They make that call all the time.

Lol except he very obviously tripped over the defender's foot, but good try.
-
Durant gets to hit dudes in the face without being called for a foul.
-
All these stoppages are helping the Cavs keep the pace down.

I think the "no killer instinct" think is overblown. These are his last 11 games facing elimination. He might not be the best guy to take the last shot, but he's going to give you everything you need to get to that point.

(2019) PF Isaiah Stewart to Washington
Hoosierfan2017 replied to Uspshoosier's topic in Indiana Basketball Recruiting Forum
It's going to be interesting to see how well Patrick Ewing can recruit at Georgetown. At his age I could see him not wanting to put a ton of energy into it, but his name alone will probably keep a lot of recruits interested. -
(2017) PF Clifton Moore Jr. to IU

I would be more concerned if the freshmen went to their first workout here and didn't leave thinking "omg that was hard" -
(2018) RB Kristian Pechac

We need all social media deciphering hands on deck for this one. Let's get to work. -
You're free to do it if you don't mind looking like a sleazeball.
-
You should probably get that checked out then.

Not parallel situations. Archie had just been hired and we're in the same conference.

That's gonna be an awkward dinner table tonight. -
This is a really bad idea, imo. It should be left up to the teams, and the problem of players resting is really blown out of proportion in the first place. It only happens a handful of times a year. I'm not a big fan of Adam Silver. He has no business telling coaches how to handle their teams. He should be more worried about the fact that the playoffs were a joke this season anyway. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/adam-silver-drafts-guidelines-penalizing-teams-resting-multiple-starters-night-042849535.html

Random IUBB Recruiting
Hoosierfan2017 replied to hoosierpap's topic in Indiana Basketball Recruiting Forum
http://www.scout.com/college/indiana/story/1784179-four-star-michigan-forward-visits-indiana "The cons are that I have been there almost all my life, and staying I wouldn't get to experience anything else." I've alluded to something like this about Musa Jallow so this was interesting to read. Seems like living in East Lansing might not help the Spartans with this kid as much as one might expect. -
Chris Holtmann named Ohio State Head Coach
Hoosierfan2017 replied to FortWayneHoosier's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
It really must suck going through life being as angry about things as Dan Dakich is. -
LeBron with his 9th triple double, passing Magic Johnson for most in Finals history. No other player has more than 2. He also has passed Michael Jordan for 3rd in Finals scoring.

IUBB/IUFB Student Ticket Process
Hoosierfan2017 replied to The Ola Depot's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
I just graduated so all of this information is based on my experiences this past school year. If anything has changed for this upcoming year someone please correct me. If you're going to be a freshman you can sign up for them at freshmen orientation at the SRSC. After freshman year you can buy them when you sign up for fall classes. Early during the fall semester (late August/early September I believe) you get an email about signing up for your ticket group which is where you and your buddies can put yourselves in a group. You get a certain number of basketball games depending on how many students sign up for tickets. The price you pay is for the full allotment and then IU refunds you the difference between the full package and the number of tickets you get. For basketball it's based on seniority so the students that accumulate more points get better seats. For each game you either get an assigned seat or GA (which is first come, first serve). Personally I prefer getting assigned seats now that they've expanded GA to include the balcony. Football tickets are on your phone and you can sit wherever you want in the student section. I used the "wallet" app on my iPhone, I'm not sure what is used on other phones. Bring your student ID to both sports because technically they have to see it to let you in. Some of the people working are more lenient than others about it, but bring it just in case. -
Not sure how you get "bashing a player whose parent was murdered" out of that, but oh well. LeBron never even had a dad. It sucks that Jordan had to go through that, but I'm still not 100% convinced that was why he quit. His comments about David Stern when he retired lead me to believe the conspiracy theory holds some weight. The Decision was dumb, but his immature announcement raised millions for charity so even Lebron's screw ups are beneficial. Jordan didn't play during the social media age. When LeBron complains about a call it's seen by millions of people on the Internet. That didn't happen when Jordan played. Imagine if it had and pictures of Jordan out gambling at the casinos the night before playoff games were leaked. LeBron would get crucified about how he doesn't take the game seriously.

I think Shaq's prime was better than anyone else's prime. I don't think he sustained it long enough to be the goat, but idk if anyone was better than him at his best.
-
Jordan would never pass the ball late in the game like LeBron did last night. Guys like Jordan always wanted to take the shot. Jordan never would've blown a lead like the Cavs did last night with everything on the line. Jordan made his teammates better and they never faltered down the stretch. The legend of Michael Jordan grows more and more every year. Lucky for him this happened in the 2nd round so it doesn't count or something like that.
-
Beats me, is it Lebron's fault when his teammates miss shots? He didn't make Kevin Love go 1-9 last night. He didn't make Kyrie Irving go 0-7 from 3 last night. He didn't make Tristan Thompson only grab 3 rebounds last night. Is he supposed to do all that for him? Jordan was a gambling addict that punched out his teammates and cheated on his wife but yes let's discuss how he conducted himself. Jordan is supposed to be this ultra competitor but he quit on his team during his prime. Wow. Imagine the scrutiny if LeBron had quit basketball during his prime.
-
1a and 1b right now with it being a toss up in who is where. I think LeBron will be ahead once he retires but until then it's hard to say. If he becomes the first player with 30,000 points, 10,000 rebounds and 10,000 assists I think that makes a pretty convincing argument for best overall player of all time.
-
Name some players that played with LeBron that played worse with him than without him. The notion that he makes his teammates worse is absurd and would get you laughed at by analysts. This team won 66 games in 2008-2009.
-
I don't think there's any shame in Jordan getting swept by those teams because the Celtics were extremely tough back then, and I don't think there's any shame in LeBron getting swept in the Finals either. He was rolling with Drew Gooden and Sasha Pavlovic against the Spurs jugarnaut in 2007 at age 22, and now he's going up against the super team to beat all super teams. If he came in, wet the bed and got swept then sure, let's have the conversation, but he's averaging a 30 point triple double. He's bringing it, he just doesn't have the fire power behind him to compete with the Warriors. I just brought up the question because if getting swept in the Finals twice disqualifies LeBron from any GOAT conversation then we should apply the same standard to Jordan and realize that he got swept in the first round twice.
-
Wait you didn't know that Jordan only played 6 years in the NBA and won the championship every one of them??
