Double Double Guy

Yearly comment on the March Madness timing for the Sweet 16 being so idiotic

@ryanhammer09 Pace can clash on a game by game basis. But ruling out a team as a tourney winner based on pace being too high or low is the issue. Net rating is what decides if a team is going to compete, and how far they can go.

@doubledoubleguy why do u think iowa beat florida? Forced Florida to play one of their slowest tempo games all year

SWEET 16 Trapezoid of Excellence 4/5 original pre tourney zoid teams remain. Illinois joins, 7 others SO close. The elite slower paced teams dominating. BOTH outliers Iowa & Alabama still dancing thanks to forcing opponents to play THEIR way.

For the survivor folk, if you picked Illinois already you might’ve fucked yourself if they beat Houston.

Wow that’s an insane technical call on UCLA. Basically loses the game for them

Why tf did the refs just stop the clock for Florida so they can inbound???

@sicbones13 @RaineIvan20 @NBAOfficial @BobbyMarks42 If you don’t want to listen to me, feel free to listen to from. @grok please explain to this fool, that the NBA gives technicals based off reactions and visible actions, not off what was actually said. Thanks

@doubledoubleguy @RaineIvan20 @NBAOfficial @BobbyMarks42 He reacted by talking. No amount of shitty logic is going to save this dumb take. And I'm frankly not interesting in hearing more of your idiocy.

The technical fouls on Luka Dončić (LAL) and Goga Bitadze (ORL) issued with 1:19 remaining in the 3rd quarter on March 21 have been rescinded upon league office review.

@G7SportsTalk @RaineIvan20 @NBAOfficial @BobbyMarks42 Just because the NBA employs these people doesn’t mean they suddenly become the judge of what is or isn’t over the line (because that’s impossible to judge).

@doubledoubleguy @RaineIvan20 @NBAOfficial @BobbyMarks42 It actually is the NBA’s place as the players and the referees are all employees of the NBA! Hope that helps!

@sicbones13 @RaineIvan20 @NBAOfficial @BobbyMarks42 The tech, in this case, is about reaction, not substance of what was said. Luka reacted in a way that is cause for a tech.

@doubledoubleguy @RaineIvan20 @NBAOfficial @BobbyMarks42 If it's impossible to draw the line, then they shouldn't be trying to draw a line by giving a tech. You didn't think this idiotic argument through.

@RaineIvan20 @NBAOfficial @BobbyMarks42 But they do, it’s not the NBA’s place to decide when something is over the line and rescind technicals though. Because it’s impossible to draw the line

@doubledoubleguy @NBAOfficial @BobbyMarks42 No one should get tech for trash talk in the first place

Here we go… since NIL ruined the NCAA they are now having the refs manufacture a Cinderella team by giving VCU every call.

@ESPNInsights And probably gave up 75% of Syracuses points

Audi Crooks gave it her all despite Iowa State's loss to Syracuse. She scored 59% of the team's 63 points, outscoring the entire Syracuse team in the paint 34-10 😤

Somebody frame that Yaxel poster

The refs gift Boozer foul shots

Refs starting to go to work on getting Duke through

@LEARLOCKS I feel like you sometimes delete live bets you post after they lose, which is scum

What is your one sport take? I FEEL nothing is guaranteed in sports gambling!

@ryanhammer09 Pace is meaningless. The only thing on this chart that matters is Net Rating. Pace isn’t indicative of tourney success or failure.

The Trapezoid of Excellence for the 68 NCAA Tournament Teams⬇️

@VonckKyle @ryanhammer09 Correct, pace is meaningless and doesn’t hold up as a trend predicting bracket winners

@ryanhammer09 This is a wild chart. What is the point of the x axis at all? And why the trapezoid shape? Could just highlight the teams with really strong Net Ratings

@haslametrics GOAT

@doubledoubleguy Later tonight.

I’m not sure. I don’t believe there was a single tournament team to have not faced a single opponent in my top-100 last year, and I’m fairly sure High Point is the only team this year.
