If you feel condescended, that's on you for feeling that way. I just pointed out the obvious, which you literally asked for. So I would take all that up with yourself, big guy.
Outside your head you condescended to me when you wrote:

“I feel odd having to explain something so simple to what I imagine is another adult.”

I appreciate the projection though. Decent entertainment value.

That's not condescending. It was a fact based in how elementary the logic behind it was.

Again, if you took it as condescending, that is pointing to an insecurity you're going to have to deal with, not me.

1996 clears 2015, but we also lost Poythress in 2015. Plus Cal puckered up.

Healthy roster with Pitino coaching and 2015 wins the championship pretty easily. Maybe let’s them lose a game during conference so he can peel the paint off the walls.

100%. Now that Calipari is gone one of my favorite things to do is pay as close attention as I can to him on the sideline. He gets scared out of his mind lol. That elite 8 game last year was epic. When they came all the way back Calipari had one of the best puckered expressions I’ve ever seen him have. I always cut it on if I see him losing, I am
petty.
I don't disagree that we are those things this year, but we don't have to expect or whine anytime someone doesn't agree with that. Obviously, as fans, we are going to be a little more biased to our team. Doesn't mean we are right or wrong, but we still have to prove it. Many will be bullish until we do. I don't see an issue with that.

Yea I think we’ve just got one of those fanbases that’s so in love with our team we feel we need to defend it. Also Kentucky has been universally hated as we’re a southern team who was the first to dominate the sport, and much of the media are east coach / northeast guys. I think it’s been ingrained in us over decades. It’s to the point where media heads know hey, throw shade at them and they’ll take it personal. Im not really taking it personal, but I do feel the need to protect the program in a strange way I guess. Maybe because I grew up all UK out of state constantly around a bunch of rival fans. It’s like a button when it’s pushed….

I think a lot of these things are what makes UK’s fanbase so great. I’m proud that we’ve got and are known as one of the great fanbase in sports history, in any league or level.

Ya know. Things like needing to think people who disagree with you are stupid. Little d things. You do it with style bruh I’m seriously impressed.
I think people are stupid because they disagree with me? Since when?

You seem confused, bro. Like, are you sure I don't think you're stupid simply because you asked for something very elementary in logic be explained to you?

How am I projecting it if you're the one bringing it up and bothered by it?

Did you by chance ride a shorter school bus than most of the other kids when you were in school?
You make errors like this and make yourself look clueless because you’re vicious and too eager to insult your fellow man. Which in turn is because you’re monstrously insecure. In all seriousness I hope you get it sorted out. Best of luck 🤞🏻

Lol, you're literally proving my point!

Where did I call you stupid for disagreeing with me?

Insecure about what? You're not making any sense. Lulz.

Dude doesn't know ball. It's been obvious for a bit. Either that or he DOES know ball and is just being a twit for clicks. Which is even WORSE imo.
Both of those can be true at the same time...in fact, the majority of these "twits" have no clue about ball and are all poking for clicks.

There’s a lot of basketball people who seem to be stuck in the traditional way of thinking that the roster must be reduced down to a 7 or 8 man rotation by the end of the year to be successful.

I have never agreed with that. There’s no magic formula that must be followed to be successful.. To me teams that play a 7 to 8 man rotation do so mainly because that’s the extent of their quality depth. (Not because that’s the most efficient.) A school like Kentucky typically has an advantage in that they can recruit quality depth well beyond that.

Whether they use that depth is a different question. John Calipari for example I never thought really worked to utilize the bench to its full extent, and that often came to bite him in the end when starters got injured or in foul trouble etc. late in the season and their loss couldn’t be overcome.

Mark Pope I think is much more willing to develop his entire bench and to play a more balanced and deeper rotation. That will pay dividends in the long run as it makes for a more durable team with a much higher ceiling.
couldn't have said it better myself, well said, kudos JP !
