Saw that, and he did, from the standpoint that an owner publicly telling his team that it's best that they tank is publicly acknowledging that the fans are not paying to see an actual competitive game, they're watching deliberate losing. But the flip side of that is what about the cause? We all know teams tank, because the model still favors tanking to get a better shot at the draft. Regardless, gotta love Cuban. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall that he spent a similar amount on champagne and a large tip at a high end bar after the Mavs won their last championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Troy goes 2-3 for 4 points and +4, in 6 minutes in his first game as a Knick, a win over the Magic. Hopefully he works his way into more time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Watching Celtics-Knicks, Troy is playing well. Just had a tip-in dunk of a Trey Burke miss and has made a couple other nice plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s playing crunch time minutes too. It was the same in Houston last year. I think with Houston he was just a victim of them going all-in for a title. As I type, he just made another fantastic baseline drive and finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it when he got waived, the Pacers should pick him up. I can only imagine how much Vic could help him achieve. Alas...I'm not in management.

FW_Hoosier Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Not the NBA, but Nick Zeisloft just went 12-15 (!!!) from three in a game in the Lithuanian Basketball League. Judging from the title of this video, that was a team record. Absolutely unbelievable shooter.

Sounds like he’s had a big impact on Toronto on the court and off of it. That's one of the better articles on a player I've read, enjoyable and insightful, thanks for posting it. I remember early on his soph season at IU some were saying he didn't have a killer instinct, and talking about his demeanor. This is such a great reflection of how wrong that kind of judgment can be. He's a serious, quiet killer. He's a tremendous baller who isn't focused, at all, on stats, getting his, or being considered the star of the team. He's a true "student of the game" kind of player, who will kill you defensively and will then surprise you when he either drills the ball over you or explodes by you. I think he can be one of the better players in the League, he's that good. I hope he stays healthy, he'll be fun to watch for years, and is, genuinely, a great "representative" for IU in the NBA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a great read! im with you, going to be very fun to see how he develops. Biased as a Celtics fan, but two guys I’m really looking forward to watching the next couple years are OG and Jaylen Brown. Both long, athletic guys that are already eliteish defensively, both sort of intellectual guys, so going to be fun to see how they evolve offensively. Both have Kawai/Paul George potential (keyword potential), but going to depend on how good they can become play makers and shot makers. Really excited to watch both develop, and could be a really matchup for years to come between Toronto and Boston. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston has advantage of having Hayward out there with those guys, too. That's a ton of length, athleticism and scoring they're going to have going forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t seen a Celtics-Raptors game this year so not sure who OG defended. Tatum is a better pure scorer than Brown, but at this point in their careers the Celtics run more offense/play making through Brown. Tatum’s role is increasing but has been more scoring off reversals, etc., so as much creating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Tatum is going to be a stud, but if the Celtics ever got a chance to make a trade for someone like Anthony Davis and had to pick, I think Brown might be the one you keep.

Not high on the Knicks organization, but that's great news regardless. And a great story, really. Undrafted, shined in the summer league, has clearly continued to work hard on his craft, now a better shooter to go with the athleticism, works very hard on the defensive side of the ball, and he's proved the doubters wrong. And now he's another IU success story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
