In McNeeley's defense, not sure coming back would have gotten him a better draft spot in this draft. Charlotte is loaded with young talent, the G league is perfectly fine for him.
Hurley’s look after the shot made clear that was not the plan. Unlike the Boneyard, Hurley isn’t shocked when a player misses a 3.
I'm sure he is a bit surprised after the top two guys miss 13 of 14.
How do you feel about fans holding themselves to levels of maturity? Not a personal attack, but a genuine curiosity about what seemingly exempts or excuses behavior by posters, even if it explains it.
I haven't been in the chat in at least 2 years. I can't even imagine what it was like last night. I just screamed at the TV instead so nobody heard me and there is no record of my complaints. 😀
Mullins is 19, expecting “Big Boy” polish every possession like he’s a 10-year vet is wild. NIL doesn’t fast forward the learning curve, it just puts it under brighter lights. Critique away, but let’s not act like he should already be a finished product. And relax nobody’s “carrying a torch” for him. "Big Boy"
Genuinely not sure what you’re asking here Hans but familiar with your moralizing schtick. I think it’s an Internet forum. I think ad hominem attacks and personal shots at players are out of bounds, but criticism of their play - whether you agree with it or not, or agree with the tone or nature of the statement - is fair game. We’re all adults here, and there’s plenty of people who will take it upon themselves to preach and police as necessary anyways
Mullins will soon be 19.
Fair on basketball criticism, shot selection and consistency are absolutely fair game.
I think you’re interpreting differences of opinion as slander. You could look at Mullins’ game last night and say he made winning plays when it counts and you could see glimpses. You can also watch it and say he was 0-8 from 3 and got outplayed by the freshman on the 15 seed. Both opinions maybe not be true but both are valid. Just because you don’t agree with a take doesn’t make it moronic
We’ve gotten spoiled.
This is 2026, the idea that freshmen aren't supposed to be good or much expected from them has been outdated for decades, and certainly outdated in regards to the level the past two freshman classes have performed at. Neither Liam or Mullins have performed up to expectations over the entire season and certainly not in the area they were advertised as elite, 3 point shooting.
I get it, it’s a message board. But none of us really know that it has zero impact. Stuff online travels, narratives build, and players do hear things. Acting like it’s all consequence free is a little too easy.
There are just a couple of posters on chat speeing
I’ll come here and offer contrite public apologies. Those who see my posts here know I’m pretty damn level headed and measured.
I mean, that’s exactly what I said. And I get things travel online but again, please don’t pretend like what we say re: someone’s NBA potential or shot selection has any genuine impact on the real world. We’re all just clown posters saying stupid things
Omg stop
Not a chance that’s what happened. More like he lost his mind and completely defied the play
