UConn in the NBA: Dec 24/25

I don't think that's how it works -- the bonuses aren't additive round to round. From NBA Cup prize money: How much players make for winning title as bonuses increase in 2024



Nevertheless, he makes $1.89M this year. So it's a cool 27% holiday bonus.

I was going off what the announcers said the Lakers made last year. Could have been wrong, I’ve seen both sides reported.

Either way good chunk of change.

Gil isn’t wrong and is part of why basketball isn’t as good nowadays.

Coaches and players are heavily focused on xs and os and analytics and don’t understand how to play the game of basketball as much.

This Gianna’s thing is crazy but everyone is just going to talk about how OKC couldn’t make a 3. Like they should’ve been even taking those when they could’ve been attacking a star player in foul trouble. Smh

Neither can Steph Curry tonight.

Steph can’t buy a basket recently

He's had a rough couple of outings lately. He was glued to the bench for just about all of the 4th quarter and OT. Hopefully he can bust out of his funk. Guessing he may have hit the "rookie wall".
But he did have that sweet flush off a Wemby lob!

Cam Spencer is in as the Grizzlies are annihilating the Warriors.

Cam Spencer scored more points in 8 minutes (5 points) than 3/5ths of GS's starting lineup the entire game (Curry/Looney/Green combined for 7). In fact, Green posted donuts across the stat line (0 points, 0 assists, 0 rebounds, 0 steals, 0 blocks, 0-4 from the floor in 19 minutes. OUCH)

What do you all think of my All-Star picks?

East is stacked! The west has a couple weak links.

Still waiting for this fact to no longer be true: Denver is the only NBA team that has never had a UConn alum play for them. That’s been the case for a while now. We could maybe adopt Jokic in the meantime. Give him an honorary degree.

Kind of bittersweet seeing Clingan block Castle's shot.... then again, they both have potentially bright futures at this level.

Stephon, meet Donavan. Donovan, meet Steph Castle.

Stephon, meet Donavan. Donovan, meet Steph Castle.

Probably a common occurrence last year in practice. Did look like Castle was hit on the arm by Williams(?)

Regarding Husky on Husky crime - A couple of years ago during Drummond’s first stint with the sixers, rookie Bouknight went to do one of his Sports Center dunks, and Drummond rejected it on an all (or mostly all) ball block that put James on his back. A real “welcome to the NBA” moment. Wish the ensuing years had played out differently

THIS SAMPLE SIZE IS TOO SMALL but wow.

Yeah, he got swiped by that guy, but rookies don't get calls I guess.

The small sample warning is hilarious.

Hawk back in form. Has 25 with 9 minutes left.

They need to change the point differential between 3 and 2 pointers imo. Make threes worth 4 and 2 pointers worth 3.
