    The Krafts

    I don't disagree with a word of this post.

    The Krafts

    I'm amused by the Jonathan Kraft rehabilitation (not calling out DotB personally, just using his quote as jumping off point). Jonathan Kraft is an arrogant, grade A asshole, which I know from several different contexts (business and personal). He's definitely smart, but his ego rivals RKK's...

    Silver Dollar - The Official NBA Betting Thread!

    On the discord site, what's the difference between these threads?: 1. VIP nba-official-postseason 2. VIP nba-playoffs-liveplays 3. nba-discussion I presume that that day's/night's picks are placed in #1; "ongoing" picks during games are placed in #2; and that #3 is general discussion unrelated...

    Bronny declares for NBA draft

    Yes, I think they do, but it's not really overt. I don't really quibble with your answer, but how many of those children took up a roster spot?

    Bronny declares for NBA draft

    Will Bronny be ridiculed all over the league by other NBA players? I know there's massive respect for Lebron around the league, and if Lebron is on his team, then Bronny will be protected, but I have to think there will be massive Nepo baby ridicule, taunting, and serious shade throwing. It...

    Why are Taurisi and Breanna Stewart out of sorts about Caitlin Clark? Is it a simple matter of jealousy/relative deprivation given the attention that she's getting when they think she hasn't accomplished much yet? They are certainly more accomplished than Clark at this point and 2 of the...

    2024 NBA Draft

    Right, and I don't take exception to HRB's analysis, I just don't think Fall is a good comp.

    2024 NBA Draft

    Edey is 10 times better than Tacko Fall. Edey plays in a power conference against excellent teams and has dominated offensively. Yes, he's bigger than almost every center he played against by by 3-5", but to compare him to Tacko, IMO, is seriously flawed. That said, I agree that his NBA...

    Brad Stevens: President of Basketball Ops

    If I'm not mistaken, one of the principal reasons that Jay Wright resigned from Villanova is that the joy he took in college basketball coaching was mostly gone after all the NIL stuff and transfer portal options diminished his approach. He wanted out because it was too hard to navigate all...

    It was garden variety whining, on both sides. CC was looking for calls, SC was complaining on almost all perimeter fouls. Dawn Staley went ballistic on the sideline early and got a warning. On balance, it was all fine. Staley is an amazing coach/motivator.

    Agreed. Bueckers is one of the top 5 players in women's CBB right now, and I'd even be willing to listen to someone tell me she's #2. But this notion that she can touch what Clark has done this year and last is silly. The Steph Curry comp. is absolutely fitting. Entire defensive game plans...

    +1. D. Staley is hammering this home I'm sure.

    This is correct. To describe Clark as a a "great scorer and passer" without more and then suggest that Bueckers is the better player is either massive homerism or ignorant. What Clark does on offense puts every defender in the mixer, causes defenses to stress beyond their abilities, and...
