The pride and power of Iowa State basketball's Audi Crooks Audi Crooks hears the haters. But Iowa State's star inherited resilience from her mom and joy from her dad. Her high-scoring game is the ultimate counterpoint.

Spent some time in Iowa and went long on Iowa State’s Audi Crooks. Despite her dominance, she deals with a lot of negativity, especially about her body. But no matter what is said about her, Audi Crooks wears a smile. www.espn.com/womens-colle...

Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she “cleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.

I was among those who not that long ago thought that Ayton was going be at least a good to excellent big man. But, uh, nope. 🤷‍♂️

The Pistons are about to lose their 4th straight game and now the 1st seed in the East might still be in reach for the Boston Celtics after all…

Everything’s coming up Milhouse!

…But salute Dorchester’s Taina Mair and her Duke Blue Devils who won another ACC Championship this afternoon. Taina had 19 points and 12 rebounds to lead her squad. Former Celtics coach Kara Lawson did a great job this season after a slow start, key injuries & losing a local standout Oluchi Okananwa

I miss the days we could send BC, BU, Northeastern, UMass Amherst & Harvard to the NCAA Tournament or the NIT and root for UConn, Providence, Maine, Vermont, URI, UNH, etc. on the side…

Don’t think a Massachusetts squad has made the NCAA Tournament since before COVID hit. That’s just depressing.

Boston College fired their coach, Boston University’s in the Patriot League championship against Lehigh, UMass Amherst plays undefeated Miami (OH) in the MAC Tournament on Thursday, Northeastern’s BEEN out, Harvard are the 2 seed in the Ivy League Tournament, Stonehill lost & Merrimack’s playing now

Press conference earlier today about U.S. citizens and green card holders who were grabbed federal agents at O'Hare airport, and taken to two detention facilities, one across state lines, while lying to lawyer and families about their location.

Rob Pelinka’s career is Forrest Gump level

…In the case the Pistons lose tonight, the Boston Celtics could be within 2.5 games of 1st in the Eastern Conference and 2.5 games ahead of the Knicks in 3rd with the Cavs within 1.5 games of them with 17-18 games left to go.

Lakers can’t get their players to develop anything except symptoms…

At least LeBron didn’t play…

And the Lakers didn’t win by enough for Dalton Knecht to get minutes.

I look at Jaxson Hayes and DeAndre Ayton, shrug and say to myself…

“We developed Luke Kornet and he’s in San Antonio now, developed Queta who’s starting center now, traded for Vuch and are presently developing Amari Williams in Maine—who’s on pace to make the roster next season like Jordan Walsh”

Luka shot that ball with NO RESERVATION OR REMORSE WHATSOEVER…

That was only a good shot in “Double Dribble” for NES.

The Knicks are godawful on the road, they’re about to drop to 17-15…

Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics are 21-10 at home and 22-11 on the road and close to 3 games within the 1st place Pistons who are on a 3 game skid in March…

Bum ass Knicks.

The Lakers and Knicks both can’t lose and it’s greatly affecting my ability to enjoy this game…

The Knicks losing means the Lakers win. The Lakers, the team with the trash front office that can’t evaluate talent well or develop the players they drafted or signed in free agency. Bum ass squads…

…Everyone in Boston heard that…

…And we took that PERSONALLY.

Shaquille O’Neal not knowing who Baylor Scheierman is—who started 16 games this year so far—including several national games, totally checks out…

He doesn’t watch the games. He’s here for entertainment, not actual insight or analysis.

What an incredible defensive read by Derrick White to get out to Merrill and contest that shot.

Over the last week, Hugo Gonzalez has guarded and held his own against:

Tyrese Maxey
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Cooper Flagg
Donovan Mitchell

Really versatile and impressive stuff from the Celtics rookie.

Really great read by Neemias Queta to set Jayson Tatum up on the cut off the post-up. Tatum ends up at the line off the feed from Queta.

Friday, Tatum's first shift ended at the 6:08 mark and he returned to start the second quarter. Today, he first subbed out at the 3:19 mark and returned with 6:55 left in the first half.

12 points
4/8
+5 in 11:26

My absolute favorite piece of Country Joe McDonald trivia:

Good first stint for Luka Garza. He's back to being the backup center with Nikola Vucevic out for a few weeks. Celtics are perfectly content to give those minutes to Garza. He's earn the full trust of the team.

No Brown or Tatum to start Q2. Brown went all of Q1, so this is his regular rest. Looks like they're trying to manage minutes a bit for Tatum after he played nearly nine minutes in Q1.

Great hustle by Hugo on that last Cavs possession. Sprinted to get to Keon Ellis, who had the ball on the wing. That allowed Derrick White to bump down to the corner and take away that option.

Gonzalez then sprinted to contest Donovan Mitchell's missed 3 from above the break. Exemplified his motor.

I never expected Jayson Tatum to look THIS good already. He's freaking awesome.
