Christmas Day slate delivered and then some today

Ooof, all I watched was the Knicks game.

Glad the NBA had a great showcase day.

Merry Stephmas

I loved how some on this board before the season started said McNeeley was just as athletic as Steph. I just don't see it. Steph is a step above McNeeley in athletic talent. Though McNeeley is a lot better shooter.

When the heck are the Celts going to get a young Husky Player? Jezz

Or any team in the eastern time zone for that matter

The Nets have T Martin.

Ooof, all I watched was the Knicks game.

That was the first NBA game I've watched this year, and man, Josh Hart is such a likable player.

With the Rangers crapping the bed this year, my NHL interest has waned, and this is the best the Knicks have looked in a long time. Fun, hard-working team and they don't play the type of boring 3PT/Iso NBA-style basketball that drives me nuts. I'll watch more regular season games this year and will lock in during the playoffs.

The NY Knicks are practically a recruiting pitch and informercial to recruits for Villanova.

The ring on the left is the '24 title ring, but what's the ring on the right for?

Isn't one from the NCAA and the other from UConn? Or something like that?

AJ just had another nasty putback dunk, was hoping with Dame and Giannis out he might get to handle the ball more but still more of just standing in the corner/dunkers spot

He’s a highlight reel at any moment.

Loaded NBA slate yesterday that I sadly couldn’t watch because I’m in Europe. Why am I spending my time in Europe on the boneyard? Great question!

• Clingan: 13 minutes, 4 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals (1 of which being the game-sealing steal on a Hail Mary inbound)
• Hawkins: 5 points on 1-8 FG (0-6 3P)
• Tyrese: 5 points, 5 rebounds on 1-4
• AJax: 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists on 3-5 including that crazy putback dunk
• Cam had no stats in 2 garbage time minutes

Other crazy NBA news: 4 game winners (Scoot Henderson vs Utah, Jordan Poole vs Charlotte, Tyler Herro vs Orlando, Jaden Ivey 4pt play vs Sacramento), Grizzlies 155 point game (Edey had 21pts/16reb), Hawks outscored the Bulls 50-25 in the 4th quarter

 

[Dibbie]

Forget our guys getting scraps for minutes. I want an all Huskies NBA team next year:
Starters:
Steph
Cam
Hawk
AJ
DC

Bench:
Martin
TNew
AK
Liam
Sanogo

May only win a few games, but at least they’d get some real PT

FWIW, last year eveyone got two rings as well.

All that bling makes it hard to read what's spelled out on the rings.

Compare these games to the dreck the NFL presented over the last couples of days. Yet the NBA is "in trouble".

I dunno my Giants were in a nail biter this weekend

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Steph really has to pick it up. He has a clear path for ROTY with Mccain out, but he has really been struggling bad with his shot, and his minutes have been cut.

This weekend was more than a couple of days ago. I was contrasting the difference in the featured games of the two leagues. Your Giants won't be in a featured game for the foreseeable future.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Steph played 8 mins 0 points 4 turnovers, yikessss.

 

[RuffRuff]

Steph played 8 mins 0 points 4 turnovers, yikessss.

He’s been pretty bad over last 7 or so and downright awful last 3. His shooting specifically. Perhaps hitting a rookie cliff.

Oooooof, not good. Hopefully the New Year brings some better days ahead for him.

 

[ToolzieFan]

The Grizzlies got blown out by the Thunder without Morant, but it led to some minutes for Cam. He had 7 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists in 22 minutes. He only shot 1-5, though, and 1-3 from three.

 

[Kenny11]

Steph had a few bad shooting games and then a minor shoulder injury. No big deal. But the problem for him is that Vassell is playing a lot more and Steph is getting less minutes with Wemby and CP3 (as well as less overall minutes obviously). Steph looked great as a starter when Vassell was coming back from injury slowly.
