UConn in the NBA Feb ‘25

Here you go!

It was nice seeing Andre Jackson Jr in Milwaukee tonight watching the Huskies beat Marquette.

NBA refs hate Castle. He fouled out today on a terrible call. Wish I could find it. Meanwhile someone has to tackle him to get a call on the other end.

He had 10 6 and 6 in 23 minutes today still. He’s really becoming the lead guard there even with Chris Paul and has been doing a great job of distributing.

The Celtics are probably my least favorite team to watch of the title contenders, I just hate their whole process to offense. Tim Legler had a pretty good rant on them on his pod about a month ago.

Fox to the Spurs, they were able to keep Castle out of the trade

Keeping Paul is interesting. Crazy that they didn’t have to include Keldon or Vassell, that is unbelievable business.

I stand corrected.

Kings and Spurs came out like demons. Have no idea wtf Chicago was doing.

Now Castle goes down the path of the Thompson twins lol

Spurs are going to be contenders pretty quickly.

Crazy that the Spurs were able to keep all of their good young players, they made out like bandits

Their top 7 now is pretty solid if that holds and is healthy.

Spurs still hold their pick and ATL's in 2025, theirs OR ATL's in 2026, ATL's in 2027 which should fill out that SF position and bench really well for when Castle/Wemby/Sochan start to hit their primes.

Does Castle go to the bench or Paul?

Does Castle go to the bench or Paul?

I'd guess Paul. Fox and Paul would be really, really small

 

[REB1094]

3 PGs, Devin Vassell, and Wemby? Lol

Cam Spencer was there too. You can see him at the 2:06 minute of the 1st half.

They jack up nearly 50 3s a game, just over 1 per minute. That ain't appealing to most people. Even the Warriors with Steph are 42/game.

Unfortunately the analytics say jacking up 3's gives you the best chance to win games. And the 2-pt shout outside the paint has all but gone extinct. Sucks, but it is what it is with the current rules.

3 PGs, Devin Vassell, and Wemby? Lol

Yeah this isn’t going to be the starting 5. CP3 or Steph is moving to the bench for Harrison Barnes.

Worry about their shooting. Fox, Castle, Wemby, Johnson, Sochan aren't great shooters. Paul, Vassell are okay. Barnes is the only 40% guy, I think.

 

[HooperScooper]

Cam Spencer was there too. You can see him at the 2:06 minute of the 1st half.

Speaking of....Borges spoke to them after the Marquette game for an article. Well he spoke to Jackson. For some reason the Grizzlies won't let Spencer speak to the media. I'm guessing that might have something to do with Ja Morant and the team not liking him talking to the media without a Grizzlies representative present. Never know what that dope will say. So probably some kind of team rule.

"It was good to see all my guys, Coach, all the people that helped me get to this point, helped me build my foundation," Jackson reported. "We had some good conversation. It was good to talk with them. It was a big win for them on the road, they were definitely proud of it and just looking forward to the next one."

What exactly did Legler say?

I timestamped the video so it should start with the Celtics portion

I love Legler but he should ease up on that hair color or get something more gradual.

Oh man, there’s this as well.

Rough night for Ajax on the rematch with SGA, -34 net with SGA 15-19 from the floor.
