    History Shows Pacers vs. Thunder May Draw Record-Low Ratings

    I think OKC would have won even if Haliburton had played. They are the best team in the league and they proved it all year. However, I counted five phantom calls in favor of SGA last night with no reciprocal treatment in favor of Indiana on the other end. OKC plays tackle football on defense...

    Reusse: Niko Medved returns to U with advantages over predecessor, fondness for Clem Haskins

    We'll never know if Johnson could have been halfway decent because Coyle kept insisting that he was doing NIL "the right way" at the time. According to Reusse, the gophers are now at about $6M. The top programs are in the $7-10M range. Better than it was, but still a ways to go.

    Reusse: Niko Medved returns to U with advantages over predecessor, fondness for Clem Haskins

    The best part of the column was Reusse's comparison of Coyle at the beginning of NIL to Calvin Griffith at the dawn of free agency. They both "abstained from digging for dollars."

    Buss family agrees to sell Lakers to Mark Walter at $10B valuation

    I'd love to know what the Internal Rate of Return was on that investment.

    The guy I want at 17 or 31 is Hansen Yang. He looks like he has big upside.

    All Things 2025 Minnesota Timberwolves Off-Season Thread

    I don't want a 37 year old who plays 50 games a year signing a one week extension. We are already stuck with Rudy for way, way too long. Everybody talks about how Rudy cut the wolves a break. Who else was going to give a 32 year old who does one thing that can't be easily replaced $105M in a...

    Buss family agrees to sell Lakers to Mark Walter at $10B valuation

    Glen must be spitting mad. Lore and ARod aren't going to have a friendly audience if they ask for public money to build an arena for what is now probably a $4B asset that they purchased for $1.5B.

    Shama: Medved is a popular hire as the new men’s Golden Gophers basketball coach. That won’t translate immediately into big crowds at The Barn though

    Scheduling a halfway decent home non con schedule in his first year was a layup and Medved clanked it. We aren't asking for much. Disappointing.

    Winning and a competitive home preseason schedule. People are not going to show up for Southeast Northeast Westeast Columbia School of Mining. It's insulting.

    I don't want 37 year old KD for even one year at $50-60M. Fool's gold. Don't even think about it.

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    It's not the right thing to do if the folks who never thought he should have been hired in the first place and/or were not enamored of the job he did as a coach take another opportunity to whack him on social media. He doesn't owe anybody anything. Additionally, I think it was coolhand who...

    The biggest player in the off season might be a 5'4" 75 year old named Mike Bloomberg. If he really is a member of this purchasing entity with some say in the management of the asset, they will have the cash to upgrade the roster. If not, they are undercapitalized and won't have the money to...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    We were the perfect opponent for OKC. A dribble dominant, one on one, low ball movement team.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    In a way Ant did solve it. OKC decided that Ant wasn't going to beat them. He had two guys on him at all times on the perimeter and the defense completely collapsed on him in the paint (plus Rudy was in there). DDV, Jaden and NAW were wide open and he found them some of the time. Dort is...

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    To my knowledge Holtz, Gutekunst, Wacker, Brewster, Kill, Claeys, Monson, Tubby, Mega Tongue and all of the WBB coaches (except Whalen) never gave interviews after they were fired.

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    That's been rehashed a million times and has nothing to do with whether or not he should make a public statement.

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    I purposely left the Twins off of my list. They often keep their fired managers in the organization.
