Re: 2024 NBA General Offseason News

It’s ridiculous. I think it comes down to pure jealousy. The penalty for that needs to be very harsh to send a message that garbage won’t be tolerated. Suspend her 10 or 20 games and see how often it happens in the future. Whether they like it or not Caitlin Clark is their cash cow and she has to b...

Re: 2024 NBA General Offseason News

Well, I'm sure there's a lot of jealousy involved, and also probably the feeling that she hasn't proven anything or "paid her dues" yet. But it's not really that unusual to see if physical play will bother a finesse player. Cedrtainly this instance doesn't resemble a normal basketball play...

Re: 2024 NBA General Offseason News

I saw Bill Walton attend a few U of A basketball games during the era when his son was playing there (I was also going to U of A at the time!). He went in the normal gate and entrance like everybody else, frequently getting recognized and chatted up the other fans. He was kind, patient, and friendl...

Re: 2024 Suns General Offseason News

Van was sort of the Dan Majerle of his day - very popular with the fans, a hard-nosed player who was a borderline All-Star at his peak. I think the main confusion is the assumption that the expansion draft took place before the college draft. It did take place 2 days before rounds 2-12 on (May 4th &...

lol I was gonna say….. why are we questioning our official NBA lexicon. Solid work Bobster!

Re: 2024 Suns General Offseason News

Interesting…weird bbref has it listed the way they do. I guess maybe “Original Sun” has more to do with just being the best player on that initial team..or he did score the first 2 points. No one knows Gary Gregor, gotta twist the facts a tiny bit to make it someone fans care about. I'm sure it has...

Re: 2024 Suns General Offseason News

I wonder if we're going to get the G-League Ignite players that are still under contract, or how they're going to set up the initial players for the Valley Suns? The original Suns, I believe, got to pick from a pool of players that were made available from the other teams at the time. Each team cou...

Re: 2024 NBA General Offseason News

Well, having Allen back will help, but I pretty much agree that I don't expect improvement from the others, except perhaps Bol. Gordon, Okogie, Eubanks and O'Neale are what they are.
