@brutalfish13 @BenHowardOPT @HPbasketball J-Dub has played almost nothing all season and was terrible when he did play because of the hand injury.

@BenHowardOPT @HPbasketball Well yeah because J-Dub and Mitchell aren’t in that lineup. Breaking: team without their three on-ball creators isn’t a good offense. What?

Shai's case, simplified: - Wins the most - Takes NOTHING off the board - Wastes NOTHING - Holds up the offense for the best team in the league

@ParadoxicalJoel @HPbasketball

@HPbasketball If you saw Luka and SGA, I think OKC gets significantly better and Lakers get worse. SGA is a by-product of the team.

Honestly, no. OKC fans will riot but I just simply don't think the film is going to show that. I'll do th work here in a week or so, I've started on his passing. But the key is that MVP SHOULD be about winning. That HAS to be paramount. As much as I think OKC wins FIRST because of their defense, it is INARGUABLE that no one wins more than Shai. Not in games, not in point diff per minute, not in clutch time. Shai is the biggest WINNER right now in the league and there is nothing more valuable than that, even if a lot of his game leaves me underwhelmed compared to the monster engines in terms of creativity.

@PeterBurnsESPN Fouling up 2 is simply the right play. Final shot, college player hitting 2 free throws, home game in OT, and etc,

Still replaying final 10 seconds of Florida game in my mind & I'm even more baffled this morning One of the best defensive minded teams in the country and they tried/failed to foul while up 2 & give up a 3. Galaxy brain thinking plus cockiness cost the Gators last night

@GrokProgrammer @JHook9 @CaseyTaylor520 @SethDavisHoops You foul in the back court.

@RobAlexTheGreat @JHook9 @CaseyTaylor520 @SethDavisHoops Sure you can. Could have been a shooting foul from behind the line when they fouled resulting in 3 FT's. The new continuation rules is one of the reasons most coaches aren't opting to foul up 3 in the waning seconds.

Todd Golden has proven himself to be a brilliant tactician but pressing and gambling like you're behind when you're ahead by two is not the way to go here. A soft 2-2-1 forces Iowa to burn clock just to get the ball upcourt.

@michaelr3848 @TheMFBSports @nickbateman33 Sure, but OT favors the favorites. The more you drag out the game the more Fl win % goes up.

@TheMFBSports @nickbateman33 You have far less of a chance to hit a game winner than a normal shot.

We need to nip this in the bud before it becomes a huge problem 5 game suspension or maybe prison for life if you intentionally foul up 2

@seth_silvani @FloridaBBHour Why? It’s the smart play.

@FloridaBBHour "plan was to foul up 2" should get you fined

Todd Golden: "Disappointing result for us tonight." Says the Gators "did a poor job executing" late. Plan was to foul and Stirtz got away from press.

@masonj77 @FloridaBBHour

@FloridaBBHour Plan was to foul is even dumber than pressing.

@32richcoop @johnnyj24 @Lethal5582 @FloridaBBHour You’re the 11 pt favorites with more depth. Anything can happen, but the analytics say the most likely outcome is Iowa runs out of gas and Fl runs away in OT.

@johnnyj24 @Lethal5582 @FloridaBBHour It makes no damn sense to foul up 2 and at risk of going to OT when anything can happen. Take a chance to go to OT and then possibly lose? Yea no. The right move was to play straight up defense to prevent them getting a shot off

@BookItBob2 @Swimswimmersh @CaseyTaylor520 @SethDavisHoops The analytics and game theory favor it and Golden himself has done it since his USF days. You get the last shot and Fl is the favorite in OT. Extending the game by 5 minutes. Increases their WP%.

@RobAlexTheGreat @Swimswimmersh @CaseyTaylor520 @SethDavisHoops Just because he said it last year doesn’t mean he isn’t an absolute stupid bitch.. There’s a reason no one else does that because it makes absolutely zero sense and is just a fucking terrible coach

@JHook9 @CaseyTaylor520 @SethDavisHoops Wrong. Can’t lose if you foul. Analytics say right play is to foul.

@CaseyTaylor520 @SethDavisHoops They were up 2 with Iowa in bonus. Fouling was not correct decision. Forcing a tough 2 was

@GaryBautista_v2 @CaseyTaylor520 @SethDavisHoops You’re the favorite in OT.

@CaseyTaylor520 @SethDavisHoops Wanted to foul so Iowa - who was down 2 points and in bonus, could shoot 2 FTs??? Huh?

@BookItBob2 @Swimswimmersh @CaseyTaylor520 @SethDavisHoops Wrong. He said last year he’d foul up 2 as well

@Swimswimmersh @CaseyTaylor520 @SethDavisHoops He is just a dumbass coach who trying to come up with any excuse to justify his absolute retardedness

@GhostofDok @Swimswimmersh @CaseyTaylor520 @SethDavisHoops No. Going to OT is the optimal strategy for favorites.

@Swimswimmersh @CaseyTaylor520 @SethDavisHoops I think that’s a fake video bc the audio doesn’t line up with his lips

@cooperh1cks @EvanMiya They’re super overinflated. It’s so obvious.

@EvanMiya Balls gotta be overinflated right? Right?

I vouch to put Vanderbilt in as the Sweet 16 team over Kansas and St. John's. This is atrocious hoop.

@tyrone_smi41911 @JacobRaymone What? Not a fan of either of these teams and don’t bet on basketball.

@RobAlexTheGreat @JacobRaymone Cope

I’ve never seen more airballs than in this St Johns - Kansas game

@KHeiserCBB Will stop if they change balls. The ball is way too inflated.

65% of the shots for St. John’s have been threes. Shooting 26%. Multiple airballs. Maybe stop doing that.

@RyanCanfield9 @a1fantasy23 It’s the ball. The Wilson ball has been ass all tourney.

@a1fantasy23 So sloppy

This Kansas-St John's game has made me love basketball less.

@Guage28 @a1fantasy23 It’s the basketball. It’s over inflated.

@a1fantasy23 This is pathetic, as a Kansas fan I hate this team so much.

@UConnFanDotCom The ball is badly overinflated. Why no one can make a basket.

St. John's has spent the last four minutes throwing the ball at the basket with little effort at trying to make it go in.
