NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[Black Adam]

They already had some guys stepping up at the end of last year. They will be fine.

I agree. It's kinda why i was laughing on one of the NFL threads at the guys who were treating losing Tyreek Hill was some kind of death blow to the Chiefs' season. Imho i think we go Defense heavy this draft, but we'll see...

It isn't entirely crazy to have Baker play his contract out. It would benefit him financially to come out and perform well if Watson was out significant time.

But I can also see the ego hit and wanting out. Not saying he's wrong for feeling that way.

Heard no charges from 2nd grand jury on Watson.

Coach K tonight…

The Chiefs doing it by committee.

Chiefs sign ex-Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to fill void after Tyreek Hill trade

Kansas City didn't wait long to find someone to take over as the big-play threat for Patrick Mahomes, as the Chiefs added WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

I understand why Holmgren is a high end prospect. The tools are obvious to anybody.

But he has a long ways to go. And while the upside may very well be a poor man’s Durant, the floor might be closer to Mike Dunleavy Jr.

Gonzaga looking very beatable again

They just don’t have the guard play they had last year.

The foul situation seems to have made him timid.

The foul situation seems to have made him timid.

I have not watched him play a lot.

But timid is putting it mildly.

He looks like he wants no part of Arkansas’ physicality.

#1 item on the scouting report is going to be to be physical and bully him. And every NBA team has multiple guys who can do that.

Going to have to figure out how to respond.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Arkansas is in heaven being able to play at this pace. Last two opponents set the pace but tonight they look like their best selves.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Holmgren with 4 fouls now

 

[fightinfunbags]

Few gonna have to figure something out pretty quickly now.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Arkansas with some questionable 3s here early in the shot clock.

 

[tlance]

Holmgren with 4 fouls now

Most of the fouls on him should have been no calls.

But still.

 

[thunderc]

Gonzaga has no shooters

Well the 5th one was total crap that’s for sure

 

[fightinfunbags]

Arkansas defense was relentless tonight.

Yeah, I agree.....he is no slam dunk at all.

Anybody that thinks he's KD is delusional.
