Sometimes when you go back and re-watch the classics, you pick up on things that you didn’t notice the first time. It was probably easier for Boat to hit that stepback over Julius Randle after Randle lost his arms, for example. Still a great shot though.

Plus 14-0 in tournaments. I imagine that was the best ever (due to the 5-0). Would require winning two regular season tournaments to reach that.

First one was just a really weird 1-in-a-million unforced one where he was trying to throw an uncontested pass near the sideline to set upthe offense early in the shot clock … and a second Spurs player ran into the passing lane. Ball ended up out of bounds.

Harrison Barnes has missed 17 three pointers in a row, and I swear 15 of them must be off Steph passes. Turns out it’s not much of a stats watching game since the Spurs are going 11 deep on the front end of a back to back (and after the Cup final Tuesday). In Atlanta tomorrow and then another...

Could be a stats watching night. Castle with 7-2-2 after 6 minutes and just looks dialed in and aggressive. But we’ll see.

Mahaney with a good bounce back game with 18 on 7-12 shooting - but it came in a 3-point loss to the Green Bay Fightin’ Gottliebs.

I always want to crack a "Hold Me Now" or "Lay Your Hands On Me” joke when someone writes something like this.

As a freshman, Pierce pulled down 16 boards in an ncaa win over Missouri. Had 24 and 12 against Rutgers last year. I haven’t watched him enough to know, but he could potentially be a rugged rebounder next to Reibe, while being someone who can also space the floor and be a good passer on offense...

It happens to one or two a year, but the low major regular season champions are still going to be smushed for the most part. The ones who are good enough to add value to the tourney usually have a good enough resume to get in anyway - but it is true there is a small subset of teams ranked around...

Did you know that Rutgers coaches have coached players who made over a billion in the NBA combined! That’s impressive stuff.

Mid-majors will need to learn how to be the minor leagues. They may develop guys and lose them, but they can also pull up strong players from low majors or D2 (Jack Grodahl) or bring down disgruntled P5 players who are salivating for more playing time (and then maybe have to send them back to a...

Creighton, Marquette, Nova, PC and Xavier have all taken turns sliding backwards and haven’t bounced back. St. John’s has gotten better. But that’s not enough to fill that void.

I mean, the fairest is the Premier League - everyone plays everyone else home and home and then the champion has the most points. But were it not for things like the champions league, the Europa league and relegation, almost nobody would have anything to play for in the last two months and it’d...

In some ways it’s the worst case scenario - a lot of the teams are talented enough to push us, but not good enough to help our resume. There won’t be much potential for good wins, but there will be plausible threats of bad losses.

Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. check in with Cam on an epic heater and immediately take the next 5 shots combined. But not watching - perhaps the Clips defense was tired of Cam’s smack and just threw the kitchen sink at him. Haha.
