By RobNBanks Go To PostWhat’s fun about watching a bunch of amateurs? Most people don’t watch B level movies or read fan fictions yet college sports are bigger than professional sports in AmericaIt's just tribalism m8. God made the sky Carolina blue for a reason damnit
By s y Go To PostI think Jokic just recorded the fastest triple double ever
By Zeus Ex Machina Go To PostWho was the team he got that triple double on?Bucks
By RobNBanks Go To PostI have never understood why people watch college sports, that shit is just weird to me. Same as going to your local rec center and watching people play
The first thing is that football and basketball began as collegiate sports, and in a pre-tv era. Aside from barnstorming teams the local college squad was your only option if you wanted to watch something that wasn't baseball. And there wasn't a body of highly developed pro athletes to compare them to; for the most part the full-time athlete didn't exist until the 1960s.
As I understand it, it really got going as as a regional thing. College sports were able to serve areas that were in between pro markets, and who may not have identified with them, or in places where traditionally strong schools had built a following. College teams were both more affordable and accessible. This became bolstered in the 80s & 90s by a media market which had 3 major networks and 4+ sports-dedicated networks starved for content and willing to pump up what they could get. Gambling and apparel advertisers played a part too. The spread of cable TV was where it really hit a critical mass and became the monstrosity that it is today.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postbiannual exception for IT to help the wiz bench next yearWhy do people keep thinking he'll come off the bench for them?
He won't.
Fully expect an Iverson like speech from him soon.
By Doomsayer Go To PostIT is terrible
How to go from the conference finals to the Liaoning Dinosaurs in under 18 months.
By s y Go To Postisaiah should have sat the season. getting so much unwarranted hate.how is it unwarranted
By diehard Go To Posthow is it unwarrantedThis is the same dude shitting on Spo and propping Justise as the next Big Thing for years.
By diehard Go To Posthow is it unwarrantedHe's obviously playing hurt and barely has any rhythm but people are shitting on him like this is his normal level of play.
By s y Go To PostHe's obviously playing hurt and barely has any rhythm but people are shitting on him like this is his normal level of play.then stop playing hurt
By diehard Go To Postthen stop playing hurt
We win this game with Clarkson in there instead of IT shitting up the entire 4th quarter.
Fuck Magic. Fuck Pelinka.
Fuck Magic. Fuck Pelinka.
By Kuma Go To PostIT2 tank commander!they dont have a pick.
By diehard Go To Postthen stop playing hurtAnd stop puffing your chest withan "angry at the world" complex and shitting on other guys who put in the work. Sit you ass down and Biyombo.
By unknown Go To Postthey dont have a pick.
I know :)
By s y Go To PostHe's obviously playing hurt and barely has any rhythm but people are shitting on him like this is his normal level of play.
It wasn't just his play that got him run out of Cleveland. He's not making any friends out there and he's not doing enough on the court to justify his attitude.
By diehard Go To Posthow much more time does the Thon Maker experiment get?I'd be surprised if they were ready to bail on him. He was pretty decent in the playoffs last year and even if his age is fake he's still pretty young and hasn't filled out yet.

Duke basketball games are free for undergrads and you get to be loud and jump around for 2 hours.
I love college basketball because it reminds me of college. The basketball is just a bonus.
Also, college football is legitimately a better product than professional football

College basketball is the ugliest sport in existence.
CFB is crazy hype though. I don't see how you could diss that.

Second only to AFL
By s y Go To Post:rolleyes:I'm telling you, he's like 3 more bad decisions away from getting crossed up by Stephon Marbury & Money Weems in Guangdong. He doesn't have Brad Stepehens building an entire team around his every weakness anymore. People forget he was seen as a net negative in Sacramento.

This lost wasn't him. It s on Luke not giving Zubac 30+ mins. Wolves wasn't stopping the IT2 and Big Zu combo.
By giririsss Go To PostNaw.
AFL's enjoyable when good teams are playing.
Still ugly, most of them can't catch or kick
By Kuma Go To PostThis lost wasn't him. It s on Luke not giving Zubac 30+ mins. Wolves wasn't stopping the IT2 and Big Zu combo.
Of course the loss isn't on him. He only got 24 minutes off the bench backing up [checks box score] ...some Laker guy. That's where he's at now.
By pilonv1 Go To PostStill ugly, most of them can't catch or kickThat s why i siad good teams.
Watching bad teams play .. it's an awful sport.
The good ones? It's highly entertaining.
Aren't you a league fan anyway?
Jamal Murray, Gary Harris, and Nikola Jokic combined tonight for:
84 points , 21 rebounds , 24 assists, 5 steals, 2 blocks.
30-44 FG ,13-17 3ptFG , 13-15 FT.

Lakers are hot trash again. not blaming IT, but the absence of Clarkson is huge.
I see IT2 and Zubae developing a nice chemistry though.

Yes, I'm programmed to hate AFL regardless
By pilonv1 Go To PostYes, I'm programmed to hate AFL regardlessWas going to say none of them would know how to kick or catch anyway.
