UConn in the NBA: Nov 24/25

[NickDanger]

Yes, I guess you take umbrage with me saying way better. Spurs are supposed to be 11 games better than the Blazers this season.

So a little bit better. The Celtics are way better.

Can’t believe the success that Tik Toker is having. They can’t keep both small guards long term though.

I think McCain being built like a tank in his lower body while still being a very good athlete gives him a chance defensively long-term, the lack of height/length could be an issue tho

Cam getting PT in the first quarter, no shots yet. Decent defense and passing. Into the second for the Grizz.

EDIT: Got a bucket in the second quarter. Seeing decent PT so far.

Yeah it was first bucket of his NBA career. A driving layup after cutting to the backset. Hopefully the first of many more. He needs to look more for his offense but he looks alright out there. I'm so happy to see him getting burn.

Cam's coach loves his BBIQ- He's gonna be sneaky good in the NBA

It's such a joy watching Cam and it's amazing that he's immediately a rotation player for a good Grizzlies team. Cam had a nice cut for a layup and he played a little point guard. Had a nice alley oop pass but the guy was fouled and missed the dunk.

Buzelis is really good. This rookie class is so much better than people said it would be.

DC just got hurt, was going to the bench but a Portland TO forced him to stay in and still made a defensive play in the lane. Hopefully not too serious, dominating the glass and blocking/affecting shots but has 4 fouls early in the 3rd. Still amazed that Portland can't connect with him on more lob plays.

 

[aceboon]

Jogged off to the lockerroom so probably not too bad

I'm not big fan of McCain's corny ass, but no one can deny he's a baller. He's been cooking people with those painted nails lmao

Hope he's good. His 0 pts, 16 rebound, 3 block effort so far is hilarious

Very confusing why DC isn't finishing this game when he returned fine and was making a difference out there

Blazers are lucky to win that one, it turned into a layup line when Billups took Clingan out.

Steph killed it in the second half. Won them the game.

Donovan finished with 0 points, 19 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 blocks, 1 steal. Legend

Rodman-esque!

Crazy to think Loyola had two future NBA players in the same freshman class.

Steph killed it in the second half. Won them the game.

He did, same last game.

 

[ToolzieFan]

Man, what a defensive possession by Steph in crunch time.

This is great. 2.56 seconds of Castle guarding Curry

Castle - 19 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 46.7% FG (7-15), 2-7 3P

G League -

Calcaterra - donut in 20 minutes (0-6)

 

[husky429]

Clingan is an absolutely bizarre NBA player but the advanced stats love him.

Been a while since I've had so much NBA to watch. Love that we have even guys like Cam getting legit NBA minutes.

 

[Palatine]

Every time someone makes an basket against Clingan, it's treated like a highlight.
