Speaking of IU-UK. The 2007 game was awesome. UK had the older Crawford in Joe. Eric Gordon didn’t play but no worries. Because Joes little bro Jordan went for 20 that game. Beat em down 70-51. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Not a big Melo fan either but when he went off back in 2012 against the Bulls. I think it was maybe an Easter game. The clutch shots at the end were wild. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I’m not a big Paul George fan because I felt he was never committed to Indiana. But that dunk over Birdman in 13-14 was just crazy awesome. If only Vogel would have kept Hibbert on the floor... could have won the ECF. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

LeBron was so good for how young he was. Kinda crazy. I liked him more his first trip in Cleveland. Then once he left Miami he was just annoying. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

He still has to coach and win. He still has to evolve. Next season is still huge for him. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

It sucks he just went to a crappy organization. Obviously they turned out alright as Embiid can be a monster. But Okafor could have been very good too. Was just misused and tossed away. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I don’t expect Leal to. I fully expect Durham to be starting. I just think Leal should be starting because I think he will be very good and a good shooter. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I was a fan of Okafor. Unfortunately he is lazy on defense. But I also don’t think coaches remember how to utilize a guy like Okafor. He would have been a 20+ ppg guy and could have been a focal point with shooters surrounding him. Philly just couldn’t do that. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Great moment that can’t be found, at least a moment I remember and don’t know why. I think UNC was #14 or something when they came to Bloomington in 2012 when we were #1. Zeller had a putback Jan off a miss of his own layup. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Phoenix Suns 04-05. Some highlights. Stoudemire has went from playing 53 games and averaging 20.6 points in 03-04 to playing 80 games and averaging 26 a game in 04-05. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Well Nash took a Suns team that still had Joe Johnson, Shawn Marion, Amare Stoudemire and Leandro Barbosa that went 29-53 in 04-05 and the next season they went 62-20 by adding Nash and Richardson. But Nash made that engine go. He was just that smart. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Those guys leaving early to be undrafted or go 2nd round just need to understand how difficult making the league is. But some guys are content with just getting a paycheck. Which the G-League paycheck is supposed to jump up quite a bit. I know when I went and tried out for the Mad Antz a few years ago, the salary was like 25k or something. Which is what I make now as a cook. I guess that could really deter a lot of your Top 30 recruits or so. College basketball is going to be very different come that time.

BGleas, you were with the Celtics back in 04-05? How good was that Phoenix Suns team to watch in person? I looked it up and seen they went 1-1 on the season. That Phoenix was crazy on offense. D-Antoni had the 7 seconds or less offense well oiled with Nash, Joe Joshnson, Quentin Richardson, Shawn Mario and Amare Stoudemire. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I could see that. But I’m honestly glad it turned out how it did. No one thought Orlando would beat Cleveland. It was good for a team like that to make the Finals. I think people forget how great Howard was. He was an absolute monster. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

That’s why Archie has to continue recruiting top notch talent. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yea they could have. Though those LA teams were really good too with Kobe, Ariza/Artest, Pau Gasol in his prime, Andrew Bynum, Fisher and Odum. Those were actually some fun NBA seasons. Orlando was pretty good too. Van Grundy set up a perfect system for that team. They had their megastar in Howard. They played small ball perfectly with Lewis and Hedo playing the 3/4. Courtney Lee and Alston at guards. Gortat and Pietrus off the bench. If you remember, Jameer Nelson had been injured throughout the playoffs and didn’t play until the Finals. Had he been healthy, Magic could have beaten the Lakers. That and if Courtney Lee would have just dunked it, but instead missed that layup. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Once all 30 teams get a G-League team it’ll be easier as well. And hopefully teams see how it can be used as a farm system. Something it’s not been used much as. But I also think these kids will see how difficult it is. It takes a special talent to really make it out of HS and you have to have the mental strength to make it through. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

That definitely makes sense. Though I think that’d really have hurt a guy like Gerald Green who took several years to find his place in the league. We obviously have our LeBrons and Zions but most guys take a few years just in the league to be ready. Once the rule changes, I think you’ll see it get back to like 2005 where a few HS kids leave for the NBA. I think it’ll start out with relatively a lot trying to go, and that number going down as those players see the difficulty in trying to make it in the most difficult league to enter.

No I said we’d be lucky to get that over his career. Meaning he could average 2 points a game his freshman year and grow from there. It’s an average. And it means that we are still recruiting top talent. I’ve alert said it was a good get that adds depth. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

That’s an awesome story! I wasn’t a Paul Pierce fan but the dude could score. He just didn’t have any help until Ray and KG got there. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
