Who's our guy down the stretch?
My first thought was team defense, because I think we have more than one guy who can get a bucket when we need one.

Time for BH to replace DM in the starting lineup. Feels like we’re not setting the tone defensively to start the game, and that could bury us against UConn — Brad yanked Mirk after like 2 defensive possessions + a missed boxout. I love the skill and versatility he brings on the offensive end, but I think he’s better suited as a spark plug off the bench right now. The game needs to slow down for him. We absolutely need his rebounding and passing, but I’m not sure we’re getting much from him that Ben hasn’t shown he can do consistently better.

I sincerely hope you left out the /s on that post. While I do like Ben he is no close to being starting material on this team. He isn't better than David in any stat. Not even close. Is he in a slump? Maybe it is due to the size and speed of the smaller players our last two games but not a chance Ben deserves the start. I could see going small with Petro starting but we need his rebounding period.

My Gen Alpha nephews talk about aura farming. Is that what this is?

“Aura farming" is a slang term for the act of deliberately cultivating an image of coolness or charisma, often through repetitive actions or a curated aesthetic. The term combines the slang "aura," meaning charisma or a cool vibe, with "farming," which comes from video games where it means repeatedly performing an action to gain a reward or level up. The goal is to appear effortlessly cool, though overdoing it can be seen as "cringe" or trying too hard.”

Looks like he’s gotta be consistent with it, but can’t overdue it. Or else it becomes cheugy.

Looking this morning at our schedule. The next 5 games are all going to be a challenge and will tell us a lot about what our team is made of. BTW, someone posted in another thread that's about Tomi, Petro and Lee recovery time that it's an "undeniable fact" they won't be 100% for another month. LOL. There are no undeniable facts with respect to recovery from injury. For all we know, they might be at full go next week. Or day after tomorrow in MSG.

The tracksuits in the NIL store may be the farming part of it hahaha ($169!!!)

speaking of Gen Alpha, I don't think I've ever seen a trend take hold of sporting events like 67 has....
