    NBA: *** 2025-26 NBA Thread ***

    Their problem to me (along with not having a primary ball-handler) seemed to be that when Wemby is out on the perimeter, which is often, they didn't have anyone down there with any gravity on offense to keep the defense honest.

    JJeff is a !st rounder!!!!!

    Nets are a woeful franchise but supper-happy for Joshua, hope he feasts there, gets on a good team, and has a long career!

    NBA: *** 2025-26 NBA Thread ***

    This is the first thing that always gets mentioned. He shot 35.8% this year, that's "good" but I wouldn't say it's great by modern standards for a guard. It's not that much better than Jefferson at 34.5%. I think the "he's an elite shooter" narrative is driven too much by a small number of...

    I'm probably blinded by my H***eye hatred but I just don't get the Stirtz love from NBA teams. Guy was nearly a lottery pick?? Maybe I'll be proven wrong about him.

    They seem to lack a primary ball-handler. They also need a scoring threat in the post when Wemby is on the perimeter, which is often.

    That was a very Cyclone-type loss. As a fan I would never recover from a loss like that, permanent damage.

    Milan Momcilovic commits to Kentucky

    That really puts it into perspective! I never thought about it on a per-game basis before. An NBA player with a super-max contract makes about $700k per game.

    Sounds disgusting but I'll take your word for it OP.

    Milan Momcilovic commits to Kentucky

    This is where I'm at too. Milan was a great Cyclone, and was deadly last year when paired with an All-American power forward, but at least in his time here he didn't show a consistent ability to be a #1 option "get your own shot" type of scorer. If my team isn't among the few teams...

    "Three of the top six scorers are back" sounds nice if you ignore that it's #4-5-6 and #1-2-3 accounted for ~65% of that scoring. Normally when you say something like that, it's #2-4-6 or something. I expect Toure and Batemon both make big steps are scorers though.

    Really hope the Spurs take this series. No offense to any Thunder fans but OKC is just not an enjoyable team to watch. They're like the friend playing Madden PlayStation football who figures out the poorly-programed broken play and just keeps running it again and again. SGA is the most boring...

    Milan Momcilovic tweets "entering NBA draft and portal"

    I think he likes to say a lot so that he can be "right" if it turns out one of the claims is correct. "A broken clock is right twice a day."
