Most warring nation on the planet goes to war saying they are trying to ensure peace by striking a nation that doesn't attack anyone else.

North Korea has the right idea. Getting a nuke is the only way to protect your sovereignty

Quote from: panda on February 27, 2026, 08:33:11 PMI know there's 21 spots in between 58 and 37. And those spots are usually occupied by teams with road wins and quad 1 victories.

At large bids go to the top 37 teams outside of conference tourney champions. Need to go to top 45ish teams to include best 37 plus top conference teams or assumed conference tourney champions.

Fiserv needs a new banner: years (well, partial years) where we "metrically played like a bubble team"

Quote from: MU82 on February 27, 2026, 07:40:16 PMSoul Power on Amazon Prime is an interesting look back at the old ABA. Lots of great footage and interviews.

I was a teenage basketball fanatic when Dr. J was with the Nets, and he was like a god on the court. So episodes 2 and 3, especially, resonated with me.

I enjoyed this as well.  I was previously unaware of the KY Colonels unique story and intrigued about their being left out of the merger.

Cavs up 3 vs Pistons with 7 seconds to go. Cavs try to foul near midcourt but Pistons player anticipates it and goes up into shooting motion, and ref correctly calls 3-shot foul. Pistons player makes all 3, and Detroit wins in OT.

Near the end of OT, Pistons face same decision but elect not to foul ... and Cavs badly miss a 3 at the buzzer.
