2021-22 NBA Thread: The Bucks are Reigning Champs

[Uncle Rico]

And/or how good NBA players are.

The worst nba team will whoop any college team

[JWags85]

People underestimate how bad most of college basketball is

Mike Daum was a force of nature, did whatever he wanted, didn't get a sniff of the NBA.

Look at ol Frank Kaminsky, dude is wallpaper in the NBA. 

People overestimate college bigs.  I mean Cockburn probably won't get drafted.  Oscar Tshiebwe is probably the best big in the NCAA this year and he's a second rounder at best.

The worst nba team will whoop any college team

An NBA "all-star" team of ten guys no one ever heard of would win easily.

Heck, a G League team would roll over any college team.

Could Gonzaga beat the Jaguars??

[Uncle Rico]

Could Gonzaga beat the Jaguars??

They'd beat the A's after all is said and done

[MuggsyB]

Okay.....let's change one variable.  If Wade, Holiday, Morant, Curry, and Kyrie were all 21 could they still handle a team with bigs?  My thought was they would win every game by 30 or more but was just looking for confirmation.

[MUfan12]

Wes makes a couple big defensive plays and a late three to help the Bucks lock one up tonight.

You could find the 5 players that are the combination of smallest and least skilled NBA players and they still run through the NCAA Tournament.

How would the Mets rotation fare in the CWS?


Anyways, are all Bulls fans demanding Marcus Smart be shot to the moon for injuring Steph?

We could start that team with Markus, and Sam Hauser. Too soon?

I like it. Letter writing tears team NBA apart.

But that's just it. The all time leader in scoring in the best basketball conference ever formed can't get time on an NBA court. The NBA game is just about an entirely different sport.

Yup.

Check out some of the rosters some time. A huge percentage are guys that even fairly serious college BB fans have never heard of.

Would the following beat Gonzaga, AZ, or Kansas? or Kentucky St Peter's
Jose Alvarado
Anthony Gill
Kiefer Sykes
Jordan McLaughlin
CJ Elleby

Perfect examples.  Of that kind of funny list of NBA end of the bench guys you have....

ACC DPOY/Second Team All ACC
Second Team All-ACC x2 and HM AA
2 time Horizon POY and HM AA x2
1st team All PAC 12
1st team All PAC 12

And that's all not including their multiple years of playing basketball solely as a job against higher level competition.  They'd easily handle a college team by double digits

I would agree with you. Their names might not be household names, but anyone who gets PT in the NBA (I picked guys who have played in most of their teams games) would easily beat a college team who might be lucky to have 2 guys stick the NBA.

I hope the Bucks call Alex Caruso and apologize for last night's beat down.

[GB Warrior]

Giannis with a near triple double with points, boards and turnovers. Still plus 28 in his minutes

[JWags85]

I'm just happy he has a seemingly normal quality of life.  I was under the impression he would never walk or talk again after the heinous attempt on his life.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Going to be interesting to see which East contender gets stuck playing the Nets in the first round

[wadesworld]

I love what Tristan Thompson's career has become.  Talk a big game, get yammed on, start shoving people while you're getting blown out.

We were moments away from Giannis calling him a f'ing baby.

Going to be more interesting if they track down the 6 spot now and avoid that play in all together.

[JWags85]

I find it amusing, and the classic non-parallel of college game to pro game, that John Konchar had a very good college career but was never Summit POY cause Mike Daum won every year he was there.  Now Konchar plays legit minutes for a top 3 seed NBA playoff team and Daum is in Europe, and not even on a Euroleague/EuroCup level team.

At least Jimmy Butler's picking fights with males in the pros.

Then again, he only picks fights in the pros when he knows there's 10+ massive dudes between him and the guy he's tough-guying.

Implying he isn't tough is ridiculous.
