He was great in the clutch today. Scored the floater to bring them within one then set up Vuc for the open corner three to win it.

His composure down the stretch is crazy. Has only just turned 23.

You guys need to rank the historic Aussie NBA ballers 1-15. Would love to see that list.

Kinda hard to figure out a reasonable way of doing it as a few important guys came from the era where the NBA didn't want them, have to balance NBA vs national team etc. Also, I'd like for some guys unquestionably ahead of Bogut before seriously undertaking the exercise, so I'll give it a crack in a few years when I can push him and Ben down the list as far as I want.

But would still like to do it soon enough so that Shane Heal, duffer that he is, has a shot of sneaking on purely for earning a contract by trying to fight Barkley in an exhibition game.

I remember (or maybe misremember given the years since and abuse I've done to my brain) watching live at the game, Heal as player-coach in the NBL hogging the **** out of the ball and not giving a teenage Joe Ingles the ball when he was the OG Giddey. Imagine selling to these guys that 18 year old Joe Ingles had a lethal first step when he was rake thin!

Also, I currently don't watch Giddey because he plays for the Whores. That right there is a bummer. Do better Josh.

Cant believe the Magic traded 4 1sts, CA, and KCP for Bane. Was an awful trade when it happened and somehow looks worse now

Orlando might just be cursed for shooters :lol:

Bane has to be hurt because he's only playing 29 MPG, and I don't think he just forgot how to shoot overnight after being one of the best volume distance shooters in the league for years. But I'll keep saying it until it clicks with that fanbase. Paolo and Franz is a terrible fit and the main problem for Orlando (-0.7 net-rating through 8-games with both on the court). Mosely is gonna be the fall guy, but the foundational core of that team is inherently flawed.

Some of the dunks he threw down as a kid haha! I forgot how badly the 36ers handled him when he was super keen to play for them - $12.5k a season for 2 years in 2006-ish was their offer to him...

Heal was a complete punk at that point.

This Lakers Spurs game is hilariously bad refereeing

Defender can't even breathe on Luka or Reaves and then we have Giannis who doesn't get calls because he "plays through the contact"

Joke league.

Memphis messed up giving away Cole Anthony instead of bailing on Ja before he did even more damage to his trade value.

I'm glad he's playing well. It is funny how that Portland team is supposed to be a pseudo rebuild and yet, outside of Deni, they are getting carried by Jrue and Jerami Grant.

Speaking of Memphis, they are burying GG Jackson now after showing some nice scoring skills. New coach Tuomas must not be a fan.

Wouldn't mind the Bucks trying to acquire him on the cheap. He could be our version of Jake LaRavia who also came from Memphis.

We've gotta find room for Brett Rainbow on the list somewhere.
