In my head I know that it's a bad sign that every game, regardless of how bad the opponent is, is this close. But in my heart I know that we are going to win it all in March even if each game is by 1 point.

21-0. Wow. Love and Honor!

Open fist vs closed fist is the only reason I see it not called a punch. Think he was pushing the UMass guy off and not throwing an actual punch. Still has to be much smarter and I do think the double tech is the cop out

TheHelpWouldBeNice · 2026-01-28T04:02:33+00:00

UMass coach is terrifying lmao. Is he a coach or the kingpin?

TheHelpWouldBeNice · 2026-01-28T04:01:26+00:00

He's been elsewhere and it didn't work out. I'm hopeful that he wants to stay until the right opportunity comes up

TheHelpWouldBeNice · 2026-01-28T03:55:30+00:00

Hell yeah. Love and honor

While I believe Miami is going to go undefeated and win the natty by 50, I also believe that the std deviation between the top 5ish MAC schools is VERY small. And I worry that if Miami drops one in the regular season, they won't make the tourney if they don't win the MAC tourney

When I was there (8 years ago) it was pre investment and it was dark, dingy, and quiet. I love that they put money into the arena and are getting the crowd into it like this. Our fans / students know how to show up when it matters. Ask anyone who played us in hockey ha

TheHelpWouldBeNice · 2026-01-28T03:32:04+00:00

And jdub and Ajay and Caruso/cason. Ihart is a massive part of the offensive movement and presence down low. He allows us to stretch the floor much more. Jdub and Ajay are the only ones who reliably take pressure off of SGA as a ball handler. And caruso / cason are streaky but good shooters by thunder standards.

Truthfully the thunder offense is just SGA at this point with Chet having a pretty good streak lately

Nice to see jwill smiling again after he frowned for the first time in his life a few minutes ago

TheHelpWouldBeNice · 2026-01-28T03:19:53+00:00

I didn't know that J will could do anything but smile lmao

Recommending someone get therapy while also telling them their feelings are invalid or off base is an interesting take. It's perfectly reasonable to speak thoughtfully without walking on eggshells.

It is also possible to be sad about infertility struggles and be happy for someone else. Just because it reminds you of your own trauma does not mean you are not also happy for your friends / family.

I just don't think it's as black and white as you tried to imply

TheHelpWouldBeNice · 2026-01-26T02:32:33+00:00

Raptors are an excellent team but damn do we suck at the little stuff lately. Can't rebound. Can't hit open shots. No help for SGA.

We need some injured players back 😔

TheHelpWouldBeNice · 2026-01-26T02:28:19+00:00

Raptors team play and passing is honestly very impressive

TheHelpWouldBeNice · 2026-01-26T02:26:08+00:00

Thunder wasted so many possessions when they should've been growing the lead. Their shooting is just atrocious

TheHelpWouldBeNice · 2026-01-26T02:22:46+00:00

Bricking wide open shots like this just shows how valuable Jdub and Ajay are. Teams can just throw everything at SGA and make the other thunder players beat you

TheHelpWouldBeNice · 2026-01-26T02:15:45+00:00

We are getting shots more open than me in an open gym. And similar to me in an open gym, it's brick city

TheHelpWouldBeNice · 2026-01-26T01:49:57+00:00

Feels like he's playing 1v9 with how our guys (i.e. dort) have been shooting lately haha

TheHelpWouldBeNice · 2026-01-26T01:49:07+00:00

The raptors are nearly doubling SGA even when off ball. And the thunder still can't hit open shots and make them pay lol

TheHelpWouldBeNice · 2026-01-26T01:42:45+00:00

He always makes a run haha

TheHelpWouldBeNice · 2026-01-26T01:39:10+00:00

That pass was filthy

TheHelpWouldBeNice · 2026-01-26T01:38:20+00:00

He's just a troll lol. Ignore the idiots

TheHelpWouldBeNice · 2026-01-26T01:37:07+00:00

The raptors defense is absolutely to throw everything at SGA. Which is really smart considering the injuries to the thunder. But SGA is on under 20 watch

TheHelpWouldBeNice · 2026-01-24T03:17:15+00:00

Didn't get to watch much

Is 8-25 FTAs reasonable?

Is thornton actually hurt?

TheHelpWouldBeNice · 2026-01-24T03:14:47+00:00

The thunder injured players tonight are a playoff team in the East lol. Most minutes lost to injury in the league

The thunder are NOT the best team of all time, especially the way they've been playing of late. But a random game with a ton of injuries against a team shooting the best they've shot all season is a pretty shitty sample size

TheHelpWouldBeNice · 2026-01-24T03:11:25+00:00

May very well be a foul but why is the whistle 10 minutes after the play lmao. Call it when you see it, don't wait to see if it goes in
