    The WNBA: Thread II

    They're actually somewhat late to this party, I think most of the Fever's road games have been moved to the local full-size NBA arena at this point. I think Vegas was the first. (fake edit: yep. Also, 36 of the 40 ESPN televised games this year will feature the Fever? Now THAT's what I call...

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    Going back to this, I think this is a good idea, and not just for the reason Jon mentions. If we have one megathread covering our game-threading of the games for 8 playoff series, plus between-game analysis and discussion on each, it's going to be an unreadable nightmare. I'll start these once...

    The WNBA: Thread II

    Heh, I didn't see it, but I kinda like it. I'm OK with UConn having become something of "the Duke of the women's game" in terms of antipathy, and "they hate us cause they ain't us" defensiveness on the other side. I got to enjoy a lot of that during the Patriots glory years, all of us here are...

    Sure, but they also came back from a 14-point 2H deficit, much of which while Butler was still playing and effective. I just don't want to devalue their efforts and what they showed last night, even if I'm loathe to give Embiid credit for anything. They solved a lot of problems in a hurry...

    Iowa WBB may not have a "Davidson Basketball in / after the Steph Curry era" story arc, after all. They just recruited the nation's #3 scorer to join them as a transfer, Villanova guard Lucy Olsen, a rising senior...

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    I think it's at least worth noting that having played like garbage for the entire first half (outside the game's first 6 minutes where their defense was on lock), and getting booed by their own fans as they left for halftime, the Sixers turned it around and wore the Heat down throughout the...

    Blake Griffin officially retires

    As was rumored all season around here, he had a standing offer to (re-) join the Celtics, which was the only team he was considering joining, and is rooting for them this postseason. https://www.celticsblog.com/2024/4/17/24133030/blake-griffin-retirement-boston-celtics-brad-stevens-nba-playoffs...

    Maybe Doyle should've retired a decade ago, after taking L after L in the wake of Ballghazi. Dude is a fossil, unprepared to face the year 2024.
