Can we this college stuff "shitball"?

No. That is for the Lakers.

 

[Black Mamba]

Hancock, signed.

 

[LegendofJoe]

Hancock looks just like Kevin Love, plays like him too.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

My god how does Breanne handle having Vicki as her mothee. Holy crap.

 

[exarkun]

Albrecht looks legitimately better than Burke lmao

In one game. Lulz

All these white dudes though, how are they so good? I thought they can't jump

 

[KingGondo]

ugh nba is gonna die

these kids blow

Maybe 2 guys in this game have legit NBA futures.

Relax bro.

 

[DominoKid]

Yeah, the college ball guys on GAF can be pretty insufferable with how "pure" and how "non-money influenced" college basketball is.

It frankly sucks.

there's only a handful of the college fans on GAF that actually think that.

 

[Black Mamba]

Some of the basketball was bad cuz college, but that first half ended up being entertaining.

Two no namers are the storylines. lol

Mo is a bitch

damn phil jackson's twitter is pretty funny.

It's entertaining sure, but I can't believe sports journalists are currently saying this is the "best half" of basketball this season. Level of play is abysmal. Stupid decisions, sloppy ball handling, lack of physicality... players are closer to ice skating than they are to pro ball. Sigh.

It's the "best half" because it's exciting as fuck since you got 2 white guys, that barely get any tick, finessing the shit out of this game.

Its the best half of basketball since Jeremy Lin went HAM on Kobe and the Lakers during Linsanity.

I like how people don't realize he means momentum and not some person.

 

[thekad]

Don't think anyone did. Does this have any bearing on whether or not he will still be with the team next year? Maybe they trade him?

Dwight and Love to Houston. Do it Morey!

 

[Future PhaZe]

Hardaway Jr's handles.

So terrible. Insta-turnover.

 

[Black Mamba]

These refs are hot trash.

Burke alive.

Dieng has been hanging out on the perimeter all game on defense, not.smart.

More of his teammates' faults. They keep going under on these screens and he auto-switches. He has the foot speed to kind of keep up, so I get why he does it.

Edit: Ross reminds me of Crawful, or JR Smith when he does the dumb shit. But, dude can score, and kind of defend. Which means he wont defend in the NBA.

He's been loafing out there a lot though, he's been out of position for the rebound because of it.

He's a damn good passer though. I love seeing that from bigs.

 

[Future PhaZe]

I have a hard time judging guards in college basketball. The college 3 line makes things so clogged that it's just...it's not even close to the type of ball they'll play in the NBA.

 

[exarkun]

watching this tournament, I want Dieng. Dude's athleticism makes up for whatever offensive liabilities he occasionally has. Damn at his shotblocking.

He looks like he'll be pretty effective in PNR also. He'll get killed by post up C's in the NBA but there are only like 3.

Moris your avatar has been decided upon, it's wonderful. We'll wait until it's official though, cause your gonna want to go lurk until October once you see it...

What was the bet?

Its too easy.

Point guard doesn't change. All good point guards do the same things. All bad point guards do the same things too.

Too late. Damage done.

You can't unbreak a heart.

Yeah it's really easy.

In true Knicks fashion I'm sure it'll underwhelm.

 

[masud]

What was the bet?

He bet that the Nets would have a better record than the Knicks. I told him not to, now he gon learn...

teehee

 

[Nori Chan]

Why would you make that bet?

Aren't you a nuggets fan? And did Syphon take that as a net fan?

[Sho_Nuff82]

Tim Hardaway Jr cut Dieng's soul chain, my god.

 

[exarkun]

The officiating is so poor in this game. Goddamn.

 

[Blackace]

Tim Hardaway Jr cut Dieng's soul chain, my god.

he is gunning tho...

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Is it a JR smith pic with some text about Pipe or Amare saying he's going to the playoffs or Melo with "MVP" over it?

Stop me if I guess it.

 

[Dominican Power]

Back to mlb-gaf you go.

 

[DominoKid]

Tim Hardaway Jr cut Dieng's soul chain, my god.

nah Dieng was smart enough to pull back. if he had went in fully he would got bodied though.

 

[masud]

Why would you make that bet?

Aren't you a nuggets fan? And did Syphon take that as a net fan?

I was never a Nugget fan lol, I do that shit once a season helps me deal with the pain of being a Knick fan. What Syphon was doing I can only assume was an homage to me. He wasn’t in on the bet anyway though.

 

[Black Mamba]

Hancock has made some damn big plays tonight.

 

[pilonv1]

Its too easy.

Point guard doesn't change. All good point guards do the same things. All bad point guards do the same things too.

Most elite skills will transfer in some way. It's the flaws that get exposed in the pros.

 

[exarkun]

Dieng with another year to work on his offensive game would be a quality top pick next year. But with the way the draft is shaping up, I think he'd go early.

[Sho_Nuff82]

Block of the year and a terrible foul call.

 

[Black Mamba]

That is a foul!?

 

[Tragicomedy]

Totally clean block there.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Disclaimer: I don't watch college ball and I've only caught the last half of this game.

Last year when I saw Anthony Davis, it was clear he had NBA potential. All I see here are a bunch of college kids, Burke looks a'ight.

 

[K.Jack]

Oh my goodness these college refs are disgraceful.

 

[Gordon0Freeman]

Jesus Christ these refs suck ass

[LegendofJoe]

Dieng is going to be a good mid-1st big for whoever needs a big in that range.
