OT: 2022 NBA and NCAA Basketball Thread

Today was also national Peacock day. Lmfao

They also have to all be local kids right? A know a lot of people who went to St Peters, but all locals. I can't imagine they are recruiting much out of state

I don't see how they're not locals. I can think of 20 nj universities off of the top of my head yet had never heard of this one until today. The high school was always a force from what I recall.

I guess the "prep" actually stood for something this time.

Never met a kid that went to St Peter's Prep that I liked, but I guess because they were all jocks it made some sense.

I've only ever met one guy who went to CBA that I liked.

I'm guessing it's because he wasn't a jock.

 

[Saugus]

Well, it was fun while it lasted. What a run by St Peter's.

 

[RangerDoggo]

You didn't really think the NCAA was gonna pass up UNC/Duke in the tournament for the first time ever on Coach K's last year as coach, did you?

I mean, St. Peter's didn't play well, but still

 

[My3Sons]

Well at least my kids can enjoy a playoff game.

Steve Nash is actually John MacLean-level awful...the Nets can't lose fast enough so KD and Kyrie's water boy finally gets thrown overboard.

 

[My3Sons]

CP3 scored four points in a playoff game tonight. Father Time is undefeated. The Pelicans are a good example of how a young team has to get tougher to play against and that allows the rest of the talent to blossom.

If Zion leaves that team he’s out of his mind.

He’s got a front row seat to watch them. If this situation isn’t good enough for him nothing will be.

Lolol at the Nets

Lolol at the Nets

They were a collection of players as opposed to a team.

 

[Clam Jensen]

As a nets fan I’m not even upset. Obviously having KD is one of the coolest things to ever happen to the franchise, but they’re just so hard to root for. That D-Lo/Allen/Levert/Dinwiddie team was the tits.

Just imagine how good that team would be with KD, Kyrie, LaVert, Allen and whatever else they could bring in with all the stuff they used for Harden, then turning him into Simmons. Hell Dragic as the point with those four would be an awesome starting five (or trade LaVert for a true PF even)

Ugh I know. The Harden trade was the beginning of the end. Although he was incredible in the playoffs last year before the injury.

 

[My3Sons]

KD is a transcendent basketball player. An unstoppable scorer in many respects. Rather than just collect names like a fantasy team, the Nets should reorganize and build to support KD.

 

[My3Sons]

Chris Paul shot 14 of 14 and hit all his free throws as well. PHX as a team shot remarkably well to finish off the Pelicans in six games. Phoenix relies way too much on the refs to bail them out though and if they don’t hit their shots they don’t have much of a plan B. I can’t see them in the finals again having watched them up close.

Steph and Klay Steph and Klay.

Love watching these guys when they're at their best.

 

[Jack Be Quick]

When Steph decides it's over it's one of the most magnificent things I've seen in sports.

Second only to Draymond lead blocking through the hole

We've found the guy from Brookline.
