I would agree for the most part. I just felt like they got super predictable with one up the middle run after another. Now ND is a well coached team that does not quit, so it may be that they were able to get back into it when other teams may not have been able to. At any rate, that was one very...

Miami won in spite of Cristobol and his conservative nature. They should have won that game earlier than they did.

He didn't just score, he threw it down as emphatically as one could do. Cameroon with a master class on how not to close out a game.

A nice recap, but nothing new there yet. At least if you follow this stuff anyway. I'm sure this will play out over time, with the key thing being these agreements. Now that schools can pay players, as opposed to before, will these agreements become binding contracts, and will players sign them...

Houston is a little behind OKC in terms of a rebuild, but they did a very good job of acquiring young talent. They definitely needed a veteran to lead the way for them in the playoffs, I'm just not sure Durant will be the guy. Still, I think it was a no brainer for them.

Ok, so we assume they will come forward with the names and who the people were so that it can be proven. If they do, then great. As for the contract, that may or not be a contract, that will definitely be for lawyers to decide. Not really sure what role the NCAA will have in this when all is...

They already said the transfer portal doesn't matter and kids can transfer, and immediately compete without it. So I guess this boils down to if the signed document between the school and the kid actually means anything. If it does, you wonder why they wouldn't be going after the kid. As for any...

There isn't one box he doesn't check as one of the all time greats. Championships, mvp, all star, etc. Not only the leading shot blocker, but number 10 in steals all time. Simply crazy. He beat all of his competition as well (Shaq, Ewing, Robinson). I'm not sure underrated would apply, but...

It seems more likely that he is struggling with the idea of if he can stick in the league or not. He is a good college player, an important piece for two championship teams. There aren't a lot of young people who can say that. But that league can be unforgiving, and he is probably getting mixed...

This one might work. MSN

I think when you lose a game in this manner, to a team this bad, it's fair to bash away. No one hates anyone on the team, no one wants to throw them in a volcano or anything, it's just a frustrating way to lose, and people are emotional. Get back on track next week and it all turns around, fan...

The problem with this is that Kemba could realistically be the best player on the court every game. When you have that, you have a chance to win. I don't see that guy here. McNeeley could be some day, but not right now. Still, this team is Jekyll and Hyde so the story is far from over. I just...

To be fair, Miami was all in on Lilliard, who wanted to go there, but Portland just refused to make a deal with Miami. Otherwise, they have done things for Butler that they didn't even do for Lebron in terms of travel arrangements, etc. Butler is a guy that plays extremely hard, raises his game...

I don't know. Butler's entire issue is that he wants the big extension, and Miami just isn't going to give it to him. If Dallas were to agree to that after not wanting to pay Luka, then they should just fold the damn franchise. Having said that, nothing surprises me in the damn NBA.

I guess Wisconsin could get some flak for not entering the kid into the portal, but this so called contract probably won't result in anything for either side. Maybe when the revenue sharing goes live these agreements can become a thing, although player agents and reps will probably want them...
