Justin Lewis just sign back with the Bulls on a Two-Way contract.

Too bad

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Is Justin already recovered from the ACL? Or is this mainly for next season?

Glad for Justin. Hopefully this is for next season. Maybe he can be ready for the Summer League.

Oso at 60
OMax at 62

on Sam Vecenie's NBA Top 100 Big Board this morning.

Ighodaro’s ability to flip screens and get Kolek into the middle of the floor, in addition to his short-roll passing and playmaking (he averages 3.3 assists per game), is what makes Marquette’s offense go. Marquette assists on about 60 percent of his field goals, which is top 20 in the country. Ighodaro learning to shoot from distance and continuing to improve his ability to defend in space would be enormous for his future.

Full Vecenie text on Oso:

There are a couple of other upperclassmen I really like who haven’t gotten a ton of publicity. Marquette 6-foot-9 big Oso Ighodaro is arguably the most versatile screener and dribble-handoff big in all of college basketball. He’s the key to that Marquette offense currently in the top five nationally. I love Tyler Kolek’s passing and playmaking ability, but we saw last season how inefficient his game can look without someone like Ighodaro consistently creating that separation for him with his quick hands and quick feet in those screen/handoff exchanges. Ighodaro’s ability to flip screens and get Kolek into the middle of the floor, in addition to his short-roll passing and playmaking (he averages 3.3 assists per game), is what makes Marquette’s offense go. Marquette assists on about 60 percent of his field goals, which is top 20 in the country. Ighodaro learning to shoot from distance and continuing to improve his ability to defend in space would be enormous for his future. But I love the baseline skills he brings every single night, being involved in almost everything that Marquette runs with Kolek.

What a quote by Bill Simmons.

“There’s Jimmy and Spo and Bam and Riley lurking every April like Michael F*cking Myers. You know how the movie ends, and you'll probably survive, but you'll also probably be standing in your burning house covered in blood. Any Jimmy Butler team scares the sh!t out of me.”

It’s hilarious how Celtic fans are terrified of Miami

Nice to see Jamal on the Heat bench tonight for the play in game against the Bulls.

Also nice to see a guy named James F. Butler take over down the stretch.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Also nice to see a guy named James F. Butler take over down the stretch.

And hearing "Jimmy F'n Butler" never gets old either.  Got to love it!

Can’t wait to see Jimmy Butler start his summer vacation in ten days or so

[GoldenEagles03]

Jimmy Butler with 35, 11, 5, and 3 in a dismantling of the Bucks.

Marquette players and coaches had a box for the action.

Anybody got answers yet as to why Jimmy dislikes Marquette yet?

This is the third time that Jimmy Butler has had 35 points, 10 assists and five rebounds in a playoff game.

Only LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West and Russell Westbrook have done it more.

Looks like it might be Crowder and Matthews  starting their vacations in 10 days or so.

If Giannis is out, might be

[BrewCity83]

My money's on Jamal and Jimmy starting their vacations early.  No way does Miami continue to hit 60% of their threes while Milwaukee hits 22% of theirs.

[rocket surgeon]

with miami's tyler herro out-changes the scenario a little bit.  the bucks are too deep for the heat and if they can stay healthy from here on out, they will be tough to beat even without the freak. 

  if i'm recruiting for MU, take the prospective baller to a couple of bucks-heat games, sit back and let the game do the talking.  then intro them to "the MU boys"

  jimmy and his bulletin board material-that's a bozo no-no?  ain't no fat lady singing if ya can't pull her away from the golden corral food line
