Y’all really don’t remember the Deuce dunk a week ago? Came right down the lane, threw it down with two hands. I think it was in his big 18-point game.

Apparently Obi and RJ were yuckin’ it up after the game so hopefully it’s all good. Maybe something that needed to be said was said.

Please tell me Caitlin Clark has a great nickname. She needs one.

Gasol was a big-time all-NBA player in his prime and a DPoY. I do wonder if he would be as effective in today’s game where bigs have to get up and down the court and guard the perimeter more than ever. But he was a nobody at age 24, never averaged double-digit rebounds or 2 blocks per 36 and didn’t start shooting 3’s until he was 32. His teams were always in the bottom 5 in pace. Still, that’s way too high of a bar for the purpose of this comparison.

I just wonder if Hart has another level to get to with experience, coaching, and hard work. He’s got a great package of length, athleticism, touch, smarts, and court vision.

Iowa – South Carolina going to be a very fun fourth quarter I predict.

Also, apropos of nothing, was watching the game with my dad who was asking how German Hartenstein was and I told him he was Afro-German and Black and that caused a somewhat hilarious amount of confusion.

I think as good as Hartenstein has been on defense, he’s more of an effort type defender that disrupts things by going the extra mile, while Marc was a legitimate star defender, DPOY level player, so yeah, it might be too optimistic for Hartenstein in the future to get in this conversation, but I’m convinced that he can be a difference maker when he’s healthy and getting consistent minutes. Very smart player, rarely makes bad mistakes, is skilled enough to be useful on offense and strong enough to keep up defensively. He definitely could be a plus starter.

Okay, maybe the Marc Gasol comparison is a tad overcooked…

Great team win. Defense picked up after that ridiculous first quarter and we started disrupting their offense with doubling, blizzing, showing and recovering, etc. Mitchell is a hell of a scorer but Brunson was right up there with him tonight.

The Sloth made several helpful plays for them (not the Knicks!) but it wasn’t enough. Haha! Summer is not far away.

Brunson and 4 Knicks draft picks, that’s pretty cool. Only 3 mercs played all night
