I got Hoop Dreams coach - The NBA thread

100%.

Washington still 1.5 games out of the play-in spots, with 11 games left to go. Not sure if they’re going to try and make a play for 10th or join the Tank for Wemby, but interesting to see how his time will look over the last 3 weeks of the regular season.

Fuck Tennessee. They get an all but walkover next round.

And now I have to keep an eye on Washington too? FFS.

Sweet 16 gets underway Friday. A few top seeds eliminated along the way, but looking forward to the Creighton/Princeton game in the South, seeing if Kansas State can get past the 7 seed Michigan State (really been enjoying watch Markquis Nowell for KSU), but my game of the round is Gonzaga/UCLA in the West.

I picked the Zags in my bracket, but they’ve been less than convincing, having to come from behind in both games so far.

NBL1 starts on Friday - I think, or it may have already started, still figuring that out…

Semi-pro competition. About 76 teams split into 5 conferences - North (QLD, NT), East (NSW, ACT), South (Vic, Tas), West (WA) and Central (SA).

Each team plays about 20 games within their conference between March and July. 1500 games across all conferences.

Then there are conference finals, with the winner, plus a wildcard (to make 6), who then go on to National Championships.

Seems to be a fair few NBL players continuing into this too.

From what I can read (website isn’t great on the phone), live streamed on the website and app, plus some games on Kayo Freebies.

I’m going to pretend to remember to support Penrith because the Inner West team is in Ryde?

I’m naturally going to completely forget about this and also Penrith appear to be shite.

I’m unlikely to watch much, if any.

In other news, KAT Back Baby!

You want to trade him for KD?

No thankyou.

go on, he’ll back for the play offs!

He’ll be back for when the Suns play the Wolves apparently…

Bama and Houston both eliminated in the Sweet 16, meaning there are no more #1 seeds left.

Texas the last #2 remaining, but they play #3 Xavier who have been pretty impressive so far.

There’s really only GOnzaga left on the I want to see win list isn’t it?

The Zags are who I’m backing.

I caught a few Kansas State games during the season and really enjoyed them, so wouldn’t be too upset to see them continue through.

Another couple of garbage time minutes for X in Washington’s win over Boston today - BUT, he did score his first points in the NBA, so, there’s that.

2 points in 2 minutes means 30 points if they give him 30 minutes!

Durant is back. Just enough games left in the reg for him to get injured for the playoffs …

Great end to the 76ers Celtics game… thought Tucker had fouled White on the successful three

I think it would be funny if the Bucks got to the finals as Crowder is there now.

If KD can stay healthy, Suns are a good chance for a decent finals run.

Booker gets the bullshit superstar whistle (8/15 points from the line tonight)…

Look at the assists. CP isn’t always getting 10-12 assists now. But the team is still getting about the 25 mark.

Xavier cooks getting good minutes against the heat…

20+ mins, 10 rebounds and 10 points
