the thing that really sold me on cade is his playmaking its not the most important thing for a 19 year old wing to be able to run the pick and roll but the fact that he can makes it obvious that hes a baller not just some long arm freak
― lag∞n, Sunday, 4 April 2021 21:23 (three years ago) link
my understanding is that cade is a tall PG a la lamelo and less a wing
― class project pat (m bison), Sunday, 4 April 2021 22:33 (three years ago) link
i think hes a wing but hes def got some pg skills
― lag∞n, Sunday, 4 April 2021 22:35 (three years ago) link
lamelo is in his own category
heartbreaker for arizona in the women's finals

It should be a fun game tonight as long as there aren't dozens of fouls to gum up the flow. Seems like a toss-up in terms of the talent on the floor.
― Judge Roi Behan (Aimless), Monday, 5 April 2021 20:28 (three years ago) link
yeah, clearly the best two teams ... now that this is the final, i'm glad their December game got canceled. reduces the noise before and after tonight.
i figure the Zags will find a way, but will not be shocked if Baylor pulls it out.
― alpine static, Monday, 5 April 2021 22:06 (three years ago) link
yeah same
― lag∞n, Monday, 5 April 2021 22:07 (three years ago) link
zags have a higher true talent level, with a starting five that'll all be drafted, but baylor is a truly relentless team on both ends. could definitely see them giving the zags similar problems that ucla did.
no real rooting interest (tho the overall grossness of baylor as an institution makes me favor gonzaga a little), im just hopin for good hoops
― voodoo chili, Monday, 5 April 2021 22:14 (three years ago) link
plus if gonzaga wins tonight, they go on to fight their true nemesis: king kong.
― voodoo chili, Monday, 5 April 2021 22:15 (three years ago) link
every college basketball "goofy mustache man" sets himself up for the fall. baylor will win, and timme will sob on camera.

you must not be familiar with baylor's matthew mayer
― voodoo chili, Monday, 5 April 2021 22:48 (three years ago) link
oh no. Michael Jordan is running out of draft picks.

lmao every team has one

baylor is serious
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 6 April 2021 02:14 (three years ago) link
seems clear gonzaga just doesn’t have the athletes outside of suggs. timmie can’t play defense vs this team. i think gonzaga can still win tho if baylor goes cold from three... they might be the better team but are also shooting unsustainably
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 6 April 2021 02:22 (three years ago) link
suggs gonna need to fully take this game over
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 6 April 2021 02:38 (three years ago) link
i support it
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 6 April 2021 02:41 (three years ago) link
best tweet i saw on this game so far (from midway thru the first half):
Gonzaga: we have a high scoring offense Baylor: we lift with the football team— Mike Golic Jr (@mikegolicjr) April 6, 2021
agree Timme is a defensive problem for the Zags. and that if they're gonna come back, it's gonna have to be centered around Suggs (and free throws)

also, every basketball team ever needs a Mark Vital

yeah physically this isn't even close

this game isn’t making a great case for corey kispert’s NBA future. an NBA team could prob get him some more open threes but he’s getting totally washed out by baylor’s athleticism
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 6 April 2021 02:50 (three years ago) link
not a lot of ways to win in modern basketball when you’re the less athletic team, the worse three point shooting team, and the worse rebounding team
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 6 April 2021 02:52 (three years ago) link
one word "backcuts"
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 6 April 2021 02:54 (three years ago) link
the worse rebounding team

thought exercise: put present-day andre drummond on the zags
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 6 April 2021 02:59 (three years ago) link
they should have some college games where one of the teams gets to have one nba guy
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 6 April 2021 03:00 (three years ago) link
gonzaga would win this game if they had bam
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 6 April 2021 03:01 (three years ago) link
would pretty much solve all their problems, something to consider
xp and it should be completely random across the 450 or whatever nba players
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 6 April 2021 03:02 (three years ago) link
meanwhile it seems suggs could step right into the NBA playoffs

big man named Flo Thamba, matt armstrong just inventing players at this point

in related news, i am so tired of listening to Raftery say "this kid..." after every other play.
this kid, so toughthis kid, so smartthis kid, what a player he is, huh

welp

Oh so this is how you defend against drive n kick offense. Baylor closeouts are ridic.

boring outcome, the mitchell dude on baylor looks legit tho

man baylor plays hard

baylor came out loose and confident. gonzaga came out flat and were a bit tight and tentative all game. zags catch and shoot players caught, started their motion, saw pressure coming, brought the ball back down, and looked to pass, over and over. drives got smothered. baylor allowed the zags no rhythm at all. great defensive game by baylor.
― Judge Roi Behan (Aimless), Tuesday, 6 April 2021 03:50 (three years ago) link
also baylor made all their threes
― voodoo chili, Tuesday, 6 April 2021 04:01 (three years ago) link
they are a weird mix of things old grumpy sports columnists love with 3 point ball which they hate
