Kinda going off a ledge here a bit. I'll give you a run down while you get some coffee or something.

Can you please cite or explain how or when I've said I don't think this benefits ISU or how that has anything to do with not really following the NBA closely?

-I think it's great for ISU to have someone do so well in the pros. He reps ISU a lot to add on which is great. That's likely even better for those who follow the NBA.

-Imo (and this isn't saying I hate Iowa State athletics!!!) the 'choke' thing by Miller was overplayed in the long run since the Pacers lost that series.

-I thought it was overblown to do that for the first game and only saw the clip of the shot going way up in the air off the rim and falling in. Luckily it worked out for them to get up 3-1 after the Pacers, um, didn't close out the last game.

If you'd like a little more grievance filled take I've got a few but not about the NBA.

Semantics but I'm not sure if 'nailed' is how I'd describe that shot. It was a small miracle in physics imo.

Hopefully the Miller nod doesn't come back on him.

It doesn't get mentioned much but the Pacers lost that '94 'choke' series.

The way it went in was shaky but Tyrese making that shot is dependable.

Brunson and Joker are the only players remotely in his league for hitting difficult late shots and in the playoffs he’s been the better of the three at it.

Damn dude, I didn't start this thing. Keep getting pulled into some rabbit hole debate with you. You're the one who said you're not really watching and seem to want to post something negative when all I'm saying is something positive about Tyrese. Marvin, is that you?

I don’t follow the NBA closely enough anymore to offer a super-informed opinion, but the championship with Dallas is still pretty impressive to me. I’d rather have him leading a team than Thibs, especially in year 5.
Well that is a pretty easy choice. In addition to being an ass as a coach Thibs is a trash human being.
