UConn in the NBA March ‘25

[Scottzer]

Did Clingan call out sick to watch the game?

He actually was sick. Field of 68 was supposed to have him on, but cancelled due to the squirts.

 

[Scottzer]

3 teams passed on Castle smdh

But he got drafted by a team that 1) properly develops, and 2) you’d want to play for.

Two of them have shown good potential also, Houston though...

I agree but Shepard is probably going to be good. He’s on an extremely deep team that is trying to get the 2 seed in the west. Not a good situation for playing time.

Castle and the kid from the hawks (can’t spell that name) are the best.

Less pullups, more off the hop. Must be a point of emphasis from the coaching staff because Hawkins loves that smooth pullup

Nice shooting!

DC having a great game right now against the Cavs, 18pts/11rebs/3blks midway thru the 4th

The “is Castle a PG?” debate seems ridiculously silly in hindsight.

Only reason he didn't show true PG skills last year is because we had the best college PG in the country last year, Newton.

Shows what NBA coaching can do if the player is open to listening, learning and implementing. He needed to work on his passing and handling skills in bringing them up to NBA effectiveness.

Love to see it. That is an elite defensive front line on the Cavs and he had a very good game. Unfortunately he had a very bad game against the C’s right before. He is looking good in his extended run though.

 

[Matias]

Still leaving DC open at the top of the key...

Castle had a game, 22-11-8. Not a great shooting game and I missed it but only 2 assists shy of a triple double.

Bulls-Lakers tonight was the wildest ending to a basketball game I’ve ever seen.

Giddey’s shot was about as butter of a half court shot i’ve ever seen

He’s been emerging in Chicago.

It’s one of those trades that was great for OKC and Giddey. He wasn’t a good fit next to SGA and clearly needed the ball in his hands more.

Grizzlies just fired their coach, wild, especially when you consider that Ja is always missing games and the Grizzlies are still 5th in an ultra competitive West

Almost makes me think there's some sort of scandal. I consider him one of the best coaches in the league and he comes across as a good dude. The timing of this is crazy with the playoffs about to start.

Steph’s 1k point was a Andre Jackson style head above rim one handed put back. Where did this come from? He was always an athlete but not like this.

2029 DPOY. Book it.

 

[ctbro1999]

Steph with an off night, but pretty much the entire Spurs team had an off night outside of maybe Vassell and Johnson. Looks like Steph pretty much sat out most of the 4th (along with the other starters) since it was such a blowout.

 

[Inyatkin]

Clingan had the first 2 points of the game against the Knicks. Finished the game with 2 points.
Had 10 rebounds and some nice defense, though

His offense will be a work in progress the next few years. But the D is already legit.

He is hitting 3's which is nice to see. 2 in that game against Cleveland.

DC with a very solid overall game vs the Hawks, I like that the Blazers are now incorporating DC's passing in the halfcourt sets now, doing a bit more handling/screening->passing up top now instead of just screening. Plus/minus doesn't always tell the story but it often does for DC, Blazers looked way better tonight with him on the floor. Don't know what the future holds for Chauncey but the Blazers have become a fun league pass watch.
