OT: NBA & Basketball - 2024-25 Season

[Beliveau]

Gonna have to disagree with “the best team won”. Duke blew that game and was by far and away the best team in the country. Epic collapse by Duke. Lot of little mistakes and Houston pounced on every single one. I will give Houston that. Duke’s youth and weak schedule showed in those final moments. Excited to see Walter Clayton in the championship

Interesting, not sure how their model ranks and gets those numbers. Though, I will say the ACC was seen as being weak this year and Duke didn't play in a lot of close, contested games late.

This is moving at a crazy pace for a college game.

You can tell there's a handful of WNBA talent on the court.

 

[Machinehead]

What a showing by Tampa Bay who are in the discussion for WNBA-16.

UCONN with one of the best tournaments in NCAA history. Not one game was close.

Agreed. The broadcast is very biased pro-UCONN and I love it!

I love Ryan and Rebecca.

Rebecca was born in Hartford and went to UCONN. Liberty ring of honor member. Ryan is from New York and called Liberty games on YES.

They're ESPN's #1 crew now and I love when the Liberty are on ESPN and both announcers try and fail to pretend they're not Liberty fans.

I realize it's for the whole Final Four, but I think Strong deserved MVP.

 

[Machinehead]

Also needs to be mentioned that Maya Moore is a finalist. For me, a better player than Sue Bird, but doesn't get the same attention.

Sylvia Fowles should also be a shoo-in.

@Beliveau Guess who just got elected!

All three of them.

I think this is fair, despite the title in 2023.

They have a once-ever talent and they're really not getting enough out of it.

Hang the banner, we lost to Boston in OT.

Knicks should fire Thibodeau tonight and hire Malone

 

[Machinehead]

Tbh I thought the Knicks played well. Porzingis took a shot from Delaware and it went in. Sometimes, what can you do?

My only thing is, at the end of regulation, knowing they need a three, how do you not send them to the line immediately? We've had this issue with Thibodeau before. Game was on TNT but I know Clyde was beside himself somewhere.
