NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

That wasn’t the reason Houston didn’t get as much, 6 games or whatever is nothing. It’s bc DW had all the leverage with his no-trade clause

It is both.

The suspension and the character issues that go with it depress his value too.

Yep. Forgot about his NTC.

Pretty sure RW had a NTC.

Pretty wild that down the stretch of that comeback 12 of 14 fouls went against UNC. 3 charges but zero fouls called during the course of their press. That's interesting lol

 

[DJ Fieri]

UCLA vs UNC is going to be a really good one.

It was embarrassing

It was embarrassing

Probably the first time in the recent history of college basketball a team has pressed that hard for a solid ten minutes and not received a single reach in call

His size doesn't even bother me as much as his lack of aggressiveness in spots. Maybe its because of his size though.

That too. He really passive, wouldn't surprise me if he's a bust.

He will be fine. Very young obviously so something like aggressiveness is an easy fix

He has the skillset. Needs some size and a little different mindset. Obviously being as big as he is and able to handle the rock and shoot he's been able to pretty much dominate every level. You can see it takes him aback a little when he's paired up with someone with some size and skills.

I didn't think the refs were bad in the Zags game. A little ticky tack at times but the alternative is the UNC/Baylor game where Baylor mugged their way back into the game.

When people bitch about NBA officiating being too strict just look at the hatchet defense college coaches teach.

Slapping hands and shit. Izzoball and Pitino all day.

That Baylor game was brutal. A buddy texted me and said, are you watching this game this officiating is terrible

trying to read up on potential upsets for today and came across this. Shit was bad lol

ESPN colleague Jay Bilas has railed all season about college basketball games descending into "hockey and rugby" games. Do you agree with Jay, and what (if anything) is there to do about the officiating issues that afflicted Baylor-North Carolina on Saturday?​

Heels Baby!!

What a nerve racking game in the 2nd half & OT. Glad Carolina took care of business. Didn't want them to end up on the wrong side of Tourney history.

What are you playing today? Houston/Illinois and Nova/OSU both feel like unders.

Illinois & Nova win. Which probably means Ohio State & Houston will win. I'm a jinx picking games.

I was leaning those sides as well. Instead took a parlay of Nova ML and Duke ML. Think they both win the game, I’m worried about covering the spread though.

Ohio St is always an under unless they get blown out which is certainly possible
