NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[trojanfan12]

Yeah I can’t remember if the Longhorn network was a thing yet but it probably was. Speaking of the longhorn network the countdown is on, it dies right before football season.

It was a thing. In thinking about it, it could have been that the PAC wanted Texas to share that revenue and they didn't want to.

The main killer though was what you mentioned about the academic folks. I think the LHN thing could have been worked out.

 

[The Q]

The houston offense despite Duke being totally outclassed athletically with no hope staying in front of them

 

[The Q]

There’s the bs Duke whistle

 

[msgkings322]

Duke UH another good one

Houston is retarded

Duke going to the final 4 because Shed got hurt.

Becuase houston was dumb

They refused

 

[The Q]

Imagine getting outcoached by garbage like scheyer

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Duke going to the final 4 because NC st sucks

I agree

Duke going to the final 4 because Shed got hurt.

Even withes shead they should’ve dominated Duke on the bords and got the 50/50 balls

Duke win because they got those

And the bs Bail outs on roach and filipowski when one was a shot clock violation and the other an offensive foul

Been a pattern the last 2 days

 

[The Q]

Been a pattern the last 2 days

They were passing out, and that’s what caused a lot of their turnovers

No excuse when Duke has no back end defense

Houston could’ve gotten to the rim at will and was too stupid and disorganized to do so

Just a lot of bad decision making over the last 2 days. I love the tournament but the quality of play between it and the nba is startling.

And it just gets worse every year.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

At least Houston didn't miss 900 3 pointers. That Marquette game was so bad

Yale and San Diego State going to start after 10 PM EST on a Sunday

Idk if they’ve made some serious scheduling adjustments this year. Or if I’m just hitting old man phase.

But I gotta lot of complaints about the scheduling of these games.

Four games on a Friday night, only get to watch the very end of two of em since they can’t stagger the starts by an hour.

And I miss Jim Nantz. Which is pathetic.

Very annoying.

I don't have much to say on these other than last Sunday. That schedule was fucking stupid.

8 Games. First 2 as standalone and we actually went 30 minutes without a game between the 2nd and 3rd game. Absurd.

I’m thinking Greg Gumble must’ve been the glue keeping the tourney from being stupid.

This one has felt like amateur hour, for me.

Eh

I have less issue with the presentation than the actual basketball lol.

Some close games that have been fun. Frustrating to see several huge games decided by extremely poor guard play and decision making.

But....guard play is usually what drives this thing...it's just normally we are talking about positives more than negatives.

I lump it all together. This thing is made for TV now compared to when we were kids.

Giving Greg credit. Like I could see him making phone calls to whoever is lining up sites, times, talent etc. telling them how and why they’re wrong.

The shit old people watch in the morning is over by noon. You need to start weekend games by 12:35, East coast. Not 10something AM in freaking Utah. Why would that be the way to open a day of games? Ahhh, annoying.

I’m gonna need downtown Toledo advice before next weekend from you. Jsyk.
