  1. I'm not giving OKC a pass to the Finals, fellas. For one I think Minny is a bad matchup. One of Boston or CLE will assuredly be there barring weird injuries, however.
  2. Ay - watch your tone, buddy. Or you're gonna be real sorry!
  3. I remember one time Kevin Garnett was mushing him, and shoving him in the face; and Tim Duncan didn’t do anything, he didn’t react. He just kicked Kevin Garnett’s ass, and won the damn championship. You know what I’m sayin‘? That’s gangsta. Everybody can show emotion, dunk on somebody, scream and be real cocky; but Tim Duncan is a … he’s a pimp.
  4. Oh no. The magic is strengthening. Terry probably lighting rum on fire and bloodletting chickens in his hotel room right now.
  5. Um. No. It's not even close. Shaq in '91 put up 28/15 on 63% FG plus 1.5 swipes and fucking 5 blocks. He was a 2 time 1st team AA to Laettner's 1 and he only played 3 seasons. Center is just too deep which is why I said it's lame if you go double center. Laettner deserves a shout at SF or PF but there are easily 12 or 15 college centers that were much better players. He went 3rd in a really shitty NBA draft behind Shaq and Zo.
  6. My goal was to make the best 5-man lineup not rank the best or most magical college careers. But it could be up for interpretation. I mean Tim Duncan is obviously a better player than Laettner. It's not like Duke doesn't win those titles if you swap them - they would have fucking rolled everyone.
  7. SMU playing for its season on ESPNU. Couple bad losses down the stretch put the Mustangs on the wrong side of the bubble. Decent first year for Enfield but kind of disappointing - thought they'd sneak in to the dance.
  8. How much better do you think he got in 8 months? You can't go to the Final Four with one player unless it's 1979 and the talent is shit and the one player is Larry Bird. Duncan made the EE in '96. That team had nothing on it in '97.
  9. What does first-team All-NBA the next season qualify him for?
  10. I may be underrating KD, honestly. He went 26/11 2 steals 2 blocks on 47/40/82 and swept the NPOY awards in the Big 12. I mean he was better than Melo.
  11. Lil bro's first crack at it who is young but a serious hooper. He hadn't seen my 5 yet so Redick was organic. I like Blake Griffin in there. There's just sooo many fucking names, man. Dad goes "I want Zion and Danny Manning on the same team"
  12. I don't think so but watching today reminded me that this is a SS roster. Which I've been reminded of quite a bit this season. They just aren't consistent or well-coached. Tre was fucking sick today. That dude is going to make a boatload of money the next 10 or 15 years.
  13. I looked up Wade's #s - he was fucking sick - just not much of a 3P threat. Defensively though he was nuts - put up 2.2 swipes and 1.3 blocks per game as a soph.
  14. I think you'd run into experience/leadership issues. As well as something like my initial lineup being 2 or 3 years older on average. But you bring up a good point. Just stack the freak NBA talent and see what happens. What about like: Rose Zion KD Chet AD There's some fun combos for sure. Or you could get real fun and mix-and-match. I'm gonna throw another name in there: Ja Morant Steph Bird Duncan AD We haven't even mentioned Shaq yet 😂
  15. Yeah I was going to take Curry then went and looked up what JJ did in the fucking ACC as a senior. Ridiculous. Good pro too and seems like a good coach. And he's become much more likeable - even he admits he was a total douche at Duke.
  16. Got it - should have known blocks don't count based on who the top 5 is. The NBA definition is: So I'm assuming it counts strip-steals and loose-ball steals in addition to interceptions and non-steal deflections?
  17. I have it because I forgot one. Magic at the point you need a knockdown shooter that won't be asked to do much else. (Assuming we are playing 2025 rules): Magic JJ Redick Bird Duncan Kareem
  18. Also fuck the double-center shit. Like yeah I can put Ralph Sampson next to Kareem but that's not as fun.
  19. Magic, Bird, Kareem automatic. The Duncan pick is probably correct. Laetnner deserves a shout. I'm not sure I'd have MJ but based on his rookie season I probably should. Wade and Curry at my SG would both be fun options. I'm much less of a college historian than NBA. Would have to do a deep dive to really grade guys properly. Do any of the one and dones make the cut? Feel like you can always find a better 3 or 4 year player but Melo, KD and AD were all ridiculous.
  20. Does a win here get Texas in? Regardless of your stance on the coaching situation can't be losing another one to atm.
  21. He's trying to elevate Tre's stock. He led the SEC in scoring on good splits next to these fucking bums? Get our GM on the line...
