summer

[Sam Winemiller @sam_winemiller]

@AaronPellot I see some pros and cons for TOR - you don't like getting older with Gasol?

[Kevin Pelton @kpelton]

The Monstars may have made a mistake in picking two centers and two natural power forwards for their starting 5. Add in a 5-foot-3 point guard and their lineup lacked switchability.

God knows I try to be positive on here but the fact is the pizza at the New England Aquarium cafeteria is not excellent.

Louis CK is a good reminder that when people with power ask for respect it’s called “civility” and is sacred, but when people without power ask for respect it’s called “political correctness” and is the butt of jokes.

Even more important than the warmth and affection we receive, is the warmth and affection we give. It is by giving warmth and affection, by having a genuine sense of concern for others, in other words through compassion, that we gain the conditions for genuine happiness.
