If you guessed "B", you're correct. Great job!

What does Julius Randle do here?

A) Pass it to the unguarded teammate streaking towards the basket

B) Keep the ball and then throw up some type of BS shot in traffic that doesn't even hit rim

Feels like Julius Randle use to drive and kick a lot and it was quite effective where now he has more tunnel vision.

Last year he passed on 41% of his drives. This season it’s dropped to 36% which is his lowest pass% on drives since his 2019-20 Knicks season where the team finished 12th in the east

Nice shot diet for Paolo Banchero in the first quarter getting to the rim and not settling for contested mid rangers.

Did have 4 turnovers tho

Ayo Dosunmu vs drop coverage

One of the easiest buckets of Naz Reid's career.

Rudy Gobert occupies WCJ and its a clear lane to the basket after the Banchero turnover caused by McDaniels

Opposing guards continue to think they have a mismatch when Rudy Gobert is guarding them.

The Akron vs Miami (OH) MAC mens basketball tournament championship game next weekend is going to be must watch TV.

We might be witnessing the first time an undefeated team isn't favored in its own conference tourney...

Miami (OH) has eight wins this season of 3-points or less and four overtime wins. They finished the regular season ranked 88th per Kenpom, 2nd in the MAC behind 60th overall Akron.

Miami (OH) finishes the regular season undefeated as the Ohio Bobcat fans throw various objects at them.

Dru Smith may want to worry more about the guy who has the most three pointers in the league over helping on a Grant Williams drive.

If Tyler Herro played every game like he was playing against someone from the state of Wisconsin, the Heat would be in business.
