You haven’t missed anything. While Seth Curry and Klay Thompson are phonomal players and without question the best outside shooters of all time, they have ruined the NBA. Every team in the NBA are so threatened by them they have to copy them. Teams won’t play defense anymore so they can save their energy jacking up more 3 pointers. Nobody has their own unique schemes to gameplan for. I feel like no matter what team you watch, they look like the Warriors imposters.I can't watch it anymore and haven't for years.
I get it that the end game is ncaa tourney titles but winning your conference 18 of his 21 years as a coach is anything but mediocre. He’s a top 5 coach in the game. One down year where they still get a 4 seed won’t change my mind. Illinois hasn’t sniffed the tourney in 6 years. They have a long way to go just to get back to mediocre much less the level they were playing with self as HC.
I don't who Bill Self is, but I agree Tomlin has drastically underachieved in Pittsburgh. I was watching the 2010 match up with the Steelers and Pats and couldn't believe at one point in time the Steelers had these guys on offense: Mike Wallace, Emmanuel Sanders, Hines Ward, Antwan Randel El, Antonio Brown, Heath Miller, and Rashard Mendenhall at RB. They eventually replace him with Le'Veon Bell.The Pats are not the Pats without the hardware.
Mike Tomlin is another Bill Self who cant close the deal although the table is set and I can assure you from visiting Pittsburgh for the last 3 NE vs Pitt games that the city and its fans expect better because the bar it set high for that franchise. Just like the Patriots.
So? I mentioned pro and you compared him to Tatum.
You think Zion can shoot the 3. Numbers show he can't. Not sure what you want to debate over? Potential?
Auburn and Michigan State. Auburn seems like a team of destiny right now.Who's everyone picking? I got UVA and Michigan State...
Yeah, I did. I was rooting for Auburn.
Yeah but that was also a double dribble before that. Should have been a turnover. That’s where Auburn got screwed. The foul on the 3 was definitely a foul but it should have never come to that.I feel bad for Auburn but that was not a controversial call.....it was a foul
They missed the double dribble and then called a borderline call. I feel cheated for having watched that game after that ending. I’ll root for whoever wins the other game in the final.

The ref is trying to decide whether to call the foul here, as the Auburn player grabs the UVa ballhandler, in a deliberate attempt to foul (which they'd been doing and clearly wanted to do again.)
Maybe there was a reason he dribbled off his foot (a snapshot of the action just prior to that dribble): View attachment 23090
