Nikola Jokic definitely signed off on the Nuggets firing Michael Malone because he doesn't want to be annoyed by a coach
Jokic had to sign off on this, right?... with Jokic, I feel like you, he's always teetering on the edge of being like, 'You know, I don't really like playing basketball. I'd rather just hang out with my horses.' You don't wanna piss 'em off. So I feel like you have to have that conversation with 'em.

I think that Houston was uncomfortable not playing from behind. I feel like Houston had had to lead the whole game and they were like, wait, we're, we're usually the ones that are, that are coming back at the last minute.
Will Richard was the real player of the game for Florida in the National Championship
Walter Clayton got player of the tournament player of the Final Four, which he deserved... But Will Richard was the player of the game for this game. And it was him keeping them afloat in the first half with his threes. And then if you look at the final possession, his on-ball defense in the final possession is where like all the timing for Houston got screwed up.
Todd Golden's technical foul was the most strategic in history

If they lose this year, that would without question be the best two year... they'd be a dynasty of chokers. Like back to back all time choking losses in the NCAA tournament. I hope that doesn't happen, PFT. We would've never seen anything close to this before.
I'm picking Purdue or Nebraska to win the national title
I think that Purdue, no one's talking about Purdue. They've been hovering around the top. Every time they, they, they start to be discussed in the media. It feels like they lose their next game. I'm gonna say Purdue, my money's on Purdue or Nebraska this year.
