When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

not to pile on Rick but I'm very confused why the Lakers decided to spam DLo shots when the Kings had Harrison Barnes guarding Anthony Davis for the rest of the game

or why Rui and Wood were both banished to the bench after they were torching the Kings

I think the idea was to get Fox out of the game since he has 5 fouls and D’Angelo had been drawing fouls successfully in the fourth. Live by the D’Lo, die by the D’Lo.

The Rui/Wood thing is not an answer I have. I dunno, it’s October and coaches try weird poo poo in October, and Ham is a weird poo poo trier in general.

James Buchanan Duke (December 23, 1856 – October 10, 1925) was an American tobacco and electric power industrialist best known for the introduction of modern cigarette manufacture and marketing,[1] and his involvement with Duke University. He was the founder of the American Tobacco Company in 1890.

Boozer is the 2025 draft class, Flagg is now 2024 draft class

Flagg seems like one of the best hs us prospects in a bit unfortunately

No he's not. 2024 is the next draft class. Flag is in HS right now and won't qualify for the 2024 draft. College bball already started so he's at Duke next year.

As a Blazers fan: TV broadcasts don’t like huge blocks of red, the color doesn’t get brought over accurately at all, looks kind of blobby. I’m curious what all of those red courts are going to look like.

When they said fancy courts were going to be created, I didn’t really think it would be this, I thought a little more effort would have been put into the design.

Rebounds represent potential points, including threes. So if you get a bunch of dunks and layups, a rebound might have more potential.

You don't win games off of potential points, you win them off actual points.
