"Especially when they just start hammering down on that defense, making it a little bit more intense. Teams like the Rockets that have gone through the season kind of scoring by committee, it doesn't work as well in the playoffs. All of a sud, you're passing it around, the defense is intensified, you're wondering who's going to be shooting it, who's the guy? And all of a sudden the shot clock ex...
"They've been playing some great basketball and I think they are going to make a deep run into the playoffs. Let me know your comments. Let me know what you think. Like I said, I know Clippers and Clipper Nation hasn't had much to say in the last few years, but like I said, this Clipper team looks really good and looks for reals this year for the first time in a long time."
"We are into the NBA playoffs and I'm excited about this and it wasn't without some drama on the final day of the season with the Clippers and Warriors playing in a meaningful game and that meant with a Clippers win that the warriors go into the play in."
"Well, how did he do compared to the contemporaries and you know, same situation, you know, Tiger woods never went to a playoff hole. Tiger woods would have dominated through the rest of that and Jack Nicklaus the same. So when we start talking about the greatest of all time, you do have to recognize the career Grand Slam, but we need to tap the brakes on putting him on the Mount Rushmore of all...
"And the Milwaukee Bucks are a team that everybody in the Eastern Conference seemingly wants to face because they feel that that's a flawed team come playoff time. And then if you go back yet another day, another team fighting for one of these three slots, Denver fires their head coach. What is going on? Do any of these teams really want to be in that playoff slot? You would think so, but that's...
"I can think of Larry Mize chipping in in a playoff hole to win over somebody like Greg Norman, thinking about Jack Nicklaus in 86, winning it, being the oldest person to win this. And then Tiger Woods a few years ago in 2019, coming back and winning this in just an improbable fashion. If you only watch one tournament a year, it is the Masters. It has to be the Masters. This is the one that ever...
"I'll talk more about that in a bit, but let's talk about how the game folded out. And to me it was clear that we had the top two teams in the nation. I thought that from the beginning and I really do believe that we did see the top two teams playing each other for the national championship, which is always great. Now in the first half, we started off really slow, neither team hitting the three ...
"And I just don't think if you have just that one person carrying your offense at this point against a team like Auburn and Florida or Houston, I think it's just too much. And I think that Houston with their rebounding, with their defense will be cutting down the nets tonight. And that was who I thought was going to cut this down at the beginning. I thought it would be Houston versus Florida and...
"It really just kind of brought the popularity back into the sport that carried it into the 80s. However, in the 90s, when the players went on strike, they lost a lot of fans. And some fans never really returned. Some took years, if not decades to actually return to the game. And now we're at where we're at. In my opinion, baseball has become a very regionalized game within the United States."
"Well, we are now down to the Final Four in the women's NCAA Tournament and it is much the same as the men's. We are looking at a lot of number one seeds. The only exception in both the men's and women's tournaments is UConn, who was a number two seed. And with Juju Watkins getting injured as the number one seed, USC, it really kind of made UConn the favorite."
"And the, the. The there was a pretty big drop off to the next type, types of teams that were ranked second and third in their seatings here. And that's really the way it kind of played out. Only Florida had a little bit of trouble in their Elite Eight game. Everybody else won very comfortably and that was something that again was pretty expected. Florida did, you know, get some breaks here."
"The Chicago Bulls have a really young nucleus of players. Kobe, White, Marsellis. I think I'm saying his name correctly. This team has a good height, too. I was watching the game last night, watching the entire game, and they did the starting lineup announcements. And the shortest player in that starting lineup, I believe, was like, 6, 8, you know, so. Or Kobe White at 6'six I'm sorry, ...
"Well, it's that time of year where we need to be talking about the NBA playoffs and whether teams should be resting their star players or making a concentrated push to get a higher seed within the playoffs. As we saw last year, you know, especially in the Eastern Conference, injuries really kind of dictated how the playoffs went. It's not that Boston really, you know, backed their way into the ...
"Now, it's not that they're going to be playing Mississippi State, a team like their caliber, in the remaining games of the tournament, if they're able to advance to the Final Four to the championship game. With that said, they're just going to have to take it game, game, got game by game. Excuse me, and just ride with the hot hand."
"At least that is what my hopes and prayers are because this is a superb talent and I cannot wait to see her back on the floor. This is devastating. This hurts for the young lady, for the school and for all of basketball, not just women's basketball, for all of basketball. Juju Watkins is an absolute star on and off the court, and it's just unfortunate that in her first run, we won't be ...
"So really, really a just unfortunate timing here on this injury. And as basketball fans, we have all been looking at the potential UConn USC game to go to the Final Four a matchup against Juju Watkins and Paige Bukers. It was going to be an absolutely huge game. The hype on this was going to be absolutely through the roof. And really had the opportunity to give the women's college game another ...
"I really think that we have seen the last of mid majors in the Sweet 16 and beyond and this is especially just accentuated when I take a look at these conferences that remain and the SEC, Big Ten and Big 12 really just kind of taking control of this tournament now to me it'll be interesting if the NCAA tournament still has its mystique of the Cinderella teams. I think the Cinderella teams will ...
"I expect Marquette to win this game, but that's going to be a lot of fun to watch. Likewise, UConn, the defending national championship, going against Oklahoma in an 89 matchup. You know, those can go either way, but we're going to see what Danny Hurley does here. They're the defending national champions until they're knocked off. You got to assume that they're going to be tough."
"Although I got them going to the Sweet 16 regardless, and losing to Michigan State. So I would say that is my most vulnerable team outside of my Final Four pick, which is Auburn. If Auburn went down before the Final Four, then we will see that those. Losing those three out of those last four was a real problem and not just, you know, fatigue or something like that. I think Florida is su...
