Fined for sure. Can’t imagine a suspension. Had a star stepped on it, slipped, and been injured, I could see him suspended 10 games or more. Wildly reckless. Murray stock tanking? Pressure him like crazy and he struggles and gets easily frustrated.

Not like this. Holy shit is this defense incredible.

Nugs done if they don’t come back here? I think so. Gobert is not even playing. This D is crazy. Seems impossible to keep up this intensity for a full series, much less 4 series. But they look like a skillful FSU that just comes at you in waves. And if they can keep this up, who can beat them...

KAT loves to do some dumb fouling. Edwards is incredible. Wolves steal this one and…

Also that 4th quarter of Clips-Mavs was best playoff quarter I’ve seen in a while.

He’s everything they hoped Linsanity was. Knicks fans are awesome. They are a dynamic wing away though, and that’s assuming they were healthy which they are not. If Brunson can make the Knicks “cool”, look out. They have a bunch of assets and Thibs is perfect Knicks coach. Huge offseason...

LeBron is one of the best passers and one of the best scorers of all time. Not having the ball in his hands a bunch with a 24 second shot clock would be stupid. The NBA is just a different game and the guys with the ball in their hands a bunch on good teams are typically incredible playmakers...

Sallis was great last year but if he can’t handle the ball and distribute it at a semi-elite level, he is going to struggle to get a bunch of NBA run. Or, said another way, if he had showcased such skills this year he would be a potential lottery pick. If he showcases them next year, along...

If Sallis comes back the ball needs to be in his hands a ton, both for him and for Wake. Boopie just didn’t pass well or often enough, and while he was a good scorer, he was not a scorer on the level of Sallis. But Sallis often deferred, to his/our detriment, inflating Boopie’s PPG. Not...

I’ll be surprised if Nuggets or Celtics lose more than 4 games before the Finals. Barring injury. West is much tougher but Nuggets are clearly the best team. Assuming they meet in the Finals it should be a good one and Celtics’ 3 point percentage probably decides it. They will have to light it...

Have always wondered why we are supposed to believe that steroids and other performance enhancing drugs weren’t prevalent in NBA at the same time they were prevalent in MLB. The way the average body-type changed from 1984 to 1998 was just remarkable. But a lot of it was bulk to play a physical...

Clips also got Leonard as a result. Injuries have hurt the intended result, but not close to worse trade ever status - either at the time or in hindsight.

Couldn’t we just “get rid” of scholarships for the revenue sports? Have the athletes pay for school with NIL-funded money. Seems like that helps with Title IX compliance issues and saves school money that can still be used for non-revenue scholarships as deemed appropriate. Makes no sense to...

Assuming the ACC is still a thing, and the NIL and transfer rules don’t change, I’ll be shocked if SMU doesn’t win a conference championship in either football or basketball by 2029. I’d bet it is more likely they win at least one in both sports than that they win in neither.
