Knecht stars with nine 3s, 37 points, Jordan shrug

After Lakers guard Dalton Knecht tied an NBA rookie record with nine 3-pointers en route to 37 points in a 124-118 win over the Jazz on Tuesday, LeBron James wanted to clarify just how Knecht landed in L.A.

Kam Jones grabs rare triple-double to lead No. 15 Marquette to dominant upset win over No. 6 Purdue

Kam Jones recorded the first triple-double at Marquette since Dwyane Wade did so in 2003.

don't mind at all. the cash prize makes players actually try a bit harder imo

I just feel like having other tournaments makes the real one not as important.

The NBA is like the NHL from 30 years ago. Insanely xenophobic. I'm glad the NHL has matured into being largely inclusive. Yet the critics would say that it lacks diversity. I don't see any of this shit in the NHL.

@Machinehead I realize it's the only a pre-season tourney but the UConn men have lost 3 in a row.

The NBA product is so unbelievably bad right now and this commissioner does nothing to address it. I hope ratings continue to tank.

Alex Sarr, a 7- foot PF / C rookie who can’t shoot 2 point FG’s and is super raw shoots 4.5 three’s a game. The most Bird ever shot was 3.3 attempts. Reggie Miller didn’t shoot over 4.5 a game until like his 6th year in the league. Sarr shoots 25% from 3. Brutal. It’s not entertaining to watch guys brick 3’s all game long.

The product is 1-dimensional and a chore to sit through.

The three pointers, I don't mind. They're exciting, especially when you frequently go to games.

My issue with the NBA right now is the scoring in general. I go to turn the game on and I don't know if it's the Knicks on MSG or CNN's coverage of the electoral college.

Hey guys! My wife and I are coming to New York late Jan/early Feb for a couple weeks and planning to go to a Knicks game while we're over. Excited to finally go to the MSG.

Just after any tips to get the best price on a pair of tickets. Or the best website?

I've heard about Seatgeek so have been looking on that site. We aren't going to be able to afford tickets to the Lakers game so will probably aim for the Nuggets or Kings.

Any insight to best time to buy or what we should expect price-wise would be a great help!

I have season tickets to the Knicks. I can offer you a pair for face for certain games (after paypal fees). My seats are in the bridge section on center court. Seats are high up but you have a clear view of everything. Send me a PM if interested.

The oddest thing about this is that, if you ask any of the players who actually played in Europe, they'll tell you defense is much better, and the European game has a way more pro-defense set of rules. This is just scapegoating.

“We dominate for the [2023] national championship, we lose all the players, and then we're even better,” Hurley told CT Insider in mid-October. “We dominate even more, we lose all the players ... I think we should've been voted first."

"No team that beat UConn in Maui is ranked higher than 24th at KenPom. Colorado was projected to finish second-to-last in the Big 12 entering the season".

Whining about being ranked 3rd in the pre-season after losing 4 players to the NBA? What an ass. @Machinehead

There is something to be said for "this is the truth until I've seen otherwise."

We'll see what happens when they play for real.
