@RealDanZak The players know what they're getting themselves into, but not all successful coaches yell. Some are just bullies, others politely nail you to the bench. I wonder how the average person who condones the yelling would react if their boss or teacher humiliated them in public. 🤔

Incredible take from Charles Barkley on Tom Izzo: "The media, who don't know anything about sports, say 'Why is he yelling his players?' That's called coaching... if parents & friends get mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents & better friends."

For many years now I've been spent alot of my time here writing about basketball. Specifically the NBA Draft. I get alot of views but very little engagement. Like I'm on here by myself. It is very time consuming and I don't want to waste my time. Should I take a break this year or keep it going? Does anyone here LIKE my draft content?

There is no doubt they have invested heavily in Nyc. However, they are trying to penetrate a market where the Knicks have been the main attraction for generations. No matter how bad the Knicks have been in the past, that fans arent going away. The #isles gave it a try and left.

Nets/Liberty have invested heavily in city: $1B at Barclays Center, $52M at HSS training center, another $80M at new Libs training center plus undisclosed millions for youth training center across from Barclays. Knicks/Rangers need to match that commitment to NYC.

@The__Cooler I thought he was entering the draft last year and is being overlooked this year. Someone will get a steal.

@midrangehoops I was thinking the same. Whoever controls the pace will win. This kid Philon has been quarterbacking an uptempo NBA style offense under Nate Oats. He's got good size, speed, can shoot it, and is an improved playmaker.

There are so many good PGs in this draft class that I feel like Alabama's Labaron Philon is being slept on. @midrangehoops I know you follow Hofstra. Are they a good matchup for Philon?

@NetsDaily Correct. In 2025, a 39-win play-in team wins the lottery ("They were lucky!"), Utah had the worst record overall and picks 5th ("They were unlucky!"), the Nets finished with the 6th-worst record and picked 8th ("They were stupid!"). It's a lottery.

It’s hard to say this after a game like last night but there’s NO guarantees in Draft Lottery. Even if Nets finish with worst record - certainly possible - they could wind at #5. Detroit did 3 times. Third worst, you could wind at #7. It appears to be dropoff after #8, but still.

@theblockspot It's not good, also happens every year. The playoff teams are set, the tanking teams are set. The only real "races" are to increase lottery odds and maybe to avoid the play-in. Teams are working with the system that's in place. The fans always lose after the ASG until playoffs.

Last 2 Nights In The NBA: Wolves over Jazz… by 36. Raptors over Bulls… by 30. Hornets over Heat… by 30. Thunder over Nets.. by 29. Nuggets over Sixers… by 28. Spurs over Kings… by 28. Knicks over Pacers… by 26. Celtics over Warriors… by 21. This is officially ridiculous.

@HoopsWeiss Syracuse, Boston College, and Pittsburgh slipped into basketball irrelevance chasing football money.

Is Syracuse an elite program any more or merely just a second tier ACC team? Orange Basketball Has Been Turned Down By Their Top Two Head Coaching Options --Josh Schertz of Saint Louis and Bryan Hodgson of South Florida. I miss Jim Boeheim, Pearl, Melo.

@EvanRobertsWFAN Point taken but last year they were accused of not tanking hard enough (Schroeder, Cam J, DFS). This year with 5 rookies and no stars, still not enough tanking. Plus they must lose by >10 ("They scaring me...fire the FO!") or <20 ("Poverty! Fire the FO!"). Not built for a tank.

@paulvault5 @michaelknowball @Tjonesonthenba @NetsDaily I can't address the person calling you the "r" word, but you could probably do a better job of proving him wrong. Meanwhile, you made two posts accusing me of not being able to read while avoiding my question. So you're imploding on all counts. Try harder
