He probably has the same sources as Chief.

It feels unfair to second guess a 38-1 season, but UConn won last year in part because they had real size to challenge teams like South Carolina and UCLA. It’s baffling that they completely abandoned that approach this year.

They’re 32nd in the country in turnovers per game. That’s not disastrous by any means, but taking care of the ball hasn’t been a strength of theirs all season.

This team has never been quite as good as its record, and all their flaws caught up to them tonight. They need Reed, Karaban, and Solo to find the best versions of themselves in a hurry.

There are positives that come from being tested on the road and winning games when they’re not playing their best. That’s likely to happen at least once during the NCAA tourney en route to a championship. At the same time, this team can be extremely careless with the ball at times, and that...

SGA does some foul baiting nonsense that’s frustrating to watch but a) it’s nowhere near as bad as prime Harden, and b) the criticism is largely misplaced at him rather than NBA officials continuing to give him those calls. If the refs simply stopped making those calls, the players would adjust...

Here come the zebras trying to get OKC back in this one.

The 4-seeded Pacers had a 2-1 series lead in the finals after knocking out a 60-win Cavs win earlier in the playoffs. I’m not sure this is the year to be beating the “NBA is predictable” drum.

Comical whistle in favor of OKC already.

Last night’s game was really fun, but I’m going to have to wait to see the ratings before deciding whether or not I enjoyed it.

It probably wouldn’t matter tonight with how OKC is playing, but it’s crazy how much fouling they get away with.

Tough night to be an NBA hater.

I kind of get it if you’re building a team to win in college. His lineup gives you two elite shooters (Ray and Ben), two elite ball handlers (Kemba and Ben), and one do-everything forward (Caron) around an elite defensive center and lob threat (Emeka). If it were up to me, Rip would be in my...

Not everyone can make the Mount Rushmore - it’s a simple numbers thing. Tina is in that tier right below with the likes of Sue Bird, Rebecca Lobo, etc.

Sue was an all-timer, but I don’t think she had the same dynamism or ability to impact the game as Paige. We saw Paige go from being a pure point guard as a freshman, when she led the team to the final four, to playing both forward spots last year out of necessity and still carrying the team...
