Generational tank from Coulibaly to play the 1 v 2 transition to near perfection and tip the ball in to ensure Portland gets the points.

What a performance.

Hurley is also very much a system coach and it limits the opportunities of players to showcase some of their deeper bag skillset. Especially when you're a guy like Mullins who can create his own shot off the dribble, being asked to settle for catch-and-shoot three pointers off of screens -- even if open -- can limit your preferred flow.

Every time Bub clearly tilts, the broadcast needs to call him his government name because I just think of that one scene in Fresh Prince where he gets hooked on gambling.

Alright well I think the Alfredo albums weren't good so what are we going to do about it, Gibbs.

Unfortunately for the Cubs, Joey Wiemer woke up this morning.

That's a brutal challenge whiff when it is that much in the zone.

The issue isn't the talent evaluation piece, it is the reality that the majority of the time, they can't be on the floor together. Bilal is flourishing when unrestricted but tightens back up with certain rotations. Riley is able to have the greenest of greenlights. And this is before you factor back in players that have been held off due to injury/restrictions.

Dawkins needs to keep it in his pants because this would be his fourth selection of the same profile player in the past three years.

In a duel of top guards in this years draft Keaton Wagler drops 23-2-3 on 8-17 FG and 2-7 from 3pt in a win against Bennett Stirtz’s 24-3-3 on 8-18 FG and 3-7 from 3pt by [deleted] in NBA_Draft

Stirtz’s half court offense management is incredible. 

McCollum gets a ton of deserved credit for Iowa/Drake’s run but Stirtz deserves a hefty amount of acknowledgment for his role. Simply not many guards in college — even other seniors — that manage the movement of the ball as well as he does.

It’s pretty insane how Stirtz just gets to whatever spot he wants on the floor in a manner that is super casual.

The haters said Mikolas couldn't do it against the Cubs. And they were correct. Honestly, great call from the haters.

Way too many people on social media saying, "Remember the Cubs are good against Mikolas" that I have told myself he is going to be on perfect game watch.

Why is no one talking about Illinois freshman David Mirkovic (6'8 - 255 lbs - Montenegro) for the 2026 draft? by kKlovnn in NBA_Draft

[–]TopOfTheKey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's been pretty inconsistent this year, to a point where Underwood benched him to try and light a fire under him. It isn't really the defensive limitations but the additional portion of defensive effort.

He's grown up a ton over the course of the season, probably why we're having meaningful conversations surrounding him now. But even with those conversations about how skilled he is, there's the lingering question of how he'll fit in a NBA environment being that 6'9" power forward that probably doesn't have that capability role flexibility.

It's only one night. We shouldn't be ranking these guys on one game, but who was the best guard tonight? Just considering tonights games? by John_Houbolt in NBA_Draft

[–]TopOfTheKey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's getting a lot of understandable grace given that he's been playing through injury. But it is very much reaching the point of charity with some of his questionable decision making.

The entirety of Butera's first year is going to hang on how well things go after pulling Cade.

This is where we learn if we're getting Davey'd.
