    NBA Playoffs 2024

    TWolves have taken the next step. Antman the difference. But having 3 great Bigs (Towns, Gobert who isn't even playing tonight, and now Naz Reid) is tough to beat. Then really good long and talented role player wings also. Conley that solid PG vet holding things steady. Love it. No hate to...

    Yeah, me too. I will never forget where I was and how I heard the news, just fucking shocking. Not just basketball, he was gonna achieve so much in different venuesabs different ways. And notjust for himself, but for others too. Dude already won an academy award for cripes sake. He was a...

    NBA Playoffs 2024

    For sure, age and iconic athletes whom one has gotten used to for a long time, those athletes aging out is a part of life that can hit hard. Kobe passing is one that hits me hard. He wasn't nearly done with his life success story either, that dude was locked in on whatever he wanted to achieve.

    NBA Playoffs 2024

    That's how the world, life and age works. No one has staved off the ravages of father time forever. LeBron has more than anyone in the NBA for level of play at 39 in year 21, but father time still wins in the end at some point. New generation of stars, maybe some will be all time greats in...

    NBA Playoffs 2024

    Minny has 3 very good bigs to throw at Joker. Makes a ton of difference. Minny also has a couple of long athletic wings who can defend. A very solid vet PG. And of course, the best guard, and possibly player, on the court in Antman. Murray a little banged up. Even if he wasn't, Antman...

    He's Special. Minny has come of age.

    NBA Playoffs 2024

    Levine is not a consideration. Dude is broken. Young would get killed on defense, hope they don't get him. Mitchell at least would be decent, but to trade off at least two key players and stays starters, then it probably hurts more than helps. Pelinka is a terrible GM tho, so who knows. I...

    NBA Playoffs 2024

    Westbroke was a terrible trade. One of the worst in history. That was a Rob Pelinka special. What a terrible GM. Bron did sign off on the trade, another terrible decision. Bron obviously has a year or two left at this level. So windows is short. Even then it'll take a lot for another...

    NBA Playoffs 2024

    Bron wanted Lue back 5 years ago. The Lakers effed up over a couple mil and one extra year on the contract for Lue, after Lue had already agreed to coach the Lakers. Since then, Vogel and Ham have come and gone. Bron is probably tough to coach. But Ham was not a good NBA head coach, never...

    Official 2024 Nebraska Cardiac Beaver Slayers Baseball Thread (30-16)

    This last one was shallow, shallow. Don't expect a "great" movie per se', but talk about terrible writing and plot. Zero known actors. Little to no thought on producing a monster movie with any substance to it to continue this montsterverse. Godzilla, Kong, Godzilla X Kong, don't have to...

    NBA Playoffs 2024

    It was a ton of fun. Never a dull moment. Plus two classic east coast cities and teams knocking heads and going back and forth so much in usually crazy ways. Was hoping for a game 7 just for the fun of watching it. Brunson may have made the biggest jump a player has ever made this year...

    Details of a new college athletics model taking shape

    Sounds like a real mess. Didn't see where to read more details, not sure I want to anyway. NIL and what it has brought is a huge mess already. Basically no rules. But not sure how many schools can afford to foot the bill this new setup brings. Seems like something that is likely to not...

    Nebrasketball 2024-25 Roster Ins/Outs

    His brother, Max, is very talented. Shoulda played more for the Lakers last season. He's gonna be a pretty good pro. Athletic, very good defender, rebounder and showed good improvement shooting and on offense. Didn't get to play a lot for the Lakers this season though. No idea about Cam...

    NBA Playoffs 2024

    AD is a beast. But his history is to be oft-injured. I personally think it his freakish frame and how he is built. The running joke in NBA circles is he hits the floor more than anyone in the league, and it is probably true. I don't think he is "soft". I am sure he is really hurting when he...
