    NBA: ***2023-24 NBA season***

    Oh wow, yes we do not agree. We are about as far away as two can get. I’ll just agree to disagree

    NBA: ***2023-24 NBA season***

    Defensive rating is completely misconstrued because the league is offensively so much more skilled now. The last 6 NBA champions all are among the worst 10 defensive ratings of NBA champions because the game has changed. I’ll need to see other analytics to prove your point. The league is down...

    NBA: ***2023-24 NBA season***

    Can you post the analytics you’re referencing? Their 16-4 playoff run is the best record since the 2017 Warriors which is considered one of, if not the, best team of that decade. I don’t put much stock in regular season record at all, considering most NBA champions have between 52-60 wins the...

    Well this is… a take. Why do you consider that Nuggets team that went 16-4 in the playoffs, one of the worst championship teams ever?

    Nuggets series is over. I was worried about Minnesota given how we played against LA, and the T-Wolves are proving me right! They are legit.

    Hoping they both can hang on a couple more years. But really happy for those guys. They both were low, second-round picks, but both have achieved multi-generational wealth. Georges has earned $12.5M in his career so far and Monte has earned $22M. Georges, in particular, should have a lucrative...

    I have been! I live in Denver, so I’m a fan of all the professional Denver teams for years (for better or worse in many cases). ISU grad though, so fan of the Cyclones. When they drafted Monte I immediately bought his rookie card. I knew Jokic was special after his first or second year when...

    We better wake up! We’re not playing the Lakers anymore

    Outside of Niang, the Magic would have been a more interesting matchup for me. A young, up-and-coming team in Orlando playing David versus Goliath Boston. Instead of the Cavs who are a team of disparate pieces that will be blown up next year likely. I’m calling a gentleman’s sweep

    K-State game in 2025 in Ireland (CONFIRMED)

    Getting pretty excited about this trip! Trying to map out an itinerary now. I’d like to hit Dublin(obviously), Cork, and Galway on the trip in 6 nights (could do 7 potentially). For those what would be the recommendation, not sure the best amount of time for each location. Get to Dublin Aug...

    SEC/Big Ten Developing Plan to Share Revenue with Athletes

    Yeah. I’d expect them to be more favorable about what is going on versus your standard B10/SEC fan, considering they were one of the catalysts for all this happening.

    SEC/Big Ten Developing Plan to Share Revenue with Athletes

    The biggest error the NCAA has made is letting the narrative run wild that the student-athletes have been victims all this time

    SEC/Big Ten Developing Plan to Share Revenue with Athletes

    I’d love to get a straw poll of Big 10/SEC fans who are cheering this idea on. I’ve talked to more fans (Iowa, Penn State, A&M fans) who despise where this is all going rather than cheering it on.

    ESPN’s NBA coverage is a joke, especially the studio guys. It would be a shame if we lost NBA on TNT
