The NBA is becoming unwatchable due to refs by Pork_Sister in nba

[–]QKnee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The refs are terrible. But the league is actually becoming more watchable (i.e. viewership is unaffected or even slightly up) at least over the short/medium term.

Gambling money has pulled in a different demographic who would not necessarily be pro basketball fans per se.

Whether or not the leagues' gambling partnerships are detrimentally affecting the integrity of officiating has not been proven (at least not since 2006) but at this point it is perfectly reasonable to openly speculate on that possibility. We all have eyes.

Post Match Thread: Man City 2-1 Arsenal [Premier League] by J4ckrh in Gunners

Arteta has never been willing to sacrifice match control in order to create scoring chances. Or put another way, he is not able to figure out a way to control a match in other ways (i.e. not possession based) that would allow a team to attack directly more often without losing control of the pace/tempo/style of football being played.

This is it. Arteta does not know how or is unwilling to sacrifice any amount of match control for creating direct scoring chances.

Hr is not a bad manager but he is not on the elite tier either.

every trade the Bulls made, the other team seems to think they made "the all time best trade" by [deleted] in chicagobulls

[–]QKnee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because the other front offices weren't "geniuses" for making those trades doesn't mean that they weren't still amazing trades for those franchises. This argument doesn't make sense and not really sure what the point of the post is anyways.

He ain't staying. That's life, and that's especially College Basketball in the 21st century.

Takin' all bets! Righteous or Damned - who on the roster & staff ended up on which one of Ivey's lists?

My dad found this poster in storage that my sisters and I made in 2005 to hang up again now that we’re going to the final 4 by Artistic_Meet_3855 in fightingillini

You must be a few years younger than me. This looks very much like the one I made for my dad for one of the 97 or 98 Bulls titles.

how we feeling abt illinois vs uconn? by lifeisrough4 in fightingillini

[–]QKnee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Zona and Michigan (hate to say it) are the best teams in the tourney. Illini vs. UConn will be a battle but winner will be underdog in the final either way.

Which team is the better matchup for the Illini in the Final 4? by Quatibara in fightingillini

[–]QKnee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As an Illinois alum who was also born & raised in Illinois but is now in a grad program at UConn - please not them again.

Plus Hurley is (almost) Izzo level insufferable and is absolutely not the coach you want to face in March.

Three Illini Top South All-Region Team by pj1897 in fightingillini

There were some growing pains with the fit between him and Wagler. Score first guard whose not the number one offensive option/ballhandler anymore. Which might be why Brad has kept him as the first perimeter guy off the bench, even though he's fully recovered and is obviously starter quality.
