Oso planning to go pro
The refs aren’t really the problem here.
The Lakers are going to win because LbJ is the best player of his generation. The Heat have had a nice run. They are not going to beat the Lakers 4 out of 6 with their current health.
And is the second best player on his current team. The Heat have been depth players, but when you have the 2 best players in the series, its tough to lose.And I never said the Lakers would win BECAUSE of the narrative. But if you think the Heat are going to get a single favorable whistle comparatively, you just don't watch the NBA.
Uh no. Lebron is the best player on his team. He was 2nd in MVP balloting.
I don’t care what balloting says. Have you been watching the series or the playoffs? AD is unreal.
JFB. Wow. Just wow.
Erk Spoelstra: "How else do you say it other than Jimmy F'ing Butler?"Heard it here first!
Nigel Hayes (former UW-Madison player) on Tyler Herro: "This is going to make some people mad. I was one of the ones who advised him not to go to Wisconsin with the talent he has."https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30005821/nba-finals-no-rookie-more-confident-miami-heat-tyler-herro
Yeah it was him and Dekker.Then you had guys like Zak Showalter calling out Kobe King on Twitter when King decided to transfer, and Herro went to Twitter to tell Showalter he'd still be in college if he hadn't decommitted from UW.
Decker told Hero not to go to UW? That's wild considering the success he had there. I know he was higher rated and likely dropped but still.
Wisconsin doesn’t develop guys into NBA players. Nigel Hayes had his name pop up in some mock drafts following his sophomore year, including some having him late first round. He elected to come back to “develop”. It didn’t happen as far as the NBA is concerned.Greg Gard and his staff aren’t interested in getting kids into the NBA.
Yep compared to Wojo and his one player. Two if you generously count Juan.
I don't think either Dekker or Hayes straight up told Herro not to go to UW, but from what I have heard they told him that if his ultimate goal was to play professionally, and as soon as possible, that the UW system isn't necessarily the best for making that happen.
He will get hate for it, but they are completely right. Badger fans love to point to Kaminsky and Dekker, but completely miss the point. The Badgers havent had a highly rated recruit come in and leave for the NBA in under 3 years under the Bo/Gard reign...ever.Greg Steisma, top 35 recruit. Stayed 4 years, undrafted.Brian Butch, top 10 McD AA. F-ing redshirted, stayed 5 years, undrafted.Sam Dekker, top 15-20 recruit, stayed 3 years.Devin Harris, highly rated recruit, but again, stayed 3 years.Its a great system for under the radar or late blooming guys like Kaminsky, Alando Tucker, or Jon Leuer, but if you're trying to come in and ball out right away and bounce in a year or two, its the worst place for that. Wojo brought in a one and done and let him go to work and he ended up being a top 20 pick. With the incompleteness of his game, he wouldn't have been the go-to guy in Madison for a year or two, no chance he's getting drafted right away.Wojo has had 3 top 40 level guys (before Dawson). One was a top 20 pick and the other was a first team AA and set a pile of records. The other was Joey and thats an incomplete. I'm not a Wojo fan, but he's still gonna be a better spot for you to get to the league, or put yourself in that position quickly, than Gard or his mentor.
