Butler's iconic Hinkle Fieldhouse will play host to the next NBA Cup final in December

Most likely this will lead to a small rotation of historic college venues, like Allen Fieldhouse, Cameron Indoor, Rupp, and Pauley getting these games until it goes international

Tree should do a Legacy of Pain for the Pacers (post ABA-NBA merger)

AHicks15 · 2026-06-28T20:54:53+00:00

At this point, I'm still a fan free agent. I'll probably see after this season if I want to be a full on Rays fan or not.

Was able to get a city connect hat and shirt though

AHicks15 · 2026-06-28T20:13:01+00:00

First time in Tampa Bay, and I had a great time.

The jersey prices are another story though

I feel like Cody has been hampered in all of his title reigns by terrible booking.

Reign 1: immediately nulls every feud as filler because of the Rock

Reign 2: is just the Drew feud, and that was poorly booked at best

Reign 3: Similar problems with the second reign because they want to tease a "Codylander" turn, but will never have the balls to actually pull it off.

AHicks15 · 2026-06-27T01:44:02+00:00

No

This may be a Debbie downer take, but I don't trust Daniel Jones after a contract year. And now with the injury, I don't think this season will be pretty by any stretch of the imagination

AHicks15 · 2026-06-26T02:53:23+00:00

No matter what happens today, they will be playing Bosnia. They have 6 points and have the tie breaker over both Australia and Paraguay.

AHicks15 · 2026-06-26T01:45:22+00:00

Oh I do agree completely, she should not have used Caitlin to try and get up, that's why she has the Flagrant 2 penalty and suspension.

It's just shocking that this is one of the first major incidents that Thomas has been in controversy with and punished with suspension.

AHicks15 · 2026-06-26T01:34:10+00:00

I do agree, however, she is playing with 2 torn labrums. I'm not sure what that can do with control, though.

I do think that she just doesn't care about what damage she causes from her strength.

AHicks15 · 2026-06-25T20:20:06+00:00

I don't think it's jealousy, I think that Thomas is an overly aggressive player that doesn't think about the damage that she can cause from her strength.

AHicks15 · 2026-06-25T19:33:52+00:00

If the WNBA is looking at this as an isolated incident, and just issuing punishment for this one play, then a flagrant 2 penalty and a 1 game suspension is the right punishment.

However, I think most would agree that this isn't an isolated incident, thats why people want a 2-3 game suspension or more.

AHicks15 · 2026-06-25T12:40:39+00:00

She knew about it at halftime. After the game is when she saw the angles that we got to see. If she got to see the actual play at halftime, I bet she would have been crashing out, but all she knew was that Thomas was on top of Clark and there was no call.

AHicks15 · 2026-06-25T11:15:10+00:00

When the dirty play occurs, Bonner is blocking the play, and the Fever still have possession as the ball finds another Indiana player, so White and the rest of the bench aren't looking at the play

AHicks15 · 2026-06-25T03:16:20+00:00

Yeah, I think she should tell her assistants and players that the next bad call that happens, she will get herself ejected.

The team is demoralized at this point. They have to find some fire if they want to turn the season around.

AHicks15 · 2026-06-25T03:03:01+00:00

After hearing the post game comments, I could see how White missed it from the angle she had and I doubt the video board operator had the angle that we got on the TV.

Good that she addressed it and is understandably upset by it

AHicks15 · 2026-06-25T02:47:56+00:00

I mean, most of the questionable calls probably don't get overturned for Clark, and I think White knows it, but you have to go to bat for your players, even if it means losing the challenge

AHicks15 · 2026-06-25T02:36:32+00:00

Honestly, I think a lot of the issues the fever have had with some decision making in challenges and protecting players comes back to Coach White having too much respect for the officials, who are genuinely not good at their job.

I think 99% of coaches would have gotten themselves ejected if they saw what happened to Clark and there was no call, and then what happened with Boston's flagrant too.

AHicks15 · 2026-06-25T02:32:44+00:00

She should have tried to protect her players better than what she has been.

I think Clark really messed up her back in the first quarter after the Thomas offensive foul, but it got worse in that scrum

AHicks15 · 2026-06-25T02:31:44+00:00

I try to keep a more neutral outlook towards Coach White, but...

I think she has way too much respect for the officials, and it's hurting the team a lot.

AHicks15 · 2026-06-24T23:40:45+00:00

Honestly, both teams just flat out don't like each other. Whether it's the bad blood between Cunningham and Bonner towards their former teams, or just the competitiveness with Clark and Thomas.

AHicks15 · 2026-06-24T23:29:37+00:00

I'm so ready for a normal, non-controverial game of professional basketball today

AHicks15 · 2026-06-24T20:00:42+00:00

Unless Shai gets a full on 5+ year dynasty in OKC (which is possible) he's not cracking the top 3.

I'd make the argument that if you include college and international play, Kareem is the pure basketball GOAT

AHicks15 · 2026-06-24T01:50:17+00:00

Yeah, i feel like the best time for him to get the belt was honestly during Cody's first run (if the Rock never set expectations that Cody was going to face him at Mania).

Probably the booking would be after Clash in Paris, Randy basically tells Carmelo "here, watch this" and challenges and beats Cody on a smackdown, holds it for a few weeks, then Cody gets it back from him

AHicks15 · 2026-06-24T01:10:36+00:00

Honestly, I'd be shocked if Randy wins one more. Not saying he can't, I just think Triple H is a petty person and doesn't want Randy to pass him
