UConn in the NBA Dec 24/25

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
 
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.

league needs to do a better job of promoting SGA with all of the noise around 3pt shooting, OKC should have been on TV Christmas Day

He's awesome, my favorite guy in the league after Jokic.

Unfortunately neither SGA or Jokic are marketed.
 
Jordan Hawkins has been in a shooting slump since he came back from injury:

34% from the field
31% from 3
Averaging 10pts 0.6 assist 1.2 rebounds on a lousy New Orleans team.

Needs to snap out of it or his minutes will disappear once Zion and Ingram come back

We all know he can fill it up but he's never shot 40% from three for a season. He's too inconsistent a shooter when shooting is all he's known for.

I don’t understand the logic behind playing Clingan only 9 minutes in a blowout loss. Especially when Embiid and Yabusele combined for 53 points. Maybe they’re easing him back in after the knee injury? He looked better when he was actually playing consistent minutes.

Blazers fans don't seem particularly enthused about how Chauncey is handling the lineup, to put it lightly.
 
Our guys have hit a lull. Hopefully Steph and DC can pick it up after the New Year. The Pelicans are an absolute disaster, so not holding out much hope for Hawk.
 
Hawkins needs to get it together, this is a disappointing year 2 and Brandon Boston as a 2 way guy has been better than him

I'm not sure either. He played really well as a starter so he can obviously perform with more minutes

Best case scenario they're trying to let Ayton show out to increase his trade value, worst case scenario Chauncey Billups just doesn't see what we see

I heard great things about Hawkins during the summer/preseason about how he improved his game in areas other than shooting. I dunno if his back is still giving him issues. If his back is fine, yeah, pretty disappointing so far.
 
Box scores list Andre Jackson starting all games for the Bucks. However he only plays 12 minutes a game. Any thoughts on what’s going on here?

He’s essentially a starter in name only. They put him out there for energy/defense and to try to set a tone to start the game, but then they go with their more experienced, offensive-oriented lineup to close out halves and games so he usually doesn’t get a second stint per half once he comes out.

But the Bucks have gotten much better since they went to him as a starter and the role is probably good for him. He gets those 12-15 minutes that he might not get if he was the 9th or 10th man off the bench.
