Absolutley. Kids gonna be good for sure. It must drive Lebron crazy watching Bronny getting schooled by Knecht everyday in practice. :lol:

Not as good as Jae Crowder making the shot from the opposite baseline but this cool too...

There's a thread on the GB about Mikal Bridges forgetting how to shoot and I figured it was probably a dumb thread, but there's actually something going on there. In college he had great shooting form but developed a hitch in his shot over time in the NBA. Now he says he's getting rid of the hitch but it looks terrible and much more hitchy than ever. Went 0-10 from 3 last night and Knicks fans are legit worried/mad about it.

Paralysis by analysis. It just doesn't happen in golf.

Lakers waiving Colin Castleton, who reminded me of Daniel Theis (without the 3 pt shot) before last draft.

Gonna be a busy day for Shams Twitter, I think.

We call it Mazzulla Ball but having a 3-pt heavy offense is only a component (maybe even just a byproduct) of Mazzulla Ball. It's not like they're going to a game and saying, "let's take 50 threes today". They still for the most part take the best shots available to them.

This hurt. He, Iggy, and OPJ contributed to an otherwise weak Dubs roster. That's all the help that Curry needed from his bench.

Celtics were just not ready in 2022.

Even in 2023 the Cs were still very shaky in the clutch.

The East is WIDE OPEN!...

Gotta love how LeBron complains about the refs giving the Liberty the trophy but he forgot about those big leads the Lynx gave away every loss. He probably missed the first 39:55 of that game and the other 4 games before that one.

Dang, the whole season doesn't count already.
I guess that frees up a lot of my time these next 8 months.

What do we think of the Thunder? I'm trying to not come across as a hater but it seems like a ton of people are imagining they've already won something and are guaranteed to keep doing so. Shai is 26 years old and is 11-12 in his playoff career and has never been past the 2nd round.

I do think they have a nice young team on paper but I can't make myself get too concerned about them until I see it with my own eyes. You don't just win titles because your team is good on paper as we all know.

Shai isn't Tatum and OKC isn't Boston so they're likely winning 3 NBA titles this year.
