    May as well make it 100 and only the one seeds get byes. If a team is going to complain about being on the wrong side of the bubble they really have no teeth.

    What’s crazy is that was just after a year when we had two one-and-done first round picks in Riley and KJ.

    We really don’t know what his priorities are. Winning a title matters most to us as fans. But if he dreams of the NBA, he may be excited about Ayo, TSJ, KJ, Riley and Wagler, but still want to get to know other staffs and make sure he’s taking a deep inventory of who he would best click with and...

    His name ends with “lovic”. I’ve seen enough. Sign him.

    Andrej needs to work on those FTs. Can’t have that kind of gift of drawing fouls driving to the hoop and not being able to turn them into points. It seems like he’s somehow an 80% FT shooter but always misses at least one when I’m paying attention.
