General sports thread

[Pandas795]

For discussions that don't fit the F1/Football thread. Nba, NFL etc.

Idea by @gimme_yuri_plz

Today officially starts March Madness and Duke the #1 seed was almost knocked out. But we had a few upsets already 👀

Perhaps the Celtics could take first place in the Eastern Division

What a bummer, hopefully Pistons can still do well.

MLB season starts Wednesday night with Yankees at Giants... on Netflix. I hate MLB's absurd number of broadcast partners. (And blackouts. Iowa is 'local territory' for six teams despite Des Moines being within a three hour drive of zero teams.)

On the plus side, Hulu's live TV picked up Marquee, so I'll save $20/month in my efforts to watch the Cubs this season.

(And if you have T-Mobile, the free year of MLB.TV is available Tuesday morning.)

Same with NFL =.=

Oh wow Texas beats BYU 👀. Texas was the 11th seed and BYU was sixth. Potential #1 draft pick Dybantsa dropped 35 points and everyone esle...sucked 😬. The second highest was only 14

How general is the sport we're discussing here?
Have any of you ever heard of "Bound Tennis"?
The first time I saw it in Japan, I thought: what the hell is that?

Brock for Broglio still takes this title, but this one's not that far behind.

The Lakers won eight in a row. LUKA DROPPED 60 ON MIAMI!

I did not expect the Lakers to compete this year due to their poor defense and aging LeBron James. However, if Luka goes into beast mode, they might have a shot.

I mean that's why Lakers wanted Luka no? To have a star after Lebron

It's not like that they wanted. They were handed a generational star by a dumb general manager

Loyola 111, Tennessee Tech 42 back in 1963 first round
