NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[The Q]

That’s what you get for sleeping on the A-10. I was watching Seton Hall’s gym last night. Straight garbage! That Big East is a paper tiger. Not impressed at all.

Holmes got away with murder the last 2 minutes

An illegal pick before the phantom foul and 1

Fouled the kid at the ft like with a minute left for that “steal”

Fouls the first shooter at the end by spearing him into the ground like it’s wwe


Laughable

Goooooo Dayton Flyers!!!

 

[Stakesarehigh]

at the high school level?

it's just a bunch of money for no added value

it's not a made for tv production

why are we adding it in HS and not middle school?

elementary school?

it's arbitrary.

it's not arbitrary. Teams use the lack of shot clock to stall out games and run a bullshit ass offense. That's not how the game should be played.

So make 5th graders use it

so we are comparing 5th graders to hs kids now

they're learning the game but yes I'd also employ it there if it was my league

I wouldn’t

Kids need to just be able to play and learn how to play

Let the colleges with money have shot clocks

Again, it’s a tv gimmick

That’s just a fact

Goooooo Dayton Flyers!!!

And Duquesne!

Nice start for the A-10. That’s how they get back to being the regular 2-3 team bid league they used to be.

It bothers me that Dayton hasn’t gotten a Big East invite yet when I see those facilities at places like Seton Hall. Dayton is basketball crazy. I bet in the same way Villanova blocks up St Joe and Temple from being Big East Xavier does the same with Dayton. Turrible!

Iirc they were looking at vcu a while back

But I mean most of the schools are catholic schools and I think that is likely going to be a constant going forward unless there are other circumstances

 

[The Q]

Technically correct but will probably get amended to fix plays like that going forward

 

[fightinfunbags]

Oakland hitting shots early

That dude is a damn sniper.

HS kids should know how to play by then

I agree to an extent with elementary

 

[fightinfunbags]

That dude is a damn sniper.

He's fun to watch without the ball too

 

[Stakesarehigh]

players have to make plays but Cal is the most overrated coach in college hoops history

Amazing recruiter. Can't do anything with it

It’s weird

He prepares his guards for the nba better than anyone

But almost to his own detriment

I know this has been said a million times- but it really sucks the Covid year Dayton was likely going to get a 1 seed. That definitely hurt the program to lose the tournament that year.

Good to see them back and win a game- lets hope they can keep it up. A-10 doing well is good news. Hope Dayton or Duquesne can pull off another win between them- would be nice.

Shot clocks aren’t expensive?!?!? And in most cases we are talking public funding. It’s roughly a one time fee of like $600 and somebody in the community donates the time to install it. He’s nuts talking grade school. High school is reasonable. AAU in many ways has taken away from the importance of HS ball. Not having a shot clock makes the HS game even uglier.

Every piece I read on it is "it helps the little schools compete"

The idea is the better team wins. Don't bullshit up the game to compete.

I have no idea man

results are very subpar.

His rotations are too deep sometimes or erratic and fucks with players flow.

His cute rotations with his 2014 team cost him a title.

Why are we playing KAT 20 minutes a game again? lol.
