OT, but ASVEL Basket (Lyon-Villeurbanne)'s president is Tony Parker (who is also the majority owner). Nic Batum not only a major investor but also the president of basketball operations. Tony's brother T.J. is the coach. Giannis' brother Kostas is on the team.
Talking about being in an exhausted fog right after winning that he missed most of the champagne celebration, trophy photos and postgame party…
Then talked about Game 5 and 6. They felt they had the series after Game 3. The biggest shot of the series was Poole’s 3 at the end of Q3 Game 5 because BOS had taken the lead than then lost it again.
Guys, Poole averaged 23.4 points, 5.2 assists and 4.1 rebounds in 23 games after the All-Star Game this season. We have a straight up All Star coming off the bench and he's incredibly fun to watch as well.
Can anyone recommend a basketball game (could be college, even) that:
- is a strategy game, not arcade
- can run on my potato pc
- is currently available on Steam
(if one exists)
I have a feeling the basketball withdrawal this summer and fall is going to be particularly intense, especially with glimpses of Wiseman and some of the rookies in Summer League.
Now that Steph’s in the greatest of all time conversation alongside MJ and LeBron I think it’s timely and only fair that he now gets his own animated feature. I think something along the plot lines of a Freaky Friday might work where you’d have Steph wake up one morning before the start of the 2027 Playoffs (his beard gone all gray) and he’s in Kuminga’s body. The fun begins from there. 🙃
This might be more anti-Bouknight than pro-Rollins but what is the case for drafting Bouknight #11 in a strong draft and taking Rollins #44 in a weak one?
-Stats-wise (per 40 since Bouknight played fewer games) I think you could easily argue Rollins was better in college, higher assist to turnover ratio and more steals and the other numbers look similar.
-Both players have a similar weakness with 3 pointers despite promising FT%s.
-Both guys knocked for their defensive effort in scouting reports.
-Rollins was a month from turning 20 at the time of the draft, Bouknight was a few months from turning 21.
-Bouknight is a bit bigger, Rollins is a bit longer.
-Bouknight played in a better conference.
-Bouknight is a better athlete.
-Rollins has a low release point on his shot.
I suppose the difference comes down to the athleticism difference? I am not convinced. I want to see Rollins go against Year 2 Davion Mitchell at the Cali Classic because Bouknight got absolutely swallowed up by him last summer (Mitchell is elite on the ball, obviously).
Oops, reposting here from last thread for discussion purposes:
The comments from the silverscreenandroll link from last thread were def. entertaining, but there was an interesting point made, which I'm going to reframe for y'all to see what DubNation thinks:
If Kerr had never joined the Dubs, would they have won any championships?
Let's start with scenario A) Mark Jackson stays on as head coach fo the Dubs for the 2015-2019 years. Does he ever lead them to a 'chip?
And then scenario B) Let's give MJ one year, and then he's fired. Who's hired next (not Kerr), and is there a 'chip in those years?
Any news on the California classic roster? Wondering if I should spend 80 bucks or not
I died 🤣

And there's also this Victor Wembanyama guy.
Athletes and politics? Overturn of Roe v. Wade constitutes a huge loss for all men and women, for all athletes. Which athletes have spoken out?

And, by the way, has everyone forgotten Brittney Griner? February she was incarcerated.

Has anyone heard/read any theories for why Liddell fell to 41?
Interesting note that the warriors allegedly tried to move up to 30 to get Rollins... I wonder if that means they had him over Nembhard?

How are we Warriors fans so lucky!
Rumors:
- Harden opting in this year, and then signing a 2-yr extension.
- Wall to be bought out and sign with Heat, Clippers, or Lakers.
Way OT:

Detroit out on Brunson (leaving only Knicks)?
Who do we want weakened more, Phoenix or Dallas?
