Spartans in the NBA/Pro Hoops

Yo Hayward, this is how you contest a jumper. Asswipe. Nope, I'm not bitter at all. Not one bit.

Draymond Green picked up 3 personal fouls in less than 8 minutes and 2 were iffy for playoff basketball.

"2 were iffy" is quite the understatement

Be crazy if the Warriors can overcome this crap performance by Steph, Klay and Draymond. I figured tonight would be a tough out. Didn't stop me from betting Dubs -7 because #action.

I guessed this game would be ugly and I took under 209 so I am feeling good. Still won't make up for my derby beat down.

I wish I had. Took the Warriors and the over.

Draymond Green, Gordon Hayward and a no-call that still haunts the Warriors’ star

Don't forget that shitface Heyward saying "Yeah I hacked him" afterwards.

Still butthurt 7 years later.

I'll never get over it. Izzo should have 3 titles, minimum. Fate is a cruel mistress.

Day Day's kid. 18 years fellas....

Good length for 1 month.

2009's SCF game 7 scarred me for life, and then the Tigers/Twins game 163 (Inge got hit!). Didn't think it'd get worse.

Harris is rising but I'd swap him and Z-Bo for this past season's ranking.

I'd agree with that, overall I thought the article was pretty good. Would be a fun debate for Spartans by NBA career, especially if DayDay salts away another title or 4.

Forbes lit for 31 in 81-70 win over Boston tonight.

Why Summer League star Bryn Forbes may be the Spurs' latest hidden gem

I can't think of another player I have seen improve so much at this late age.  I could see it in Moneyball before his senior year.  He bulked up to transform his body and was taking people to the hole.  You could say that was just a scrimmage and you can say the same thing about NBA summer leauge now.  But putting up back to back 35 points against fringe NBA players makes him a serious baller no matter where his career goes next.
Eric Snow might be another example.  But he was an athlete that had to become a basketball.player.  Forbes did it more the other way around which would seem next to impossible.

How has Forbes' D been this summer?

I kind of wonder if he always was riding shotgun a bit to Denzel.

Forbes is on the Deuce right now, under the 2:00 mark in the 2nd qtr.

There's also a golf emoji at the end so I assume he means he's going to play golf

I totally did not pay attention to that, and I'm not sure I'd have figured out that was a golfer on my own.

Not MSU related.

I've been watching some Summer League.

Lonzo Ball and Kyle Kuzma are impressive. Future is bright for the Lake Show.

I did not realize Kuzma was from Flint. How did that happen? He went to Utah? He's really good.

I blindly bet LAL ML tonight in the Summer League Champ Game +115 against Swanigan and Portland (game just tipped on ESPNU/2). Did not realize Lonzo was sitting out.
