  1. Right it was tongue in cheek, but the point being one of the 4 years that are being cited as down years did not have a tournament and that team was absolutely rolling and getting their shit together at the right time. And the year prior they were in the final four. So we are talking about 3 down years, all of which they made the tournament and won at least a game, and one of which they made the 2nd weekend, and none of which they lost to a lower seed. Not bad for down years.
  2. That's totally fair, especially given the context of the past few years but I'm also old enough to remember when many counted him out as a one class/period wonder in 2003 because they hadn't made a run since the Flintstone/JRich class, and again in '08, '12, you name it. A 3-4 year gap in between final four runs is a crisis at Michigan State it seems. It also seems like 98 percent of the other D1 college basketball programs would be pretty happy to inherit that problem. I don't think he's washed just yet, and even if if he was, I'm the type that is of the mindset that he can go out however he wants. Absolute legend.
  3. He had a bad couple of classes. It happens. 30 years, 11 conference titles, 8 final fours and a national championship. The numbers bear out a story pretty similar to the one you're belittling. His teams compete for the tournament every single year, a conference title and final four roughly once every 3 years, and a national championship once every 6-7 years. They are not Duke. They are not Kansas. Otherwise...not too shabby. Also here is a reminder that Cassius Winston was going to win a National Championship in 2020 but the tournament was cancelled.
  4. Actually just counted we have 9 categories still in play.
  5. I'm in a heater with Durdy. 5 or 6 cats still up in the air with these last two games happening. He's got 2 guys on the Blazers and I've got 2 on Detroit. I have DD on the Kings in the other game.
  6. Good watch with Pistons Warriors tonight. Came down to the wire and the deciding shot was a three from.... Checks notes... Draymond Green? Detroit is a fun team. I love Cade and honestly think he has league MVP upside but he needs to tighten the handle to take the next step. 9 TOs including a brutal couple in crunch time.
  7. I need another 30/20/20 tomorrow to advance against Durdy.
  8. Good work dcbc. Looking delicious and the pit looks great.
  9. Oh no you didn't KD.
  10. Suns looking great.
  11. Ms. Nichols is back. https://www.threads.net/@rachel_nichols/post/DG1kQ50SA5H?xmt=AQGzjdQH1D0ACb7_m5YmYs93mAy2LqSMPcDHluVq0LcbsQ
  12. I think you said it in the thread last year or the year before. But man I am going to miss watching KD, Bron and Steph hoop.
  13. First one was sarcasm. They were down 25 and looking like they could not be bothered to give any effort on defense. Second one was self own.
  14. Suns looking good.
  15. Thanks all. Yeah that's exactly what I'm looking for. I'm not at the spanky level of wizardry quite yet, don't even know the alliances.
  16. I'm wide open and want to see what's out there. I'm DTW based but I am open to looking out of Chicago, East Coast, West Coast and seeing what routes they have overseas in either direction.
  17. Is there an aggregation type of reward airfare site? I'm trying to dig into Chase travel partners and find cheap routes between US and Europe for 4 people and it's a beating..
  18. Yeah it was set up for 4 teams, 2 2 week matchups. I changed it to 6 teams, 1, 1, 2.
  19. I left early. It was fun though.
  20. Detroit no match for Denver. Denver was in serious mode. They looked like they had done some serious homework for a WC team coming into a building they only go to once a year to play a young team. And it worked. Joker was looking for whistles early against Duren and Stewart and they both were in serious foul trouble before halftime. They got physical with Cade and he didn't really know how to fight through it because they don't really have enough offensive firepower to compete at the highest level. They have Cade and a shooter and Tobias Harris. Denver wouldn't let Beasley breathe and there wasn't much left but a bunch of missed shots for Detroit. Denver was executing at a championship level on offense. Murray was not having it. I've got Denver as my #1A contender in the West, and I think they would be a tough test for Boston.
  21. Ooh that's tough. Today I think I would take the field.
  22. Steph drops 56 on the magic. I'm not sure what I think of this iteration of the Warriors with Jimmy. I guess I feel like the West is wide open and at this point in time there are probably 7-8 teams I would not be shocked to see in the WCF and possibly even the Finals. Obviously the Thunder should be and are the prohibitive favorites but something about not seeing a team do it before leaves you a little skeptical... On the other hand in the East I feel like I would be very surprised if it wasn't Boston v Cleveland in the ECF.
  23. Wait a minute, I believe we have a rule that free agents can be kept for the cost of a 10th rounder. Were you not aware of that? Would you still have dropped him?
  24. KD doesn't want to lead the team in shots. He is a hoops sicko. He is trying to perfect the game. Listened to a bit of him on the Draymond/Baron Davis podcast at the gym today. His perfect game is going 9-11 from the field and 2-3 from deep with a couple of efficient trips to the line. And my favorite part about the current iteration of KD is that he doesn't care what you think. He just wants to hoop.
