This is either really great or what's been hurting us, depending on what you think is the recipe for success in today's NBA. Teams are letting it fly from 3 more and more, while our best players are midrange assassins. You need the midrange game in the postseason when teams run you off the line...but you also gotta *make* the postseason to take advantage of that skill.

Vogel even bringing that stuff up shows he's grasping. You got smacked by 20 by a team missing its best player. You got bigger issues to address.

I feel like the expiration date for complaining about a game's officiating is about 24 hours. If you're still talking about it days later, get over it and move on.

Trading twos for threes has never been a good strategy. And we give up way too many open threes.

Thanks for sharing. That is a very in-depth article. Ishbia sounds like the Michael Jordan of mortgages. He's super competitive. Well, Gilbert has a NBA championship and Ishbia doesn't. That means he needs 2 to beat his rival. :D Let's go!

The funny thing is that I had never heard of UWM until Ishbia bought the team. Maybe they're more of a East coast thing? I did have a Rocket mortgage on my house when I refinanced during the pandemic for about a year until they sold it to another company.

Here's a thread about Ishbia and his company being less than savory. I'm not surprised, most billionaires aren't great people and have a lot of dirt under their fingernails. But I won't blindly defend or support him either as I see some on social doing at the moment.

Some NSFW language

UWM is who holds my mortgage.

Interesting. I've owned five houses and never once had UWM.

Like I said, the guy is ultra competitive. Needs to work on his expletive repertoire though and mix up a little more. :P

Book pushing towards an all-nba season…think he’ll get 3rd team but he’s got a shot at 2nd team I think.
