šŸ€ Hoos in the Pros 2023-24

Fenerbahce has some money… they make most of their revenue from their football/soccer team… who are perennial contenders.

This trickles down to the basketball team… plus Devon can now get some fantastic Ottoman stew.

Yeah, FenerbahƧe and Galatasary are the two traditional powerhouses in Turkish soccer, although FenerbahƧe hasn’t managed a league title in a little while now I believe. I’m a Beşiktaş guy myself though.

Oddly specific dream two nights ago that game 5 of the Finals was tied 103 late and Porzingis hit a 3 to put the game away. I know he’s missed the last two with injury but lets see if I really am a basketball prophecy or not :man_in_lotus_position:t5:

What’s Hauser’s contract like, when does it run out? He should be getting PAID going forward.

Yeah… he looks good. He’ll get the Kyle Korver second contract.

The NBA Finals have been horrible. I’ve tried watching several times and just can’t do it, even when Hauser is playing…

These whole playoffs haven’t been great. Way more blowouts than close games.

Yeah. Very underwhelming playoffs as a whole. Been enjoying WNBA games more than the Finals

I enjoyed the playoffs despite the blowouts. Mavs/Wolves, Wolves/Nuggets, Nuggets/Wolves Pacers/Knicks all had moments.

The finals have been awful

I’m sensing a pattern here :wink:

I guess on a personal level, I lost some interest in the playoffs after both my west coast team (Clippers) and east coast team (Heat) lost in the first round. Though I guess being a UVA fan, I should be used to the first round exits :rofl:

Also congrats to Sam on his ring, that’s awesome.

Glad ā€œold manā€ (my age) Al Horford finally got his too.

Also happy for Payton Pritchard. He’s scrappy, been a fan of his since watching him play at Oregon.

On the Duncd on podcast, they talked about Hauser getting mid level exception $$ which will be $13-$19 mil per year over the next few years.

Ha yea i would not call mysa Wolves fan but I emjoyed watching tbeir run and Antman is special. The othet pattern is I prefer watching TNTs coverage over ESPNs. The studio shows arent close.

Glad Hauser got a ring. Still hate the Celtics and really hated the Finals I was barely able to watch 10mins of it all.

Some great stuff from ESPN here:

Score was 19-18 and then …. Hauser with the pocket pass to Jrue to Brown - hockey assist Sam… Sam for 3 off the pindown. Sam with the steal off Luka and then pass to Tatum to Brown - hockey assist Sam. Tatum so inspired by Sam he then picks PJ and goes coast to coast for 2 - Celtics up 10.…. So in 70 seconds Sam ends Dallas!!! And by the way he starts the 2nd quarter with another 3… Dallas never gets closer than 9 after that.

My son made me watch the second half. That correction was the only interesting thing that happened.
